GameStop has launched a week-long promotional trade-in offer allowing Xbox Series X owners to receive up to $420.69 in store credit, requiring a Pro membership for the deal. Although initially thought to be a joke, users have confirmed successfully capitalizing on this offer, which exceeds GameStop's current trade-in price. Intended as a marketing strategy, this move comes as GameStop experiences low stock of used Xbox Series X consoles, capitalizing on their resale potential. The offer serves as a good option for those looking to sell their older Xbox consoles.
"It's legit, doing it right now," one X user. A store employee on the GameStop subreddit reported customers coming in for the deal as well. "I didn't think this was real until a customer came in to trade his series x today, went PRO, pros actually do get $420.69 in trade credit," one wrote.
The caveats, of course, are that the $420.69 requires a Pro membership, which is $25 a year, and it's only for store credit, which requires you to spend the cash at GameStop.
According to them, part of the impetus for the marketing stunt is that GameStop is currently running low on used Xbox Series X units and can still sell them for well over the new trade-in value.
Still, roughly $395 in store credit for an old Xbox Series X (the max value minus the cost of a Pro membership) isn't bad for anyone whose launch console has been collecting dust.
