Will you keep your old console?

I think one of my largest regrets upon buying the PS3 when it came out was not keeping my PS2. Not because I had any ill feelings toward the PS3. But because there were some games that I felt were executed better on the PS2 than they were on the PS3 and I missed some of my older PS2 games. I know a lot of people over the next few months will be packaging up all of their games and their current system and heading down to Gamestop (or another similar store). I'm curious as to how many of you will be keeping your current console AND buying a new console. I'm pretty sure that this time around, I'll put the PS3 in my bedroom and put the PS4 out in my living room.

We have 2 360's. I will keep my original launch 360 until a few weeks before the PS4 release then dump it. Will wait for a "extra trade value" around that time.

Ah, so you're in a pretty good position then. Waiting for a "Extra Trade Value" promotion is a good idea. With that said, I fully expect the value of the PS3 and 360 to drop significantly over the next few months. I take it you're jumping ship?

Im holding on to both my 360 and PS3. I have allot of money invested in them , and they both provide great fun.

In the next gen of consoles I will only purchase a PS4. XBOX one is not for me at all.

After viewing this video I'm staying away from the XBOX one.

I plan to keep my PS3. Honestly there are games coming out (like GTAV) that I want to play, and even games I currently own that I still haven't played yet. I imagine there will be some overlap playing the PS3 while I wait to build up my library of PS4 games--plus we don't have a release date yet for the new system.

The trade-in value I would receive just doesn't seem worth it to me; I'd rather keep the system and be able to go back to games I liked when I please. I still have my original Xbox and play that from time-to-time. Plus I like to collect these things haha.

I only get rid of my consoles if they break or I don't have an emulator for the games. Since the Dreamcast I have kept all of my consoles. Now that we know neither the PS4 or XBOX One will have backwards compatibility it only makes sense to keep your current console.

Yeah, I am planning on keeping both my PS3 and 360. A lot of back logged games I want to play on both.

Seeing as I still own (and use) a fat PS2 AND a PSP.....more than likely.
