Sell it on ebay, craigslist or amazon. Definitely not gamestop

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.

 

 Yeah because all the Wii has are E rated games and Mario. there si more to the library than that.

I'm actually thinking the same thing as the op. I'll probably going to sell my ps3 and buy a 360 instead. Since mgs4 all the games that I really wanted are either going to the 360 or the wii. I already have a wii so I'll probably get a 360. Better sell it now before it's value goes down.

I wouldn't, there are too many awesome games coming out.

Nice choice dude.

Make sure you sell your ps3 on craiglist or ebay. Try craigslist first so you don't have to pay shipping.

When you get your wii pm me on here and I'll add you on dr mario or smash if you get them!

If you are going to sell it, please, do everyone a favor and don't do it at Gamestop unless they have a sick trade-in deal.

And there is no reason to drop the PS3, you are going to lose way more than you will gain. Just pick up a Wii by itself. They aren't that expensive.

Do whatever makes you happy. But if selling your PS3 makes you happy, don't do it at GameStop... biggest rip-company in America Sell it on eBay or something and actually get a little money for it.

your are selling your PS3 to get another console in hopes of exclusivity line?so next year when PS3 starts sell better ,you will sell that console and buy PS3 again?

sales of the console should not affect your gaming experience especially with the PS3 line up.

If you do anything on selling a game or a console. Sell on ebay. I'm learning this way the hard way rather than listening to the advice not only from this thread but from my peeps around me that I socialize with at work.

Being able to sell on ebay or craiglist gives you more profit and a actual price your looking for, rather than giving it to Gamestop for a small profit and they then resale your console at a higher cost.

Stupid if you ask me, so just either sale it on ebay. I think you would actually get $180 in trade in value. Not much bra, so go ebay if your selling it.

1) There is no such thing as an "exclusivity line" and if there was, it would be perhaps a 50 million lead over 2nd place. The Wii is nowhere near. The developers acknowledge that the Wii frankly sucks at some genres, the PS360 will never lose games to the Wii.

2) I strongly advise you don't, but if "Killzone 2, God of War III, Heavy Rain, GT5, MGS4, LBP, R2, VC" (for a full list, look in Makingmusic's thread in the Sony forum) does nothing for you, then you might want to consider trading it in.
