Guideline on how much to sell 360 for..

Basq

Bought a PS3 this morning.. and may sell my XBox 360, but I have no idea how much to sell it for (mainly because of equipment like drums, guitar in Rock Band and Guitar Hero etc).

Basically have a 20GB Premium 360 model that's a year old (so just out of warranty) and have had no RROD on it. And the following games:

Condemned
Def Jam: Icon
Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend
Dead Rising
Forza Motorsport 2
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter
Tenchu Z
Flatout: Ultimate Carnage
Perfect Dark Zero Limited Collector's Edition
Halo 3
Project Gotham Racing 3
Viva Pinata
Table Tennis
Skate
Grand Theft Auto IV
Guitar Hero 2
Guitar Hero 3 (and guitar)
Rock Band (and drums)
Scene It

All in very good or great condition.. in fact, some are still wrapped! And have 8 - 10 games Arcade games on HDD. Also have 2 controllers and a HD VGA cable.

Really have no idea how much to sell it for.. so any suggestions are appreciated.

Unless you have a decent spec PC for running games I'd hold onto the 360 so that you can play games that don't come out on PS3. Just my 2 cents though.

Also, with 360s so cheap at the moment you won't get a great price (read worthwhile price) for it. If you want to get some cash you'd probably get more sellling Guitar Hero 2, Guitar Hero 3 (and guitar), Rock Band (and drums) & Scene It than you would for the 360 and the other games combined.

Basq

Cheers for that savemejebus.. not sure what to do yet.

Really don't need the 2 consoles.. but if I can't get a worthwhile price for the 360, I probably won't bother alright.

There is also the possibility that you'll hate the PS3 as a console and only use it as a blu-ray player:eek:

That's true..

To be honest, I only really bought it for it's Blu-Ray capabilities. I mean you'd be hard pushed to find a Blu-Ray player for €299 (which is what I paid for the PS3).

alot of the games are old enough, I'd ask for €450-€500

Basq

Cheers man.

I'll consider it but to be honest, I'll have to find someone locally to buy it if I do sell it cos I'm not packaging up drums and guitars to send off around the country!

Massively optimistic price there. The new 60GB SKU is 240euro as is so there's no way he's getting near that with the older model, which everyone seems to think is a ticking time bomb of RROD. I just offered (again) my 20GB Xbox for 100 euro to a friend and I doubt he'll take it, the cheap fecker. As said above, most of the games are old enough and the only thing that may catch peoples attention are Guitar hero games and you'd be doing seriously well to sell them all for 350euro plus.

If it were me, I'd hold on to the 360 and use it as my main gaming system and the PS3 for it's exclusives and Blu-ray.

+1 for that

I used to own a PS3 and apart from two games i literally never used it (apart from Blu-ray of course)

Imo, you would regret selling the 360, sell the games you are bored with, fair enough, but rememeber the majority of games that are multi-platform always tend to perform better on the 360. In addition, the 360 has more exclusive titles coming out than the PS3. Just my two cents!

Basq

Sound lads.. will probably hold onto the 360 after all so.

Just need to clear some space for it.. need to buy a big ol' DVD shelf as I have a couple of large boxsets (X Files, House, Futurama, Seinfeld) taking the entire bottom level of my TV stand.

Yep, I say keep the 360. As a games platform, its fantastic. I've had mine over a year now, and since I got it -

- I sold my Freecom Media player (streaming on the 360 is almost flawless)
- I sold my Wii (not enough good titles coming out to justify keeping it - I was playing the 360 more)
- The games on the 360 are excellent, and we're smack back in the middle of a bumper game period right now.

If you're a serious gamer keep the two of them.

There are some seriously sexy exclusive games coming out for both in the coming weeks so you don't want to lose out!

Yeah, find the 360 great for streaming.. bar any pre DivX 4 videos.

Sold my Wii last year for the exact same reason.

That's true... I keep hearing more and more about LittleBigPlanet. And even though reading about it on Wikipedia, I cannot fathom what it's actually about!

Still, can't disagree with the Metacritic rating

LBA is the sole reason (edit Blu-ray as well) I spent ten minutes carrying round the PS3 box around Tesco this morning, like you, I've no idea what exactly it is. It looks stunning though. Besides that, there's no other game on the PS3 i'm interested in and the Xbox outperforms the PS3 on cross platform games.

Same as that, hearing great things but not sure what you do in it!

I was thinking more of Gears of War 2, Fable 2, Resistance 2, Killzone 2. Anything with a "2" in the title basically!

The ps3 actually has a nice selection of games now- check out uncharted, ratchet and clank, resistance, all around the €20 mark on Play - and as the PS3 becomes the lead development platform for games the cross platform games are finally on a par (or in the case of burnout paradise) outpacing the 360.

BTW PC world and currys are selling off some PS3 games for under a tenner at the minute.

Uncharted: brilliant
Ratchet & Clank: very good
Resistance: absolute drivel! bored me to tears.

kindof like the halo series for me then

edit: basquille, I didn't see crackdown on your games list for the 360. If you haven't played it you shouldn't sell the 360, fantastically fun game

I played through Halo 3, didn't really enjoy that too much either.... Call Of Duty 4 & Rainbow Six Vegas are far better imo...

savemejebus

Agreed, Rainbow Six Vegas is fantastic. In single player it's better than COD4 imo. but we're getting off topic.

I agree! Halo is boring, and Crackdown is excellent (and only about €20 in most places now).

Also agree.. Crackdown is one of my favourite games for the 360.

Would be interested in the VGA cable and Table Tennis if you split!;)
