What would this be worth?

I'm debating selling my entire PS3 system, games, and movies.  I'm mad as hell at Sony, and don't want to buy any more of their products.  Curious what this would currently be worth if I were to sell it.

Original PS3 system with 80 gb HDD, wifi, memory card readers and 4 USB ports.  Plays PS2 games through software emulation.  Firmware is V 3.15, still has the Linux option.
Games: Ratchet and Clank 1 and 2, GTA4, Resistance 1, Tom Clancy Rainbow 6 Vegas, Golden Compass, Spyro, Sonic, Full Auto 2, Motorstorm
2 controllers
remote control
about 10 blu-ray movies (would probably end up keeping these though and getting a stand alone Bluray player)

All of it is in like new condition.

How much did you pay in total for it all? If so than I would take bout 100$ off the original price or something, or sell it at par. But I would think that people would buy most things seperately.

There's probably about $900 into the thing after all the games....I bought it when they were 'expensive' :P  regretting it now.

May I ask why you're mad at Sony?

Reason for asking, is to see if it's the same reason for my being mad at Sony.

I'm mad at Sony for a few reasons

1) Firmware update that will remove the OtherOS feature, failure to update the firmware will prevent you from using any new game titles, blu-ray movies, or accessing online features

2) Sony's constant lying to customers and over-shooting the systems capabilities and making promises of new enhancements and featuers that never come about or are not as good as they claim they are

3) Bad BAD *BAD* customer service!

I'm probably going to hang on to the system now.  Looking at what I'd get for it then having to repurchase all the things I do still use it for, makes it not worth it.  There is currently a large classaction lawsuit happening over the Other OS removal, and I'm hopeful that Sony is going to lose this case and have to refund all owners of the original system some of the purchase price.

Keep in mind that the class action lawsuit is in the US. Chances are you'll see nothing from that.

edit: this is as far as I know, if you know otherwise, all the power to you :)

From what I understand, I'd be covered because I bought it at the Sony store, which is owned by Sony of America.  The suit covers all systems sold between certain dates.  I'm on the list of 'plaintiffs' for the court case, and they didn't reject it so keeping my fingers crossed.  If you haven't signed on to it, I would.  You need your original packaging and receipt though.
