Selling one's PlayStation

Q: When I was young I had a play station. Now I am studying in Aalim class. I don't use it anymore. Can I sell my play station?

A: These games are not permissible as there are impermissible elements found in them (e.g. music, pictures of animate objects, etc.). Therefore, you should not sell it, but rather break it so that you do not become the means for others committing sin through it.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
