Does that actually add any value - I thought such things could just be downloaded, by those that are interested in such things...?

Correct, and given that ebay generally take a dim view on piracy...


LOL!

Since when?

:)

they don't as far as I can see, several sellers have been reported for copied software and they keep on selling unless its a Microsoft product of course????



Lasted a day :p

Well seems it's illegal to say you can provide backups? Don't see why, flashing the console is also illegal then surely?


IIUC, it is not acceptable to offer backups of software to someone else - without also including the originals or equivalent.

It is not possible to buy consoles from the manufacturer without the original firmware. Thus backups of the firmware come with the original by default.

You could, of course, ask for offers here, or put it up for sale at the amount you expected to get for it, or thereabouts.. Worth a shot, possibly? It costs now't except possibly the embarrassment of being the target of a little ribbing if you ask for "too much"..


looks like the console might fall under this clause
eBay Policy:
Devices that enable the play of backup or import versions video games (including mod chips, game enhancers, and boot discs) may not be listed on eBay.
