From the 360 to a PS3?

I been thinking about it for a while now i have one of the older white 360s but I've always been a fan of playstation i still play my ps2 games heavy final fantasy 10/12, Persona 3 fes etc.
Owners of both or people that just have PS3s and have played 360 do you think it would be worth it to make the switch and trade my 360 in at gamestop with some cash for a 60GB PS3 so i can still play my ps2 games i enjoy?

Probably won't get more than 60-70 bucks for my 360 w wireless out of the $219.99 + shipping for the 60GB ps3.

    Resistance and Killzone are ? garbage, b.

    Listen ? what he said. When I switched from xbox 360 to Ps3 it was like heaven. Free online gameplay. Free internet. Download free movies and songs to my ? . Its like a laptop mane. Its worth it. Cop that GTA IV and call of duty black ops that's a must

    Just curious, why do people always have to do either or? You can still get a PS3, then you'll have both.

    I don't see why people trade in their systems, especially at this point in the current gens lifespan, just to get ? by Gamestop. They selling 360s for like $200, but will only give you like $60 for it; I mean granted, the hardware is a ? , but still...sheeeeiiiit. At least try ebay or craigslist.

    True true but when a dude wanna kick it on socom 2 us navy seals/battlefront 2 i would have to go move my ps2 where my computer is to be able to play online.

    It would save alot of time if i could just play it on a ps3 with its wireless connection i wouldn't have to move anything over to the living room just to play a game for an hour.

    just get a ps3 and keep the 360. no point in getting rid of it if theres games u still like on it.

    ive thought about copping a 360 numerous times but the posts of the ppl here that rep 360s turned me off from doing it.

    Well it depends on how much you like Live and if you think it's worth the price.nobody I know who as a 360 only or a PS3 and 360 pay for Live.Also how much do you like Halo and Gears? They are the only exclusive games that are notable on the 360,but if you don't play them online then they are useless.With the PS3,you get free online,more exclusive games,better downloadable games and get to play games like Battlefield and COD for free online.Honestly,there is no benefit that the 360 has over the PS3.Not even Live is worth the hype.

    That's another thing maybe i need to step my gaming up but i really haven't found anything solely on the 360 that makes it feel whole to me. Not saying there's not fun games on the 360 I'm just saying there's not as many fun games on the 360 that is 360 only. Like if i switched systems than switched back i feel that i would miss the uncharted series/? Of war/Killzone series more than Halo or Gears of war series.

    This is the reason why I never bought a 360.Gears is cool,but I don't play online so that just leaves Fable.Really the 360 had a great start,but is just hype now and gets support because it is the American brand.Games like Mass Effect,Ninja Gaiden,Saints Row,Bioshock and Dead Rising were reasons to buy a 360 and now they are all on the PS3.Out of the 3 companies MS has the weakest first party companies which is really crucial now that most 3rd party games are on every console.The truth is that the 360 was always a poor man's PS3 used solely for multiplat games when the PS3 was very expensive.

    rofl all Xbox fans can say is that Live is better.What does Live do that makes it better? Nothing worth paying for that's sure.

    I've notice that is the difference between live and psn that big? I'm sure live is better since you are paying money but is it a major difference?

    People will use the ps3 games cost more argument too.

    Get it. But why get rid of the 360? GS is just gonna rob you. You might as well pay out of your pocket for a new PS3 than making GS richer.

    No big difference because all of the Live features do not improve the gaming experience.They are for socializing and have no impact on the game you are playing.
