Sold PS3?

[Kor-ray]

Has anyone sold their PS3 recently? I have a fat PS3 from god knows when. but has anyone recently sold theirs and if so for how much? where? I feel like I am done with video games and it might just be best to buy a decent blu-ray player. cant keep, keeping up with the joneses :P

I still have my Chubby B**** though I have thought about selling it for a profit since it's the backward PS2/1 60GB model. Right now it's been nestled in a box for quite some time. I did sell a 120GB PS3 to my father for Netflix playback but he now uses a Sony BD player instead because of Harmony remote issues with his set-up.

I don't think ill part with the 60GB

I still have many PS3 games to import and buy domestically for me to part with mine.

[sukraj]

I will not part with mine.

I used my Ps3 as a Blu Ray player... back in 2006 when other Blu Ray players cost $800 and up.

It's been forever since I used the Ps3 as a Blu Ray Player. I skip the Oppo's and go with Sony BDP's but that's preference.



Either way,... I have read it's about the worst possible time to sell a Ps3. A lot of people are trading in PS3's to get PS4. So,... a couple months ago you would have done better.

Either way,... I wouldn't even waste time selling my PS3... If I was really "done" I would still keep it ... not worth selling for $100 if you ask me.

The more I read about PS4,... the more interested I am in my Ps3.

My PS4 will join my PS3 side by side in my media tower.

I sold both of my PS3s a couple of weeks ago. There's no turning back now.

I wonder why that would be, since the PS4 isn't backward compatible. The amount of games available for the PS4 is going to be very limited for a while yet. Are there that many gamers who just play the very latest games and nothing else?

The only way I'll sell my PS3 (ever) is if they updated all my favorite games from the Uncharted, Batman, and other franchises for the PS4 - with physical discs, not downloads - or the PS4 is so phenomenally better than the PS3 that playing PS3 games feel like watching a movie on vhs. So, I currently expect to keep my PS3 at least until the PS5 comes out.

I agree with bhampton, trading it in right now probably isn't the best time to do so. (I work at gamestop) But if you were going to trade it in, I would do it sooner than later. The longer you wait, the more PS3's trade in value will go down due to all the PS3's being traded in. However, flat out selling it to someone/somewhere, would be the best option for you. While the PS4 is going to be HOT, whenever a new system comes out, people look for the old one due to price drops. Not to mention, if it's a fat PS3 with backwards compatibility, you could get more $ for that than a PS3 that's not backwards compatible.

I would say start by posting it on facebook (if you have an account) that you're selling it. Then move on from there, craigslist, ebay, etc...Sell it as a bundle with everything because you'll definitely get more compared to just selling the system itself. New ones are going for $300/$250 right now. As a bundle, I'd say $200 would be a great offer, depending on how many games you have. If you have a lot of games, or accessories, you can try selling it for $250. I recently sold my Wii U for $250 with the classic controller and 3 games.

I got a sweet deal when Assassin's Creed 3 came out. I had the old fat 60gb PS3. I traded it in towards the new super slim 500gb system bundle with AC3. I already had purchased AC3 so I sold the extra copy of AC3 to a friend for $50. After the trade in and the selling of the game, the upgrade from the 60gb fat to the 500gb super slim was only $50!!!

Maybe I'm missing something.

I get that it's not a good time to get credit for your PS3 & an all that right now. PS4 is sold out. So if you trade in without any pre-order, what will you be gaming on till January? Sure if ya gots a pre-order I can't see the harm but testing your luck with crowds surrounding stores that haven't yet received their next shipment isn't something I'd wanna do. We got sum brave souls out there.

The only way I will be parted from my PS3 is if / when it dies on me.

I'am not in the slightest bit interested in PS4.
