I would just sell them. You'll get more out of them.

I went to EB this weekend, and took 5 PS2 games to see what their trade-in value would be.. well, to my surprise, only $24.00. And they were not even that old.. they were 2002 versions of some sport games..
I told them to give me my games back , and stick their $24.00 where it hurts most.. :)


Just my .02.. its not worth it... especially when they put the same games you turned in back out on the shelf for $20-25!!

Decent yes, but not the most you can get for it.

very few good games for the xbox. This comes from experience as I have 20 and only play one or two. Just not too many good games and a whole lot of terrible ones.

Gamecube is very fun as is sunshine and metroid - worth the price of admission here on metroid alone.

PS2 - well I've had it longer so I have more titles, right now I'm working on ratchet and clank loads of fun.

So coming from somebody who has all three it really boils down to the games and what you like. Xbox has the power and normally wins on ports. But you can't count out the exclusives to each console.

So for me each console gets time depending on what game I'm working on.

Hmm, if you weren't selling your PS2 to EB, I'd offer to buy it off of you for better than that . . .. Oh well.

I don't know, I've always had an open mind about my consoles and I just can't be sold on the X-Box. Perhaps most people are attracted to the online ability and Halo, but I'm lucky enough to have a really good gaming computer with a DSL connection. FPS are nearly unplayable on consoles because of the controls. I like my computer/Gamecube combination because nothing beats the multiplayer of a GC with Super Smash Brothers and Super Monkey Ball.
