Worth it?; What do you think?

O.K. I really would like to play MGS4 is my main point, but I have only $20 bucks and no job and I can't even get one. So I'd be willing sell my PS2 and Gamecube with most of my games to try and raise money for a PS3 and MGS4 at a game shop.

Here is what I'm looking at so far. The gamestop in my town has a 40GB PS3 for $349.99 and MGS4 is $59.99, add it up and a sum total of $409.89, but take off $20 bucks and I would have to pay $389.98. Is it worth it?

If you think it is I have some questions.
#1. Can I even sell the systems?
#2. If so how much do you think I'd get for my Gamecube and PS2?(GC I have two controllers and 3 for PS2/w all wires)
#3. How much do you think I'll get for 23 games?( Should I post the names of the games?)
#4. I get more on credit right?
#5. Sell memory cards too?

Thanks for the help.

For the games,you should definetly sell on amazon or Ebay because you hardly get anything in game stores.As for the rest Im not sure.

you're pretty good
You can 'trade in' your consoles in England, you don't get much though so i would of thought you can where you are too, have a look in the store to see if they sell pre-owned consoles or ask them, if they do see how much they'd give you and make a note.

not sure how much you'd get for the games, depends on the age and condition

and yeah you get more when you trade in for credit, they rip you off if you want cash so bear that in mind.

hope you get sorted

Gamecubes run for like $12 these days. PS2 with a memory card and two controllers will get you $80.

Never sell your games/consoles to a game store, they rip you off hardcore! I'd try selling them on Ebay/Half.com or even Amazon. You could definitely get a lot more money that way. Gamestop blows if you ask me. But the Wal-Mart where I live has the MGS4/PS3 bundle for a great price. And Wal-Marts don't charge anywhere near the tax that a Shitstop would.

Yeah what these game stores do is practically exstortion. For example a friend of mine Traded in MGS2:Substance,now by todays standards you wouldnt find many copies of it on the market considering a lot of people class it as a rare game and he only got £1 store credit :-/

Another example was when I went to trade in Fight Night Round 2 for PS2.I would have gotten around 75p in gamestation for store credit so instead I sold it on amazon and got paid £4.56 for it.

So the lesson: you wanna make money for a PS3 by selling your games and gaming hardware? sell em' at Ebay or Amazon.

I concur with the above statements.

Other than that, get a job and you'd probably be able to afford it in about 4 weeks.

Yeah, you aren't going to come up with almost $400 selling a GameCube and a PS2.

You could whore yourself out to 40 fat chicks for 10 bucks.

I'm basically going to just save up now and when I have enough for the game I'm going to buy it (Why not? At least I can tell people I own it) Now I have $40. And once I do that I'll need only the $349.99.
