Wanted your advice, gaming forum! My PS3....my very beloved PS3....got the yellow light of death a few months back, and I had to sell it for parts I had a xbox 360, used primarily for kinnect...that I dusted off and started using for my gaming needs. Well....I want a ps4....and I want madden....but I love playing GTAV. What do you think I could get for a xbox 360, tons of gigs left, 2 controllers, gtav, portal 2, COD ghosts traded in for PS4 and madden when it comes out? I am a power plus member at gamestop. Would it be better to sell everything for cash? I hear rumors GTAV is coming out this fall for the new systems. What would you do?
GameStop is always sending me email specials -often including a bonus percentage for trading in old consoles. You should wait until they offer an extra 40% or more to get the most out of your 360 trade-in. That said, as a PS4 owner there is not THAT much to get excited about game-wise at the moment. I have Madden and Infamous Second Son as my only games. There are several games I will buy later this year (The PS4 version of Last of Us, Watchdogs, Destiny, maybe Madden) but the game library for the XboxOne and PS4 are pretty small right now. I have not heard about a PS4 port of GTAV, but it sounds like you should wait until it is confirmed before trading in that 360. Or at least wait until late this year so you have more game buying options when you get a PS4. Not that I regret getting a PS4 at launch, I was just really eager for nextgen consoles after the long run of the 360/PS3. BTW, the PS4 is actually the first Sony console I have owned since the original PSX. I went from that to a Dreamcast, then Xbox, then a 360. I hated most everything MS had planned for the XboxOne, so I jumped ship to Sony and the PS4.
This. Get the PS4 and Watch Dogs to tide you over until Madden/GTA comes out.... or just snap your tallywhacka to internet porn until then....
Target is offering triple trade in value for games this week: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/topic/330760-triple-game-trade-in-value-target-518-524/ Might as well offload all your 360 games. You will get $42 for GTAV, almost $12 for Portal 2, and $15 for COD Ghosts. That's enough for madden at the very least.
I don't know that the tradein in worth much of anything. I'm planning on getting a PS4 for Madden and Dragon Age 3. I only have one tv right now, but my wife and I will likely get a second one this winter, and the PS3 will become the blue ray/dvd player on that one, and I'll be able to game sometimes if my kids are watching shows on the main TV in the future.
