Should I pawn off the various goodies that have come via my Xbox Live beta participation, or should I keep them? Included are a beta T-shirt that's going for about $25 or so on ePay and an orange memory card (supposedly only went out to the earliest beta testers) that's going upwards of $50.

From a personal standpoint I think they'd be cool to keep, but having the extra money for Christmas couldn't hurt. I generally don't wear video game shirts (Rockstar's sent several with review copies and I never touch them), and I already have another Xbox memory card. Do you think these types of things will appreciate in value longterm, or do you think they've peaked already? Fellow betaers, did you sell yours or are you holding on to them?

I would try selling it with a high reserve and see what happens. Do it now before the retail version is out is my opinion.

I'd keep mine, because eBay pulls all Beta listings that show up on their site. So you really have no way to sell it unless you set a Buy It Now.

Additionally, I'm not sure you'd get too much scratch for it. Most people will just wait for the retail version to hit & most of the ones who really wanted it have either already been selected or bought theirs long ago.

Not worth the hassle if I were in your shoes. I guess you could hock the "I've Got Great Hands" T-shirt, memory card & useless bag they gave us & keep the kit itself.

If you do keep the kit, just be sure you don't want to buy it back later.
