Hi,
Guys, i need your expert opinion urgently..
I recently got a Xbox 360 from a grey market dealer with a host of games like GeOW 1 & 2, Ninja Gaiden II, Fable 2, Mass Effect, DOA 4, Assassin's Creed, POP etc... But while playing, i seriously didn't enjoy most of them ( apart from Ninja Gaiden..) .. Firstly because most of them are already available for the PC which used to be my primary gaming hub until i decided to invest in a console ( like a week back..).. What i have noticed is that the Xbox games are generally out for the PC market within 6 months to an year of their launching, leaving me perplexed & looking for a reason to keep this console.. Secondly, the trouble is that i prefer playing FPSs on the PC rather than on any console ( really cant seem to get the hang of them.. but again, Xbox's controller is a natural.. really liked it.. enjoyed GeOW on it..).. I prefer playing Platformers, puzzlers & adventure ( with the exception of TR series..) genres & would rather like to play games which won't be out for the PC ( like LBP, GOW etc..).. this set me in the direction of hunting for a PS3.. Lucky me, i am getting a second hand PS3 from the same grey market dealer.. also he agreed to exchange my 360 for it.. But the trouble is that :
a) The PS3's 2nd hand..
b) Was previously being used in a gaming center & got it's lens conked out..& therefore, it's lens has been changed.. mind you, it was bought from the grey market itself ( so no Sony warranty..)
Other than that, it isn't having any problems..
Now, i got the 60 GB Xbox Pro for 22500 + roughly 2.5k for some 15 games..
I am getting the PS3 for 14k.. it is the * old * 80 GB version ( having software emulation for PS2 games.. + * old * Six-axis controller..)..
So i have roughly around 11k in hand for DS3 controller + some games.. planning to get Heavenly Sword, Uncharted, LBP & MGS..
DS3 is costing me around 2.5k ( grey market rate..)..
So guys, what do you think.. Is this deal ok.. Or do i have any reasons for keeping my 3 day old 360..??
( BTW, the grey market dealer is reliable.. i have known for over 2 years & bought my PS2, PSP & Wii from him...)
Ohh.. please reply fast.. i have less than 24 hrs. for this deal to be fixed.. TIA...
 
No...

Dont do it...

sell the 360 in market section...get yourself the rest 14k... thast is u have 11k in hand...and buy a new 80GB.. and then buy more games when u got the cash....

and the one you are saying is 60 GB not 80.....

I guess u have misunderstood me... What i meant is that i got the console for 22.5+2.5 = 25k.. now he is selling me the PS3 console for 14k + i have got 11k left with him...
Anyways, approx. what price can i expect for any 3 day old 360..???
* MINT * condition..
 
Which version PAL or NTSC

Also which one... falcon , jesper?

I am looking for Xbox360...if u want to sell :P

i seriously don't think 3 days is enough to judge a console. how many games could you have tried on it? how many hours could you have spent on it? not going to start a 360 v/s ps3 debate here but you seriously aren't giving the console enough time imo. as for the pc getting all 360 games, that's not always true and more and more the trend is to give the pc a lousy port of the 360 game.
 
well i too had an XBOX for quite some time before i planned to sell it off.....but i would seriously suggest that you spend some more time on the XBOX before you make up your mind.......
 
I have had my xbox for over a month now, started with fable 2 really liked it and now Im moving to Fallout 3. Will recommend you to keep your xbox. There wont be any new consoles for atleast 2yrs. Im sure your PC will need an upgradge to play 2009 games.
 
i wud recommend u to stick to xbox for 10 more days. If u get sick of it, buy a gud graphics card for ur pc n a usb controller... a hd4870 and a xbox360 controller
