trade in your Xbox 360 plus your gaming library to pick up a PS3 slim?

That's the question I'm currently facing and it's all because of God of War 3, and the recently repackaged God of War I&II for PS3. I never got into GOW when I had my original PS2 but just recently I picked up a copy of the first GOW and now I get what everyone was talking about. Definitely an amazing game and after seeing screens for GOW 3, I'm really, really interested in that game.

Of course, the only problem being that I don't currently have a PS3. I like my 360 but it has died once and I think it's about to go on the fritz again as I got red-ringed the other day when I turned it on, but it has been OK (knock on wood).

My only concern with trading in my 360 for a PS3 would be that I would get killed in the resale value if I took it to Gamestop. My guess is that I wouldn't even get $100 for my 360 and I'd get maybe $100 for all my games, with Madden 10 being the only real game of value in my library.

Replacing the games on PS3 wouldn't be bad as I stated, only Madden 10 is a game that would cost me more than $20 to pick up. And, since I'm going back to my roots and playing mostly offline, I think the PS3 would be a good deal as I wouldn't have to pay a yearly fee for a certain level of membership, like you do on the 360.

So, decisions, decisions.

Anyone that works at Gamestop or has good knowledge of the trade-in values have any idea what I'd get for the following:

360 Core + 20-gig HDD
360 Memory Card
Madden 10
NHL 08
Tiger Woods 08
College Hoops 2k8
Legends of Wrestlemania
NCAA 09
Guitar Hero II
Guitar Hero III
Guitar Hero Controller
NFL Head Coach 09

I have looked into trading mine in also but, I think you will only get around $70 for your system, $25 for your HD and for all your games I would guess about $50 and the Guitar $5, for a whopping total of $150

That's what I figured. I might call around to a couple of mom and pop shops and see if they have better deals. I wonder if I could get more if I just put an ad on Craigslist?
