This is insane! Now it’s best to sell the ps5 second hand.
Way back when I got a launch PS5, model CFI-1015A. This past holiday I picked up a slim as well and my launch console has been packed back in the factory box. Over the weekend I learned with pro membership and a $25 trade boost, GameStop is giving $410 in trade credit for any disc PS5 console. Yet at the same time they sell it used for $470 or $445 with pro membership.
This felt like way too good of a deal with the impending PS5 Pro release so I hesitated yet reluctantly traded it in, since the collector in me wants to keep it as it’s the first edition with the larger heatsink (CFI-1015A).
Am I missing something… is this trade offer too good?
I was thinking about upgrade to the ps5 slim from my original ps5 and I saw that pro members (which I am) get an extra credit for trade ins and that ps5 trade in towards the newer model get 50 extra dollars I was just wondering if anyone could confirm this and what the total trade in price would be thanks!
So the rumor is that the PS5 Pro is coming out later this year. If true, I'm planning to trade-in my current PS5 to offset the cost. My concern is that the PS5 trade in value might depreciate moderately when the new console comes out. Currently, the PS5 has a trade-in value of $357.50 for Pro Users plus an extra $50 as far as a promotion. I also currently have $192 in store-credit which I'm planning to hold on to unless things change.
I could trade-in my PS5 now and go without it since I have an XSX and 4080 Gaming PC. However, I do own the PSVR2 which would be sitting on the shelf for several months until that time.
What are your thoughts?
