GameStop Once Again Accepting PS2 Trade-Ins

GameStop on Monday announced that it is once again accepting PlayStation 2 trade-ins.

The retailer stopped accepting trade-ins for the system, the best-selling home console of all-time, back in June 2013. But now, GameStop is getting back into the business due to" high" demand.

"The video game console that had captured millions of hearts around the world continues to breathe life," GameStop said in a statement. "The Sony PlayStation 2 is known for its vast library of games and being the top selling video game console of all-time. GameStop knows that a demand for this iconic piece of video game history is still high and will once again buy back PS2 consoles."

As of March 1, all United States GameStop stores will offer $25 in store credit to shoppers who trade in a system with a power cable, AV/cable, and one controller. If you've lost these accessories over the years, GameStop will still pay you $20 for the console itself.

GameStop encourages anyone with specific questions about the new PS2 trade-in program to contact their local store.

Yeah I was talking to a guy at work at BB and he said he was done with his PS2 and getting a Xbox 360. I set him up with the system, talked about which games he'd like based on his gaming tastes and then told him about trading in his old electronic devices, like the PS2.

He told me he tried Gamestop but since his system was refurbished they wouldn't take it. Although now that I know they'd just give you $25 for the system and controller it's prob best just to hold on to it.

You is actually going to going trade in their PS2 at this point? It's a collectors item. 

oh sweet awesome dude man bro!

I don't understand why they are doing this. I walked into GameStop yesterday and there was a rack of PS2 games with a sign saying they were all $1 if you bought 10 or more.
