    Selling my PS3...

    No, not because MLB 2k7 is horrible. But because it has made me realize how little value video games hold for me anymore.

    Is 2k7 good? Maybe...but not good enough to justify how much money I spent on the PS3 (nor is any other game!)

    I bought my PS3 on a whim, told my buddy that if he didn't say it was a bad idea, I'd do it, throw it on the ol' credit card. So I did. $800 bucks for the system, 2 games and extra controller.

    I have barely played the thing, mainly due to general disinterest in video games. I'm 25, I'd much rather put my money towards more useful gadgets, living life, etc.

    So, the main thing I want out of this thread is, how much money do you think I should ask for it? I have the $600 model, and 3 games (NBA 2k7, Madden, and MLB 2k7). I was thinking asking $550 for it. That is quite a discount given the overall value of the package. Just wanted some opinions.

    I would post this at the console thread. You will get better support there.

        i know you only want console-selling info, but have you thought about MLB-07 The Show? the ps2 last year was the best baseball game available, and i for one have high hopes that it'll knock the dust off my ps3.

        to Focus.... gears of war is the truth, brutha!! don't be shy to crack it open!

                ... shoot, I'm 35 and still love 'em.

                I hear you though, I had that feeling about the psp when I bought it, took it back before I couldn't for a full refund.

                Check ebay for the going price on your model.
