So who is keeping there xbox360/PS3 after PS4 or Xbox One releases?

[xcrimsonstormx]

Is it worth keeping or should I let my 360 and PS3 go for now while there still worth something? Or should I hang on to them maybe for collectible value 20-30 years down the road?

Well if you want to play PS3/360 games...

The PS4 and XBone are x86 and won't.

 

[ilman]

Pfft, I'm still keeping my PS2 after the PS4 is released. (Don't have money for PC master race and consoles at the same time.)

 

[Bonny]

I keep nearly any console, cause i'am collecting them. And of course, i need them if i ever want to play older titles.

 

[T-hug]

I'm still undecided but I will keep my PS3 until March-May 2014 as I'll be playing Dark Souls 2. Then I'll either trade it in or give it to my son.
I'd probably get some decent credit for a 500gb PS3 Super Slim.

I sold a handful of SNES games back in 1992. Later, I regretted it so much, I decided to never sell any of my video game items again.

 

[weavile001]

i´ll probably keep my PS3, there are some games like lightning returns and dark souls 2 that i want to play.

 

[Tom Bombadildo]

I won't get rid of my PS3/360 until there are fully playable emulators for both of them. Seeing how that won't be anytime soon, they'll stay at home for a while.

 

[retKHAAAN]

I will keep my 360 indefinitely. I have too much digital content to ever want to give it up.

 

[jargus]

I keep all my consoles. I still my have Gamecube, DS GBA, and I'll keep my Wii after getting my U.

 

[DinohScene]

I always keep me consoles and games.

 

[BlackWizzard17]

I keep my old console unless I need to sell it for money to get the new one( and because it's backwards compatible). But some people think that's its still the 1980's were if a new console is out you have to get it because it's better in every way.

 

[emmanu888]

I'll keep my PS3 till it YLOD on me, hell i still even got a PS1 and a PS2 !

 

[calmwaters]

Never sell any of your games or consoles unless you're sure it's what you want. I traded five games into Gamestop and I've felt awful ever since. That piece of shit has a portion of my game collection that I'll never get back

 

[xcrimsonstormx]

So is it just sentimental value that your keeping them or are you going to eventually sell them with the plan to turn a profit?

 

[Chary]

There are many people who are keeping their 360/PS3, because they're fans of backwards compatibility.

 

[Hells Malice]

You strapped for cash or something? There's absolutely no point selling your old hardware unless you need the money, and if you plan on spending it on a PS4/Xbone then you'd be an idiot since the 360/PS3 have a massive library that neither of those consoles can touch, all they'll have is crappy launch titles for full price.

Willingly trades in games > cries that gamestop is shit
Logic.
No one has it.

I'm keeping my PS3 until it dies. PS4 looks like ass so far, only Kingdom Hearts 3 looks even remotely interesting.

 

[Gahars]

The lack of backwards compatibility in the next gen machines makes it a no-brainer, especially with the PS4/PS3. If you subscribe to PS+, you're going to get free games on both systems. That's a hard deal to pass up.

Selling your current gen machine now is a pretty shortsighted move, especially since the next gen consoles won't be worth purchasing for another 6-12 months, at least.

But I've grown since then. I debated with myself for weeks trying to come up with a good reason for trading in my games. The only good thing I got out of this was a brand new copy of Thor for $3 dollars. It was the only good thing that ever happened to me.
