Congrats, I did exactly the same, and traded in BFII minus the deluxe content code to best buy for $33 with gcu ($30 without). It still has that value at BB as of this posting.

 

Monster Hunter World and Shadow of the Colossus play amazingly in performance mode on the pro.

 

I was going to Ebay my copy but BB sounds like the easier route considering I want to get Colossus there anyways.  Thanks.

Even with the potential $50 discount, $50 gift card, and free game I feel like the Xbox One X isn't worth trading in an X1S + $300. But I still feel like im missing out if I don't do it. 

if you don't ahve a 4k TV, I would wait, if you have one, I would get it. this is what I am doing it anyway

Yeah I woke up this morning and come to the conclusion that I won’t do the deal.  I’ll just keep my Xbox S and just wait til the X drops in price.

 

ill probably just put the money towards getting a Switch as well as a better TV at this point.

I'd be all over this if my OG White Xbox One traded in for more than a measly $65 in credit. Since I got a PS4 Pro I have barely touched my Xbox One. I basically only have turned it on in the last year to watch TV since my Cable box is hooked up to the Xbox One. The only game I really played and purchased for the system in 2017 was Cuphead too. 

 

If I had the X though I would likely buy and play games on my Xbox One again because I prefer the controller to PS4 and feel like with having a 4K TV I am missing out by not having a One X.

I think for average folks, yes I'd agree. But who among us CAGs pays that $300 cash out of pocket? You can do the same with $150 (or less) with minimal effort with flips and trade promos going on all the time (including this very moment). I turned $135 cash into $75 GS credit and $225 BB credit and will end up with another $30-$40 in reward certs just in a couple of hours this weekend. That's not to brag, just to reinforce that you don't have to pay face value at these stores for your items if you know how.

Would that deal be worth it for $150 out of pocket, plus any certs back after trading and buying it? It would to me if I didn't already have an X.

Thanks to all who pointed out the system trade in values this weekend. Traded in my launch PS4 which ran as hot and loud as a jet engine and an Xbox 1 S for $350 total...upgraded to the Battlefront PS4 Pro.


Seconded, although I bought PS4 1 TB slim because I could only afford to add the $105 necessary to upgrade with bills due. But my original controller had almost had it. The newer one feels a bit lighter and the thumbsticks are more responsive. I might even be able to play Bloodborne now that I have the space to install it! Thanks again.

Really? The site said $65? The promotion may not have been factored into that price though.  $150 isn't bad though, but not enough for me to fork over the additional funds to get the One X.

As someone who has only become a regular customer of GameStop w/in the past few months, what are the Pro Day deals like?  I've never bothered to check to see what they were in the past, but now that I'm Elite, just curious as to what kinds of things they do.  Thanks.

Usually, they have some decent games on sale, but it's usually stuff that Best Buy has already had on sale for less. I don't believe anything has been posted on what is on sale this weekend yet though. I'll definitely stop in and check it out though. Would like to get some deals on some games I need to pick up still like Danganrompa 1&2 on PS4, but I haven't seen that around recently so I doubt that will be something I find on sale.

Didn't realize Xbox One S 1TB bundles were dropped to 250. Def trading in my OG Xbox One to upgrade to a 1tb S bundle with Assassin's Creed for a hundred bucks. 

 

I would save for an X but I already own a PS4 Pro and the smaller form factor is a big selling point for me.

Surprisingly, the X is smaller than the S. It does weigh more though.

Wonder when we will get confirmation on the X deal for Gs.

Is pro day in-store only or is it online as well? I hope they offer some B2G1

Not sure if it's in store only but the last Pro day in November didn't have a B2G1 sale. But I'm also hoping they do this time around because there's a few games I want to pick up.

150$ for a vcr xbox was too good to pass up (already have an s and x). I guess that digital copy of kinect sports rivals I never played and 2 kinects I have are officially useless.

Kinect was one of the things that made me change my mind about trading in my OG Xbox. I still have copies of Kinect Sports Rivals and Shape Up in my backlog. And the fact that everyone says that the S is only a marginal step up from the original was the other.

Part of the reason I am holding on to mine as well. If I could sell mine for enough to make it worth my while to upgrade to the One X I would, but I would have to be able to get the One X for $200 or less, which isn't going to happen with an OG Xbox One. I also really like the look of my White XBone.

Went to Gamestop, traded in my Xbox One OG with no hassle for 150, but the Assassin's Creed Xbox One S bundle they had was obviously bought and returned after someone had used the codes (they had used packing tape to cover the seals that were cut). Clerk was cool about returning it and ordered me another bundle off the website.

 

Either way, ~100 bucks to upgrade my old VCR unit to something smaller with a copy of AC:O to boot, pretty good deal to me.

What’s the maximum number of copies you can trade in of the same game without being flagged?  I believe it’s 3 copies per account, but wanted to confirm before I go nuts on the redbox trade ins.

It's 4 max within a 30 rolling day period.

Your og xbox nets you $150 right now, but it ends today. I have done 2 trade ins of them. It doesnt show in the console trade cvalue but in the ad.
