The Xbox One S trade value seems way too low.
Optical UHD drive, HDR, Atmos makes the system worth more.
Add the remote and the S is a great system for apps, movies, and games.
No way I'd trade my Minecraft Green 1TB for $125.
@GamerDad66 I think it’s because MS is still manufacturing those and dropped the price on them.
@FraserG Did they say if there's a trade in policy in place for online preorders if you ship it in? Since this is America, where there is no pandemic at all, I'm pretty sure I don't want to walk into GameStop....
I was hoping they'd have such a deal as I have two still-in-box 1X's here that I had bought at good prices as spares a while back, and was planning to trade one in if they did. And then....the pandemic, and I'll probably end up eating $200 just to not set foot in the store.
That’s pretty cool! I don’t believe they do mail in trades- but they should!
@NEStalgia I haven't seen any information aside from the trade-in prices of the individual consoles so far. Sorry!
Wow, I could get a Series X for $100.
Too bad I am waiting a few months to get the console - pretty sure that $200 deal will no longer be in effect for my Xbox One X and PS4 Pro.
It’s crazy that you can trade in your Xbox One X & get a new Series S for only $100 more.
Ehh better than usual for them I guess but you'd make more selling privately.
Honestly it seems low to me for the offers. Most of them are only $25 over normal trade in price and the Switch is the exact same as normal trade in. I feel like they normally do much better trade in deals towards new systems. I remember getting $200 for a Wii U towards a Switch. Or even $175 from an Xbox One S towards an Xbox One X and that was in May of 2019. Doesn't seem like much extra incentive to choose them for trade in.
Looking forward to seeing what Game UK does
If I had an Xbox One X, I wouldn't trade it for a Series S.
Xbox One X can do BC titles at 4K, Series S functions like Xbox S.
Series S is disc-less and it might end up targeting 1080p for gameplay.
Wow this is great. I got my one s for so cheap on Black Friday last year. $125 is pretty much what I paid for it when considering that it came with a brand new $60 game. I think ill be trading in towards the series s asap.
@Bowser89
I hear ya. If I wasn’t getting the Series X, I would be thinking the same thing. But I need. a 4k TV first, so I’ll have to wait a bit.
Okay, does the preorder deal only count like if you trade in the console right now and preorder? Or can I preorder SX Sept 22, and then trade in my XB1X Nov 10 and get the $200?
@GamerDad66 what’s especially insulting is how much they charge for a used Xbox One S...
I agree that these trade in values are incredibly low towards the purchase of a new console. I had planned on trading in my Xbox one S towards a series X but their promotion only adds $15 to my trade. Maybe this is just an early promotion? I wouldn’t want to go so long without my Xbox anyways- I’ll be waiting.
When I seen them I thought “that’s not too bad” then I seen it’s dollars. That’s terrible.
It will only get you the money to buy one or two games depending what you trade in, one of the reasons I go elsewhere to trade in my games
@KelticDevil actually the more I think about it. I may go with the series x instead. I want the extra ssd space.
GameStop's trade-in values have always been notoriously low; they buy pristine copies of games for a handful of dollars that they immediately turn around and sell often within $5-10 of the current full retail price. Used games and hardware exchange has been their primary business model all along; it literally is what single-handedly kept them in the black for so many years.
If you want more return on either your used games or hardware, I highly recommend that you go with eBay. Simply look at the going rate for the item you're going to list, choose your price (in my personal experience you'll save a ton of time by making it a "Buy It Now" as opposed to an auction), and wait. None of these brick-and-mortar game stores or other places like Best Buy that do trade-ins will ever give you close to what they're really worth.
@Medic_Alert interestingly enough I have the Minecraft Xbox one s they must be made off a different assembly line or something,it has been then best made Xbox I’ve ever had,it is flawless,Just my opinion
Last time I did a trade at GameStop the trade value was much higher,I’m not about to trade a ps4 pro or Xbox one x for $200,less than a year ago they offered $300 in trade and $200 for an original ps4 or Xbox one s,I’ll wait till a limited edition Xbox series x comes out within a year and trade values will be higher,right now they know the desperation to get a new console is like rats Fighting over that last piece of cheese
