Forums - Gaming - Should I trade in my PS3 at GameStop?

I just wanted to say this:

Crazzy's 09 exclusive list is trumphed up with assumptions. Even if it wasn't, you should never decide your consoles based upon future lineups, but instead, back-catalog.

I'd say, if you want to sell it, if you can get 250 bucks for it, and if you have already played MGS4....go for it. You shouldn't have to ask us about something so simple, and anyway, most of these guys here are just trying to make a sale. They're all unofficial Sony representatives.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

Surely you mean 'prevent a sale' (i.e. the sale of OP's PS3)?

 



A smart person would sell it on ebay and get 60% more than gamestop trade in credit.

I know you are having some fun. But why would I need to like teh games you do and vice versa?

And I do like Uncharted it was fun as I said.

 

You don't. As you noticed, I was being just a tad frivolous.

However, I would add that I simply don't understand "KZ2 is not impressive" comments due to the irrefutable fact that it is very impressive. How can its incredible graphics and physics be described as anything other than impressive? It's a visual treat and a showcase of what the PS3 is capable of.

Well Crysis is true graphical treat in every aspect the physics are unmatched but as a game it is unimpressive. I prefer CoD4 to it. As for a console FPS I will reserve judgement until the games are out but my initial bias tells me the game will play like Resistance and Halo...Yeah you could play them but then I coudl also try walking through tar to uneccesarily impede gameply. the graphics I have seen of KZ2 don't particuarily strike me as OMG they appear to be just good. I will probably rent it but it has a long history of dual analog FPS games with bad controls and fuzzy targetting to overcome in terms of Bias. The Conduit will also be a rental and because of the IR pointer is has different biases a shorter bias but games like Red Steel didn't but it but showed some promise. MP3 controled nicely but there were some bugs and hinderences that I hope are worked out for the Conduit. Both games need to be fun and need to have a drive and difficulty level that is challenging for me to like them.

 

As for my most anticipated PS3 games they are Yakuza 3 and FF XIII. I really wish they would make another Shenmue and really wish they would get the SW Episode 1 out of Final Fantasy but go figure. We get what we get.

 



A smart person would have never bought a PS3 for $499 + when games like Mario Galaxy and Twilight Princess were on the Wii in the first place. Maybe the question people should ask is, why did you buy a PS3? And if you say "for ________ game" you should be punched in the face.

Eh, know nothing about your gaming tastes... as you don't even have anything listed in your profile.  The only people who would tell you otherwise probably have a weird agenda.

So whether or not that will be a good move is rather unknown.

But yeah... do it over ebay or craigslist rather then Gamestop if you choose to.

If you have a 360... i can definitly see the advantages from a Wii or DS vs the PS3 though...

As for which... once again, couldn't say depending on your tastes.

Maybe because wii games tend to get boring repetitive and ugly within the first 5 minutes. Including gameplay (ie boring)

 

Yes everything is opinion and i have a wii so i have to right to my opinion as i have experience with both machines. Do you have a ps3 ?

 

On another note, op i wouldn't sell the tripple for anything, but whatever you wanna do is up to you. You shouldn't leave a decision like that up to anyone else. Especially a bunch of system fanboys you've never met before, on a internet forum. You gotta make up your own mind. Concider what you wanna do, what you wanna play. Etc. I mean i could understand if you were asking as to "which games do i have to look forward too" ie. But the way you made your op it just seems like you can't make up your own mind and want someone else to do it for you.

I do have a PS3. Why did you ask? I just don't understand how the OP could buy a PS3 when he clearly wants to play Mario Galaxy or Twilight Princess.

 



                                   

dam i don't know what to say, i guess if you like mario and other E rated games, and using motion for controls go for it. But, in my opinion, i wouldn't do it, its not smart??? I don't know, it sounds weak, the wii. My opinion.

Maybe he also wanted to play games such as Uncharted or Metal Gear Solid 4, Heavenly sword or call of duty (although he has a 360 so the last one he could have played on that one)
