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?

 

LOL!!! When I called Xbox support to complain about their MS Points card not working in Canada, I got the same thing. A weird Arab--French accent..and I could barely understand a word he was saying. I talked to about 3 or 4 ppl from their customer service and they all had the same weird accent. Couldnt pinpoint exactly what it was...French...Arab..?? A combination of both?

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.

I didn't say I doubted you owned a 360, just that I doubt the intentions behind this thread.  As someone that doesn't like RPG's, I can certainly see why the PS3 would appeal to you.

That said, all you will see from the PS3 with the odd minor exception here and there is their first party lineup.  If you're happy enough with Rachet, God of War, GT and Uncharted that you will never want to play the Xbox 360 exclusives, sell your machine. 

A few quick notes though:

- It is looking increasingly likely that MGS4 WILL come to the Xbox 360, losing the PS3 the last great third party exclusive it had.

- Crackdown was awesome, and is by all accounts longer than Infamous.  It also is likely based on rumours that a second is in the works.  In the same vein, APB is coming, which has been described as GTA on crack.  I think it will be better than both Infamous AND Crackdown.

- Uncharted has an equal and greater counterpoint in Mass Effect.  I know you say you dont like RPG's, but this one is shooting based and highly accessible.

- Heavy Rain looks awesome in my opinion, one of the reasons I bought a PS3.  But Alan Wake is from Remedy, and is liable to be as good or better.

- MAG is liable to be like Warhawk.  Not bad, but not what its cracked up to be.

- GT5 looks to be easily matched by Forza Motorsport 3.

- And this is without looking at Halo, the extra content Microsoft buys for their games, the extra games Microsoft buys (E3?), future Gears games yes.  But I admit, as the Xbox 360 owns the other two consoles in RPG's, not liking them removes a reason for you to own a console.

If anyone is a special kid here its you from you last threads anyone with half a brain can figure out that you are in love with/ obsessed with the PS3 you are already ranting and raving about games that are nowhere close to being released yet.

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.

 

I will own you on PSN when you get the PS3 version. But wait, don't forget about too human. Have you tried that? And I heard Alan Wake will be good if it comes out.

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.

IDK, but that sounds pretty close. Suggesting that everything that comes to the ps3 will also come to the 360 (which is untrue) is the same thing as saying the ps3 has nothing to offer. No games that aren't on 360 = nothing to offer that you can't get on another console. Of course that's just all untrue trolling fanboy masterbation, but expected from you.

Personally, the ps3 exclusives have been better on the ps3 since the beginning of last year. Notice how many sites awarded the ps3 the best library of 2008? And that has certainly carried over to this year and up to now looks like it will continue to be this way through 2009 barring any huge releases revealed at e3. 360 fans say the PS3 is stuck in the past when ps3 fans say the ps3 has sold more units in the same point in their lifespans. Well, 360 fans are stuck in the past with exclusives. Your trying to combat future games with past ones? Who cares about the past? And multiple titles that are 90+ 360 on metacritc are also on ps3 under 90 but the games are still available. How many more exclusive AAA games does the 360 have compared to the PS3?

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.

What do you mean "bigger"??? Are you talking about sales? Because I could care less about sales. Wii is the only console I dont own this gen, and it's kicking ass in sales.

 

ODST is just another FPS. Give me inFAMOUS, Uncharted 2, God of War III, over another FPS.

you should sell your system. are you even playing it any,ore?

- GT5 looks to be easily matched by Forza Motorsport 3.

Please stop saying this.

To a true car enthusiast...No. It's not "easily matched" by Forza. I got Forza 2 with a bundle back when I bought 360 in 2007. It's a great game....but IT IS NOT GRAN TURISMO.

 

That would be like Sony fans saying "Gears of War will be easily matched by Quantum Theory". No matter what, Forza will always be GT's little brother.

Are you asking for the number right now or a rhetorical question for the future line-up?
