Retailers dealing in used and trade-in games are reporting (unfortunately only one willing to go on the record about it) that, due to the extended PSN outage, they are seeing players trading in their Playstation 3 consoles in exchange for XBox360 consoles.

Apparently the source of the trade-ins is the hardcore online player crowd, those whose bread-and-butter are Call of Duty. One retailer stated that all their trade-ins were due to one of the games in the CoD franchise.

I'm a little amazed that people are so addicted to their online shooters that they'd trade in a whole console in order to get their fix.  I mean, the 360 doesn't have a Blu-Ray drive, after all - can't you go a few weeks without spawn-camping?
