PS3 Trade-In Value

neo2010

Hi everyone,
Does anybody know the average trade-in value of a PS3 console- specifically a 40gig. I am looking to trade it in for a bigger hard drive console and was wondering has anybody traded in their PS3 lately?

Thanks in advance.:D

If you are just looking for a bigger hard drive, why not just buy a bigger HD and install it yourself.

I seem to remember people quoting that they got €200-€210 towards a new console. May have changer since then(this was around the time of slim launch).

Thanks for the info. I would replace the hard drive but I am looking to buy a limited edition bundle. Do you have to supply the original packaging when trading the console in.

I may try HMV or Xtravision as they seem to be the best value wise.

Might want to try Game and Gamestop too. Sometimes they give great prices on used consoles.
Ring them all first and then make up your mind.

I presume you mean for €102 extra on top of your trade in !!!
Thats a good price, good job.

Id say get a bigger hard drive for your current one

I was in Gamestop last week and they offered my €180 for my PS3 60 gig.

Gamestop in Henry Street gave me €190 trade-in credit for a 80 gig PS3 on Friday.

I have PS3 320gb (originally launch 60gb) would I get more for it because it has a bigger hard-drive? Or will they offer the same price?

nothing extra - they'll just give you the 60GB price as that is the machine.
Do you have the original 60GB drive? If so put that back before you trade in.

What RikD says. I was in Gamestop and they told me €180 is all they'd give me.

Anyone have any idea how much I'd get for an 80gb phat? . I'd be trading it in against a slim.

Thanks in advance!

They'll probably charge you to take it off your hands...:p
If you're lucky, they'll give you ~ €50...:o

I'd say you might get around €120 store credit, i enquired about trading in a phat psp 1st generation and I got offered €65 for it which is a good price So it is worth a try.

€50 for a system , yet €40 for something like Black Ops.

Not likely.

Thanks . €65 for the psp is very good indeed.
I've heard anything up to €180 for the phat ps3. I'll check it out next week.

I was being generous when I said €50. Best of luck though.

My son tried in two gamestops to trade in his excellent condition barely used 60gb PS3. All cables and manuals and the controller. The store credit offer was 18 Euro in both stores.

So having bought it originally for him I've now re-bought it from him. We can use it as a blueray player maybe Oh well. We both prefer XBox anyway.

I'd say that's because they're pooping themselves atm. Those and the 40GBs
