Trade-in deals - Part II

    I'm pondering and pondering and pondering... I swore a long time ago not to get multiple current-gen consoles again, and I have a (well-dusty) Wii, but in the end I still feel as I'm missing out without a 360 :(

    Has anyone here traded in a previous-gen bundle (XB1, PS2, etc.) for a next-gen bundle (XB360)?

    Can anyone tell me if gamestop, xtravision etc. still have such offers as trade a PS2 + bits against a 360 for 99 yoyos etc.?

    Would I be better off selling on adverts.ie?

    Bundle I've got to trade is a PS2 slimline fully boxed, 2 PSUs (don't ask!), 2 dual shocks, composite (+ scart adapter) and component cables, Sony dvd remote, Conflict Vietnam, Soul Calibur III, Battlefield 2 MC, Toca 3, Wipeout Fusion, Nemo, the Incredibles, Call of Duty III (all boxed with inst. and in pretty decent nick).

    What value do you reckon, for adverts and/or part-ex. @ gamestop or xtravision?

    EDIT - This is most definitely not a veiled FS thread, do not make any offers for the bundle or anything in it. It's just a thread to help me make my mind up, which at the moment is quite befuddled.

    Yeah im fairly sure gamestop and game will take old consoles, but dont expect much for them. I think the going rate for an old style ps2 is only around 40 euro, ditto for an xbox.

    Gamestop were doing a deal a while back were you got €100 off a 360 when you traded in a console with four games (DS, PS2 & PSP, offer not extended to XB).
    Ok if you have an old type PS2 lying around but a bad deal on a PSP or DS.
    Personally I'd stay away from Gamestop when it comes to trade ins and deals, go to Xtravision and put your stuff up on adverts.ie.
