I have 2 PS3's in my house, but only really have use for 1. I wanted to know if it is worth trading in my used 80gb PS3 to GS for $200 then swapping it to get the new black Wii?

I would say no, Having had both... unless you like mostly shovelware the wii does not really have a ton of games to offer, you could probably make more selling it off a site like ebay then buying another used wii for a bit less (i mean for my white one i never got offered more than 100 usd and thats including shipping with 2 controllers and a classic controller)

Sell the 80gb on ebay, you'll get more then $200 for it since it's reverse compatible.

after Ebay/Paypal fees it would probably be around $185-200. The second ps3 just collects dust.

Dude, I have a 360, PS2, and Wii and I'm enjoying playing some "new" old games on my PS2! 9timesplitters hell yeah!)
Please don't buy a Wii, it's fun for maybe a couple months, but then....so sorry, I was busy shoveling third party Wii titles into the furnace. ANYWAYS, even I would buy that PS3 from you, seriously can't wait to get one.
Bottomline, you're going eventually spend $200 at gamestop, so get the $200 credit.

Not worth it. Two PS3s =two blu ray players. Plus, even though both stream Netflix, PS3 is in HD. Wii is a novelty. I rarely play my Wii.
The only way you will be getting more than $200 on ebay is if you kept your PS3 well maintained and in a smoke free house, kept the original box, and never had a YLOD.
I had the above setup when I sold my BC 60gig PS3 on ebay and it sold for $315 with $20 dollar shipping, $335 total. Taking out the fees and actual shipping cost, I made a total of ~$285, which is way higher than a GameStop trade in.
You could try craigslist and not pay all the extra fees and deal with people local but you would need to start high like $300 or Best Offer kind of thing.
