|

I just wanted to let everyone know that ebgames at least the ebgames in my area have a new deal out for the ps3. If you trade in your ps2 (i dont know if this applies to both a regular ps2 or slim) and you trade in a memory card and a playstation controller along with it Ebgames will knock off $100 off the sale price of the ps2. _________________

Hmm. Well, I am getting a PS3 when I get paid, which is this thursday. I'll never trade in my memory card though, so I won't take advantage of this promotion. _________________

Yeah, as gamers, memory cards are as valuable as our lives. Not many people are going to take them up on that. _________________

neither of you have multiple memory cards?
I have 3 ps2 memory cards. Well...one is actually my dads and the 2nd one he is using as well because he plays Champions of Norrath and that games takes up a lot of space. I only use one and have lots of space left on it. _________________

Just buy a memory card, then trade it in after you open the package. PS2 memory cards cost what, $30? So you're still getting $70 off the price of your PS3. That's a pretty good deal. Right now, though, I have no interest in buying a PS3. I'm more interested in getting an Xbox 360, which is just a bit cheaper. I have no time to play games now anyways, but I'll definitely be getting a 360 before a PS3. _________________

I have no money and there really isn't any killer apps or anything that'll interest me enough to keep playing a PS3 :O _________________

I have 1 PS2 and 1 PS1 memory card and I just cant part with either of them, It may be worth buying a new memory card just to take advantage of the deal though. PS2's are so cheap you'd probably make a profit buying one and giving it back for the discount lol. _________________

Oh, they brought this back again? I got my PS3 because of this deal back in February.
If anyone plans on doing this, the EB guys didn't check to see if the Playstation 2 was working. This made me very upset because I traded in my working PS2 fearing that they were going to check. But they didn't, and so now I have a non-working PS2 gathering dust upstairs. I should fix it and sell it or something. I'm pretty sure it just needs some good cleaning.
About your memory cards, there are no ports for them in the PS3 so they're pretty much useless if you give up your only PS2. If you keep your memory card but don't have a PS2 after trade-in, you'll need one of those converters that reads PS2 memory cards on the PS3. I'm not exactly sure where you get one of those, though.
I wish there were more interesting games out right now, but the good stuff isn't coming out until Summer and beyond. So anyone that's borderline on the decision may want to wait it out regardless of price. _________________

Yeah, I would take advantage of this deal, but with me I plan on bringing my PS2 onto the tug boat I work on when I buy a PS3 and then throw my PS1 over the side. Umm, if there's any Coast Guard on here, I MEANT to say, I will properly dispose of my PS1 in the appropriate waste receptacle. I'd NEVER pollute in any way, shape, or form.
Anyways, there's also no games worth owning yet, at least not to me, so having a PS3 is very low on the priority list. _________________

Not really interested in the deals. I like my PS2, and from what I've heard, PS3 has problems playing some of the PS2 games. So if I traded the PS2 in, I won't be able to play most of my PS2 games. And for the controller and the memory card, it just doesn't seem like all of that is worth $100.
Plus, my PS2 is modified so I could play the Japanese games. So my PS2 is worth a bit more then the $125 it is right now. I plan to keep mine for a while to be honest. Heck, I still have my Nintendo system.
If they have a promotion with $300, then I might think about it. And I'm aware they won't make a profit off that, since the PS2s are pretty cheap right now, but it's the only deal I see at the moment, that I would consider. _________________

I herard about that too.
You need certain drivers and patchs to play PS2 games on the PS3 and I heard they rushed it so they could release it early.
You have to do a simular thing to play x-box games on the 360 but its very easy to do. And even though it does'nt play all the x-box's games it plays alot of the popular ones.
Yet another set-back for Sony. _________________
