I bought a PS3 to use at my mother's house a while back. Thing is, there is a PS3 at my dad's house (but he watches movies on it A LOT, so taking it over to my mom's house whenever I stayed there wasn't in the cards). Bought it with my own money so inb4spoiled

Anyway, I'm considering getting a 360 again (I sold my old one). Since I already have the PS3 at my dad's house, I'd sell the one at my mom's house (along with its accessories, and some games). I'd keep the games I like to play on PS3 obviously, and I'd also be able to get 360 exclusives. I could also do shit like get RB2 on the 360 and GHWT on the PS3 (or vice versa).

What should I ask for (eBay) considering:
40GB PS3, excellent condition
Two controllers (one SIXAXIS, one DS3)
R6 Vegas 2
BF Bad Company (I'd get it on 360, since none of my RL friends have it on PS3)
GTA4 (see above)
Skate

I'd be looking at at 20GB 360, a wifi adapter, BF:BC, and GTA4. $520 :3 Although I'd try and bargain hunt for a wifi adapter. Unfortunately, the only e-mail I can think of for my old XBL account doesn't seem to work, but that gold subscription was about to expire anyway. I can just use the free month by putting a Gamertag onto my current e-mail >.>

So what do you think?

I'd still have a PS3. And I have friends (both online and real life) whom I'd like to play with that only have a 360. And there are some 360 exclusives I would like.

edit: How much should I charge for all my shit tbh? I'd like to say something like $520...

I totally convinced you to do this, and it's a great idea. Then you can be like me, and we can have both consoles.

Put it at a starting price of $375 with a reserve of $475.

Btw, get RB2 on the 360, so we can sex it up on Online World Tour.

If you're unsure on what your starting price should be, look on ebay at the current auctions. The market will show you what the current value is.

Should I have free shipping? Shit's expensive these days... maybe I should incorporate it into the price if I do free shipping? As poseidon puts it, "gullible faggots" will fall for it.

Free shipping is good, but restrict your shipping to the contiguous 48 states so you don't get teh rape on shipping charges to Hawaii or Alaska.

*oh, and since it is a high demand item, make sure you only ship to paypal confirmed addresses to avoid problems.

Poseidon: say that if they buy it now
Poseidon: you'll offer free shipping
Poseidon: or it gets above x price

What about that?

Ya, that works well too. You just have to find the sweet spot for the "buy it now" price. High enough that you're happy, and low enough that hopefully someone will nab it.

I luv ebay.

You must harder than a mexican to afford two ps3's sounds like a good idea best of both worlds. Let us know if you need some help to bump the price up for you!

I'm seriously considering getting a ps3 for the sole purpose of playing Metal Gear Solid 4. What decent games are already out for it and upcoming? Oh yeah is blu-ray the shiznit?

If you have no reserve you get less charges or something don't you? Well if that needs doing let people know by pm to save people being gay and messing up your auction.

Meh it's no hijack just a few innocent questions whilst still relevant to HurriJew's op. What better person to ask about the console than one with two-

If you have lots of RL friends, which I'm sure you do(or at least some), then I think you find the online of the 360 better than the PS3.
If you like hard core gameing, keep your PS3 at your mom's.
If you like wagglan, wavan fun, get a Wii

You've answered your first question.

For your second, see how much they close out for on eBay and see if you can bundle it.

For the third unasked, yes. Fable 2 is going to own.
