You should hold on to your 360 because there will likely be a third Gears game on it. Otherwise, you should sell it if you're not happy with it anymore.

Meh. That's too far away.

And what would a new Gears offer that the first 2 didnt? The reason I am thinking of selling it NOW is because I want to sell it before a PRICE DROP, which would bring the value of a used 360 down a lot as well.

 

Also the upcoming exclusives for 360 do not interest me much at all. How much should I be asking for, if I sell it with all the games I listed?

If you sell everything with the 360.. maybe you can somewhere around $300-$400. Guessing here.

Also, invest in a gaming PC. You can play Gears 3 on that. :P

I highly doubt you will get that.

At OP:

If you seriously don't play the console and dont feel you will play it substantially ever again, sell it.

1. But to be completely honest, I think this is a troll post designed to further your argument as too why the PS3 is supposedely better than Microsoft's machine. From the games you listed it seems you have gotten an enormous amount of playtime from the console, and you havent even started to look at the Xbox 360's AWESOME (and now cheap) line-up of RPG's.

2. By any objective standard, the Xbox 360 has a better library than the PS3, and it will get all the games the Ps3 gets, plus a bunch of exclusives Microsoft will make/pay for. The PS3 is unlikely to do much to surprise you ever though. Sony doesn't have the money to pay for exclusives anymore, meaning everything you will see is the first party stuff we all know about.

 

 

1. You are honestly WRONG. I also stated that I do not like RPG's...so ME and Fable are no interest to me at all. I also posted my Gears 1 vs Gears 2 thoughts last night incase you really doubt that I own a 360.

 

2. You say that as if it's no big deal. When in reality, Sony has way better exclusives in my favorite genres, and the best "first party stuff" coming up in a long, long time.

MGS4, KillZone2, LittleBigPlanet, inFAMOUS, Uncharted, Uncharted 2, God of War III, Gran Turismo 5, Resistance 1 and 2, Ratchet and Clank Future, Ratchet and Clank Future: Crack in Time, M.A.G, Heavy Rain, etc.

Xbox 360 will never see any of those games. It's actually the opposite. Any "exclusive" that 360 has, eventually comes out on Ps3. Think - Ninja Gaiden 2 (Ps3 gets an updated, better version) and BioShock.

 

So what exclusives does 360 really have? 

 

Crackdown? InFAMOUS looks much better, and has gotten better reviews.

Dead Rising? Played it. Meh. Dead Rising 2 will soon be out on Ps3.

Left 4 Dead? - Was fun for awhile. I beat 2 of the levels and then lost interest in it.

Lost Planet 2? Not confirmed as an exclusive. At most, this will be a timed exclusive that I can certainly wait for while playing through the plethora of top notch Ps3 exclusives.

Gears 3? Already played the first two... another sequel wont offer anything worth keeping the entire system for.

UGH! I did not enjoy Ninja Blade AT ALL. The corny character design...the lame levels and story. I was actually very disappointed in MS for even publishing this game.

Atleast with Sony exclusives I know it's garaunteed to be atleast a 8/10 almost every time. Ninja Blade was like a 6/10..and so was Halo Wars.

Wow. Speaking of trolling. lol

But I guess I and many others aren't very objective then. The xbox exclusive list is very little to get excited about imo, exspecially this year. I have not bought one single 360 game this entire year. At least the PS3 got Killzone 2 which was amazing. But there is also Infamous this month and the promise of Uncharted 2, Heavy Rain, Ratchet and Clank: A crack in time, MAG, DC universe online, GT5, God of War etc. coming, many of those this year even. But I'm sure your right, the ps3 has absolutely nothing to offer and objectively the 360 lineup is better in every way shape and form.

I'm sorry, but where did I say the bolded?  Or anything close too it?  I own a PS3, I play it.  Not as much as my Xbox 360, but I play it nonetheless.

Take a look at Metacritic or Gamerankings.  You may not like them (PS3 fans traditionally dont), but they are as close to objective as any measure we have.  Of course, if you want to examine the last five months, I'm sure the PS3 does beat the Xbox 360.  Just as there are half a dozen few month periods from the two years before where the Xbox 360 no doubt beat the PS3. 

Most consumers dont limit themselves to playing just the games from the last few months though.

Someone posting a decent reason to convince me to keep it?

 

Instead I get some donkey trying to tell me 360 is getting all the games Ps3 has, and some special kid telling me to jump off a bridge because he thinks I hate the 360 (even though I never said or implied that I hate it). LOL

I've thought about selling both my 360 and wii before. But then I think of the possibility of games in the future I could be missing out on and I don't really need the money. I rarely do play either of those consoles, but there is always the future. I definately want to cancel my xbox live subscription though but it's bs that I have to call them and sit on the phone for the hour just to cancel my subrscription.

 

Haha yeah it will take a long time before you can cancel your XBL account.  Believe me it took a long time to cancel mine.  They will ask you a lot of dumb questions.  An arab speaking person was talking to me.  Didn't really know what his language was but I barely understood what he was saying but I knew he didn't want me to cancel my XBL.  He tried to get me to stay by offering a free 1 month of XBL but I declined.  My account is canceled but when I went to the xbox site it still have my gamer tag on it lol.  Why is that?

Also...if anyone doubts that I own a 360...feel free to msg me and I will give you my gamertag and be more than happy to own you in Street Fighter IV on XBL.

if you want to sell it why ask why you should keep it, your selling it regardless anyway..

And why make this topic to begin with if you made up your mind....sell it who cares .

I do play alot with my 360 and guess what, nobody cares if I do or I dont , if i want to sell it or not..

@ Solid_Raiden
2009 definitely seems like the year of the PS3. But Sony is struggling right now so they have to pump out games fast so people take interest in the console.


MS is sitting back and still winning the war. I think 2010 will be a much better year for 360 exclusives. But don't forget ODST is coming this year. That's bigger than any Sony game for 2009.
