Due to financial constraints and the upcoming transition to college where I'll have less desk space to work with, I've decided that I'll be selling off two of my three video game consoles. I've been debating for awhile which ones to let go of. My options are:
- The PS2. This one isn't doing a whole lot, and I've already finished all of the games I have for it. I don't use the DVD or CD player on it either. However, new games are still coming out on the PS2, meaning that I can continue to play some newer titles without dumping money on one of the newer consoles, so longevity is an issue to be taken into consideration.
- The Xbox. It's modchipped with an Xecuter3 CE and has an 80GB hard drive upgrade in it. It runs Xbox Media Center and, as the name suggests, acts as my media center PC, which I use for MP3s, CDs, DVDs, etc. As far as games go, I've never actually bought a game for the Xbox, instead I run stuff like Doom and some SNES/N64 games on it. Of note is that pretty much everything I do with the Xbox can be duplicated on my laptop with no difficulty or hacks. Furthermore, due to all of the upgrades, this one would probably net me the most money overall.
- The GameCube. Probably the console with the most sentimental value to me. I have every single title in the Legend of Zelda series for it, and have finished them all at least twice (except the two NES/Famicom ones). I'd like to keep Wind Waker and Twilight Princess around, as there aren't any decent PC emulators for the GameCube as there were for the earlier titles like Link to the Past and Ocarina of Time. However, Nintendo isn't making any new games for the Gamecube anymore, so it's pretty much a dead console to me, with a bunch of games I've already finished. The fact that this GameCube was one of the early models with a digital video output, combined with the fact that I have the HD video cable that was only available in Japan, could easily make this go for $60 or $70 above the market price.
Does anyone want to make any suggestions as to which two I should ditch?
