Update (5/26 5:15pm): If you don’t have an old console or aren’t ready to part with yours yet, Amazon has a terrific PS4 bundle: For $399 (regular retail price) you get a 500GB PlayStation 4 console with The Last of Us Remastered and a 1-year PlayStation Plus membership ($50 value). Deal ends tomorrow.
There’s no reason you should still be holding out on jumping into a PlayStation 4. Sony’s most recent game console has a host of terrific games including Bloodborne, The Witcher 3, and Mortal Kombat X with huge names in the pipeline for release later this year.
Usually it’s best to avoid console trades and go for private sale. However, Best Buy stores are currently running a deal that’ll net you a minimum of $175 (3x normal value) towards a PS4 for your old PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360:
As a comparison, Amazon is currently offering ~$55 for the aforementioned Xbox 360 and ~$80 for the PlayStation 3. Gamestop isn’t much better, coming in at $50 for both systems.
Valid 5/24/15 to 6/6/15. In store only. Trade in any working Xbox 360 or PS3 console and receive a $75 coupon toward a PS4 console. Trade in a working Xbox 360 250GB or Sony Playstation 3 Slim and receive a minimum $100 gift card. Not available in all locations and some stores may have additional limitations. Console must include AC adapter/power cord, power on, not be damaged o have its warranty seal broken to be considered working. Not compatible with other trade-in offers.
