Depreciation on games console !!!

[Dave_S]

:eek:

I asked in Game out of curiosity what they'd give me trade-in on my DreamCast. ............. £20 . Yes you read that right, £20. Wow lucky me. I paid £200 on release day for this console. LOL I queued up outside of Electronics Boutique at Midnight with a mate and waited 1 1/2 hours to get in the store. They let two in at a time. I bought Sonic for £39.99 as well. Rather expensive night that one!!! The games now sell new for about £4.99 as well!!

Oh god, I must have spent £700 on that console altogether, now worth about £70 :( OH well, it's still a bloody good console. I think I'll keep it :)

Before Electronics Boutique was purchased by Game, they were selling new Dreamcast consoles for £75 new!! I was tempted, but realised that having a Super Nintendo, a Gameboy Advance, a Playstation, a PS2 and several pcs is probably enough for now. Plus consoles are very high maintenance. You just have to keep buying new games. :D

Keep it.

I've never sold a console. I either brake em or I've still got em. :)

you'll get more value out of keeping it and playing with it than selling it for £20. unless you need the cash :/

Yeah me too...

Still have the Megadrive my bro took to Uni and then blew up when he puked on it while pished:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I was also one of the few thousands to get the PS2 on the day it came out as I was one of those sad muppets who pre ordered it at 00:01 the day the pre order scheme started:o

Cost me £300 PLUS the other bits and pieces that came with it:eek:

Could have sold it for over a grand but I like my games too much FOOL:cool: :cool: :cool: :rolleyes:

In a few years time, u'll realise it was a classic, and that the games will never ever be beaten for shear fun! Well, thats what i think of my mega drive anyway!
