Thru 4/5 Gamestop is giving $175 towards PS4 for PS3/XBox360

Post by Hush »

I was considering trading in my PS3 since I doubt I'll ever actually play it again and $175 isn't far off from what I bought it for originally ($199 black friday special). I'll probably hold onto the 360 tho for the free games with Gold.

Edit: Last day for promotion was yesterday, 4/5.

Useful. Thanks for the drop. Are you not going to get a PS3 because you have a PS4 now or something?

Got my PS3 a long time ago. Dropped $450 for it :/

Sorry, I meant, are you not going to *play* your PS3 because you have a PS4 now?

This would be a good deal if the PS4 had any games to play on it. Personally, I don't really see the appeal in "next gen" systems yet. No DLNA support? Gimme a break. Let me know when you come up with something more than a Madden with better graphics.

No, I have an Xbox One, Wii U and the gaming PC from the other thread. Getting a PS4 would allow me to play its exclusive titles. If I already had a PS4 I wouldn't need to trade in my PS3 for one.

I'm debating on whether I should keep the PS3 to play older titles/PS1 games. I could always pick one up later when the price hits sub $100.

Not a Sony fan I see. :larry:

I say keep it. ESPECIALLY if it's your only current Sony system.

I'm pretty sure it is retail price... $400.00 - $175.00 = $225.00 plus tax.

I may be wrong about this, but I think you could get the one that comes with a digital code for The Last of Us Remastered as well.

After much deliberation I've decided to hang onto my PS3 and just wait for a future price drop or deal on a PS4. As stupidregister said there isn't anything to play on it yet that I can't play on Xbone or PC. I've always regretted selling my old systems in the past as well.

If PS4 was backwards compatible it would be a no brainier for me.

Yeah, that's the other thing holding me back. If I traded in the PS3 I'd be left with a gang of games with no way to play them.

Don't think so. I'm in the "Souls games are too frustrating" camp. :owens:

What all do you need to get the credit? I'm assuming-
1 controller + cable
power cord
hdmi cable? I feel like I had to buy one

It didn't come with HDMI so you don't need that. You'll probably need the standard av cables if you still have them.

wont ever get a ps4. theyve lost their audience in my opinion. but then again im 30 and that shot at the madden games is 150% on point. now that ncaa is out of business im sure theyll be better (by purchasing talent/intellectual property etc) but not good enough justifying the purchase of a whole new system just to play some game that will NEVER be what it ought to be which is a really sweet game that gives you an awesome football-esque experience.

its just so fucking ironic. they can build the fucking zombie apocalypse game of a lifetime but they cant make a decent pro football game

You need a display cable of some kind for it to count. I gave them an hdmi cable I bought for 4 bucks off amazon.

They also took every old cell phone I had, so for 67 bucks I got the bundle w/Last of us, nba2k15, Destiny, and Bloodborne.

Looks like there's a new promotion:

$125 for PS3 or Xbox 360 toward the purchase of a new Xbox One (not sure why they dropped this promo $50 from the PS4 one, maybe because the Xbox One is already $50 less expensive than a PS4).
