They are fantastically in good shape and work well. No problems. The PS1 and PS2 games work.

Do I keep them or give them away?? I hate the idea of throwing them out in the dumpster when there is nothing wrong.

you can send them to me if you don't want them lol, i spend half my life playing games, i'd be livid if someone in my house threw out anything games related.

WTF don't throw those away if you don't want them anymore sell them, BUT NOT TO GAMESTOP!!!! They're a fucking rip-off trust me.

i'm keeping my PS2 until they decide to quit making games for it altogether...and even then, i'll keep my PS2 until something comes out that i REEEEALLLY want to play, then i'll break down and get a PS3. you can play PS2 games on the PS3, right?

I still have the NES and never gonna give it up.

Anxiety said:

You can only play old playstation games on the PS3 if it's a backwards compatible model, and they're not easy to come across these days, they took out the emulator chip inside most models to cut costs.

Anxiety said:

You can play the PS1 games on the PS2 console. But the PS1 games and PS2 games cannot be played on the PS3 and that sux. Why do I want to run out and replace all my games? I'm hesitant to buy the PS3.



Where is Nikademus??

Better than fucking GameStop.

Man, I still have PS1 and 2 and my Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Game Cube and Sega. All in playable shape. Im gonna keep them...

PS One is worthless, you might as well throw that out or give it to someone that wants it...

The PS2 still has some value. If you have any games with it you might be able to make a few bucks on ebay.

ebay

You rang?


As far as I know, ALL PS3's can play PSOne games. But only the original PS3's can play PS2 games. Sony dropped PS2 compatibility because the PS2 was/is still selling fairly well,is still having games made for it, and thus is still a viable platform on it's own. It also allowed Sony to drop the price a little.

So if you're planning on (or already have) a PS3, you can sell/donate/whatever the PSOne, but keep the PS2 if you still play the games.

Nikademus said:

The only reason the PS2 was still selling well because the PS3 was so overpriced people were looking at the prices for the Wii, Xbox 360, and the amount and quality of the PS3 games out at the time and said "Fuck that!"

I worked at Gamestop the fall of 2007 and PS3 was barely moving units but people were constantly Xbox 360s and I can barely remember seeing a Wii in stock because they were selling like condoms at a swingers convention

I remember vividly organizing the games for each aisle and system. Nintendo was literally pouring out games, Xbox was consistent with the releases, but PS3's releases.....GOOD releases were far and in between


even now, Wii knocks them out with it comes to quality. Sure Sony has them in terms of graphics, but Wii has them on price, quality, quantity, playability,



....and Mario. and EVERYONE likes Mario, or at least Luigi

and Sony must've shit in their pants a little when they found out Square Enix were going to be bringing the Final Fantasy AND DragonQuest series back to Nintendo

I cleaned out my son's room last week, and have a pile of stuff. What are your experiences with GameStop? Is there an alternative store? I don't do ebay or stuff like that. I figured I would just trash it because he no longer plays with the older stuff, especially since he has all the current systems. I've got ps2, xbox, all the controllers, cords, etc. Tons of games, but he wants to take it to GameStop. I suppose something is better than throwing them out.

the ps2 p;lays ps1 games, so you don't need the ps1 anymore. even if you don't play games on ps2 anymore, it plays dvd's so it has some value as a backup player. gamestop has thousands and thousands of games for the ps2 at dirt cheap prices--$1.99 and up. pound for pound, these games are better than most new games (minus the graphics).

If u have a Game Stop around ur area u can cash them in for store credit and use it for movies in the store or another console.

The equivalent to your Game Stop is EB Games stores here. They sell new and used games and consoles. They do buy your stuff but they don't give you much money and then they turn around and sell your stuff for a higher price which I think is a rip off.

Nikademus said:

Yes I did

Knowing you're a gamer with knowledge I know you know your stuff.

luv4u said:

EB and Gamestop are the same company. Your best bet with those places is not trading for cash, but rather store credit. I have little experience in that area, but I think you get a little more if you do the credit rather than cash.

luv4u said:

Awww shucks

i have my ps1 and ps2 and nintendo

If you plan on keeping them, and maybe even getting more games for them, you might want to check out this site...



www.digitpress.com


Also, if anyone wants to sell their older stuff, that site has a LOT of oldschool game collectors who would probably offer better prices than Gamestop and the like.

I'm Nikademus1969 there
