- Game HDMI cable (loose)

- Batman Arkham Asylum
- Call of Duty Modern Warfare
- Far Cry 2 (Platinum)
- Ghostbusters
- Guitar Hero World Tour (Solo guitar bundle, the guitar has a Ghostbusters logo sticker stuck on the front)
- The Orange Box
- Resistance 2

Ideally wanting to sell it all as a bundle.

I sold my PS3 and games about a month ago and got $950.00 for everything.

I reckon you're looking at around £175-200 - although it all depends on how good everything is - boxed, age of console etc. Tbh though, it's more hassle but, i'd sell it individually - you'll always get the best prices that way.
Game prices drop like a stone these days so £85-90 for that lot, then £100-120 for the PS3.

I had an idea coz i was looking for one myself not long ago - your best bet is to study ebay. Auctions are funny things though, if there's a few people that want an 80gb pS3 and they play the outbid game then you could end up with more..it's a gamble.
As for games, you have to do either two things: buy it, play it and sell it or buy it, play it and keep it (forever). The prices drop so quickly now, they're near on worthless 6 months+ old.
Unless you're desperate for the money (or need it to upgrade), you might as well keep it - it's still useful as a blu ray player at least.

It was more of a 'might need to sell it just in case', but I luckily should be able to hang onto it now. It's amazing how quickly prices drop. I think I'm surprised as the PS3 and Guitar Hero came to just under £400 together when I first bought them.
