Running video games (and consoles) thread

Oh I'm sure I'll be plunking down money for the PS4. Gotta have the new stuff!

 

So I picked up MLB 2K13 today. Only spent $25 after some trade-ins, so I won't be as disappointed in the game if I had spent the whole $60. Hopefully it's an upgrade over last year.

 

I read where they took out the online league option. Also saw there was no demo. So 2K pretty much half assed it, it seems.

 

Shocking post of the day: Two things -- at least that I've noticed so far -- have changed in MLB 2K13: The Astros are in the AL and have their correct uniforms, and the commentary seems to be a lot better than last year.

Presentation and setup and all that is pretty much the same.

 

I'm thinking about switching back to Sony and getting a PS3. As I just told TD, I want to play a good baseball game instead of the crapfest 2K13 is. I figure I can trade my 360 and every game I have, which should cover a big chunk of the cost for the PS3.

Any thoughts or tips?

 

It's about time

 

How much do you think you can get for your 360?
Gamestop is selling used 360s between $100 and $200. Odds are you can only get $50-100 for the system.


The only reason I would get a PS3 would be to play The Show.

Have you thought about getting a PSP or a PS Vita and keeping the 360? That would allow you to play The Show and play other games on the 360.

 

Unless you have 3,000 games, you're looking at no more than a buck or two, at most, per game.

 

It's not that bad, except for years old copies of Madden or something, but yeah, you won't be getting much for games, KY. Trading them in for GameStop store credit would up the value some though.

 

You could also try eBay.

 

You'd be better off selling them at a yard sale than going to GameStop, et al.

 

I talked to a buddy of mine who works at GameStop and he told me I'd get $130-150 for the console because its one of the newer models. If get $30 for NBA 2K13, $20-something for MLB 2K13, $30 for WWE 13 and $25 for NCAA 13.

So roughly $230 for everything. The system I was looking at is 120gb refurbished for $220.
