XBOX for ps2

hey im looking to get a xbox and get rid of my ps2, i have 4 controllers, headset,keyboard,network adapter,dvd remote,memory card, and 3 games. Any idea how i could trade these for a xbox im guessing if i go to store i would get half credit which sucks im looking for a almost equal trade. Anyone know of any stores having a special for tradein, or even good places to do the system swap?

You're not going to be able to do a direct trade. EB or Gamestop will screw you over for everything you have. You'd be lucky to get over $100 for everything you listed. I'd ebay everything you have and then buy an XBOX.

I would have added "without lube", but that sums up my thoughts exactly.

eBay, baby!

From what I can tell is if you traded it at those stores without the games you'd get about $110. If they are official controllers from Sony. That's my best guess just so you know.

Don't even think twice. Put it all on Ebay and use the money to buy an Xbox.

I thought PS2 has better games, although X-Box has better graphics?

yea its on ebay now, ps2 does have more better games imo. But xbox has better graphics, i like online more, faster, and just more powerful. I also am a huge shooter fan and The Halo and Unreal tournament got me, even the minor things for some people are huge for me. Like espn football 05 will have picture halftime highlights, while xbox will show video highlights. PS2 was fun but im gettin ready for halo 2, gt4 is the only thing im waiting for and its getting pushed back 2 months every month.
