I've decided I'm gonna trade in my launch 500 GB PS4 basically because I'd like a new controller, warranty and less wear and tear. I did it with my XB1 last week, and it's inspired me to do it with my PS4 as well. So here are my options:

500 GB Uncharted Bundle w/ Fallout 4 - $349.99
500 GB Uncharted Bundle - $299.99 on Black Friday
500 GB Star Wars Battlefront Bundle - $399.99
1TB CoD Bundle - $429.99

I really wish the Star Wars Bundle was 1TB, that'd make my choice much easier. Anyone else debating doing this? If so, what'd you guys decide?

I'm on the same boat. But trading xb1 and day one os4. I'm Getting the Vader one and the uncharted one. Going to use Apple Pay and discover price protection to drop those prices even lower

 

[ORANGE ALERT]

Thanks for the opinions guys. I went with the Vader PS4. I'm a sucker for Star Wars, and I figured I'd splurge just this once, even though I realize it's the worst deal of the bunch. $250 for my launch PS4 was a pretty good value, and I double dipped by trading in a 120 GB PS3 for $100. I also traded in a beat up Dualshock 3 for $15.40, Mario Party 8 for $24.20, and the crappy wired PS4 headset they give you for $2.20 (all trade values are with PUR).

Walked out with a preorder for the Vader PS4 for a total of $0.83, since trade credit isn't taxed in NY. 

Looking forward to Tuesday!

I'm not seeing the tearaway in my active offers.

Because it isn't 11/15 yet.

 

[HyperG]

Was waiting on my xbox one to get returned from the service center from being fixed but got an email tonight saying it got lost in transit. Supposed to be sending me a refurbished unit. I was told it was fixed when I called asking about why my service order was cancelled. So confusing... defect fee w/ trade in at GS would of been less of a headache at this point.

 

[Liquid Metal]

Because it isn't 11/15 yet.

Oh yeah, well your mother wears combat boots.

 

[mrclutch]

Do you still get a tiv bump for donating a $1?

 

[blueweltall]

Just a few info that might be useful to some members here:

-You're no longer banned from trading in stuff at GS if you got the traded limit exceed notice in the summer. It was only a 90 Days ban.

-If you purchase the Xbox One last week with the free game and controller promo, you can go in and swap the free game for something else as long as it is still sealed. YMMV if you can get a game from a different console besides the Xbox One.

i am thinking of going to best buy to get the 1 tb CoD bundle w free Fallout 4 then going to gamestop next week to swap in my 500 gb white ps4.... should work out i suppose, just hoping i get at least $250 back for the old ps4.

I'm actually going to try and see if they'll let me exchange the free controller and pay the difference for the lunar white controller.

They should, that's what happened to me last week when I wanted a lunar white instead of the regular.

I was briefly looking at the upcoming promos, and it mentioned a 50% boost for game and accessory trades. I haven't been able to look at the details yet, but I'll follow up later on my break or when I get home.

Hopefully there will be boomerangs a plenty but if it is on receipts I'll stock up on 99 cent games.

Well it's time to get banned again.

 

[MRW2276]

Your only banned per card. As long as you do trade credit and not cash a fresh card means a fresh you. It's well worth investing in multiple cards at $15 each. Think I once had like 8 accounts when those Ipad flips were happening.;-)

 

[Trenchalicious]

Can you trade in a system without a controller and just take the refurb hit? I can't find the mofo.

This is completely incorrect if your area takes License. You're banned by license, not PUR.

Well yes, but a lot of places don't take the license. Get to a better state!

My area depends on the city. If I stay in my city then I don't need one but every single other city around me requires one. There's a super sketchy city 30 miles away that does photo/fingerprint and that shit tripped me out when they did it. I refused and probably looked guilty as but I'm not doing all that to ing trade in a game.

They will make you buy a used controller to throw into the trade-in.

Thanks for sharing about the bans being lifted! Wonder what happens on the second ban now with the first having been so long. 180 days or account KO'd? The first ban only used ot be 30 or 60 days right, so they have changed it up. Or maybe a velocity limit ban ($2000 in less than a week or something along those lines) is 90 days and a title limit ban is still only 30/60 days. I just remember last year accidentally doing 5 of a title and that time it was no more than a 60 day ban.

Alright people, here's hoping gamestop bends over for us like it did last time

 

[WiiGame]

Does GameStop price match? they got the wiiu bundle for $279 on black friday and everywhere else, literally, has it for $249

 

[AAK_SO_COLD]

Don't see the 50% being the same without a coupon stacking with promos.

Damn I was hoping for a post Black Friday bonus so I could clean up.

Did they announce that? I was actually looking for something about this earlier and couldn't find anything.

Anybody know how likely is it they change their current values before then? Debating if it'd be worth it to trade some games in now (Mario Kart 7, Wii Sports, Twilight Princess).

 

[Deader2818]

Its not announced publicly but I see it in our system.

 

[finstersucks]

I wish they used the Saturday before. Going to be tough to do trade ins during the thanksgiving week.

Ha, awesome, thanks for the heads up!

Guess they're running the promo to reload their stock before the B2G1 free sale on BF weekend.

Yea I'm hoping to see some of the rarer Vita games traded in so I can get them with b2g1

Hmm idk about this because I opened up a second account with the same license and it worked just fine while the other was banned. But maybe they didn't need a license number maybe they just need my ID for age and stuff?

They only really use the ID because of local pawn laws. I dont know if they actually use it to ban,

Might have to trade a few games in while in Louisville KY. If I go anyways.

They ban by PUR. DL can be used to connect PURs if your store takes them. Just from my experience.

 

[CharitableDonor]

I traded in a PS3 towards a preorder of the Battlefront Vader PS4, and they asked me to pay off the entire PS4 to get the deal. It wasn't a big problem, but is that standard? I had planned to trade a few games in when I picked it up to help pay it off. It seemed like a split second decision the guy made to require full payment, but I didn't want to stand there any longer so I paid and left.

I still have another PS3 to unload but I don't want to do a full buy and return on a second console so ill just hold onto it a little longer and hope it goes above $60ish soon.

Your lucky that they gave you the $100. It's not suppose to work on pre-orders.

 

[invizibleskratchpikl]

So following up with what Deader posted, from 11/22-11/23, it should be an auto-promo. No coupon required. For the test locations that are taking in retro products, the 50% promo also applies to them.

On 11/24, the promo will require some sort of "bounce back" coupon, kind of similar to the Summer Sale 50% coupons.

I'm not so sure about that. It worked fine when I traded mine in toward the Vader PS4 as well. The guy also didn't make me pay for it in full, but I chose to.

Time to order some more power adapters

Ok thats what bounce back meant, no idea what that was.

Yea, it went through automatically so it works fine with preorders, but I figured full payment wasn't required. Thanks for confirming.

I have so many extra games from all these CEs lately, I wanted to unload 2 Fallout 4 discs and 2 Black ops 3 discs before the 17th, so I'll have to find something else to spend that credit on. I don't mind but I really don't shop at GS much.

Just in time for some of those who just got unbanned. Time for round 2.
