Edit - confirmed on Twitter.

Just saw this on Press Start. Maybe useful for those going next gen.

Between the 3rd of November and 9th of November, if you trade in your old console towards your next-gen preorder, you’ll also get double trade bonus for any games and accessories traded in as well.

      EBgames will try to get you to spend all your trade in credits in store but you can always do your research and order some expensive item that you can preorder much later date and cancel it if this method helps.

          Hey mate, do you know if it's possible to trade in a bunch of stuff (console + games) but only bring the console itself in when it's time to pick up the new one?

          Like I go in on the 9th and say I'm trading in my console + games and controllers, but only bring the console itself in on the 12th?

          • AssociatedThePriceMatchGuy @ EB Games Australia on 20/10/2020 - 11:46

            @jakmon777: there's no benefit in bringing your console in during the November 3-9 promo :) the bonus only applies to games and accessories.

            I'd take your games and any extra peripherals during that week and your console on the 12th when collecting your next gen unit.

              @ThePriceMatchGuy: Given this bonus only applies when trading in a console as well, is the credit being 'held' until EB verifies that a console is also traded in (i.e. you won't get the bonus if you don't eventually trade the console by January)? Seems necessary if you don't have to bring the console in as well…

            • jakmon777 on 20/10/2020 - 12:23

              @ThePriceMatchGuy: Yeah that's why I'm confused, because the extra trade credit only applies with a console trade in. Will they give the extra credit with the 'promise' of a console trade in a week?

              Thanks for the response btw

      • Guybrush57 on 19/10/2020 - 00:55

        Didn't the Xbox also offer the increased trade in value? In that case, could you trade toward an Xbox to get the extra trade-in credit then transfer it to a PS5?

  • wutang01 on 18/10/2020 - 23:52

    Ahh dammit, I already traded in my PS4 Pro last week 🤦🏻‍♂️
    I'll ask in-store whether I can trade in additional accessories with proof of trade-in receipt 😆

    • mrnugget on 19/10/2020 - 09:48

      I did that as well: 2x PS4s, some accessories and a bunch of games.
      They have a no-regret policy so hoping it applies to accessories as well, not just games.

    Also dont forget [PS4, XB1, PC] Cyberpunk 2077 Day One Edition - $29 When Trading 2 Selected Games @ EB Games deal with free next-gen upgrade at a later date.

    Personally, I just hope nothing bad would happen until after 1st of Nov, so we Vic can trade-in in store.

      Just so people are aware, you can only trade one console for the 'bonus' trade-in towards next-gen. Every console after will trade in at regular value. I was told the opposite by customer service on the the phone, but when I turned up a PS4 Pro only netted me $299, including Lvl 3 bonus (I was actually lvl 4 at the time too). I was kind of annoyed to be honest.

    Would be funny seeing people walk into EB games to take advantage of this offer, and put it towards either series X or ps5, only to see day one customers walk out with series X, that's almost a month or so ahead of them. Definitely a salty feeling 😂

    Especially when one customers will be buying it for their 1080p TV's, while those with 4k have to wait, I'm sure there's someone out there in that scene.

          Hey champ, love your name. I've read somewhere a while ago that it isn't about how many carrots you have tied to your account but actually how much you've spent within a one year time frame of being a level 4 member. I think it was an absurd $10000 or something, i could be mistaken. Maybe 5k sounds more reasonable? Can't remember exactly.

  • RocketSwitch on 19/10/2020 - 08:56

    Damn, would be nice to have a PS5 to trade my PS4 Pro over. Won't happen for some time.

  • JBucks on 19/10/2020 - 09:35

    I changed the HDD in my PS4 pro to a 500gb SSD when I first got it, and put the 1TB drive in my OG PS4 and sold it.

    So now I have a PS4 pro with a 500gb SSD. I'm assuming EB Games wont take that, and I need to find an OG PS4 Pro 1TB drive ??

    Does anyone have any experience trading a console with a modified HDD ??

    • pinkybrain on 19/10/2020 - 09:40

      wow that is a waste of an ssd if you give it to them

      did it improve the game loading or performance of the console?
      what SSD model is inside?

      They might not know or care if it is 500GB,
      they might just test if it loads a game or not.

      • JBucks on 19/10/2020 - 10:14

        Yeah it did improve the loading performance for sure. Games that loaded maps in multiplayer I'd always spawn first, sometimes 5-10 seconds faster.

        I can't recall the model of it, I pulled it out of an old work laptop. I'm happy to give it to them, I have no need for it and rather not shell out on another HDD just to put in to give to them if I don't have to.

        • pinkybrain on 19/10/2020 - 10:17

          if you got another laptop or ps3 etc

          just change the hdd with the ssd
          and keep it for the laptop or ps3

          if you can take it out and look
          please tell me the ssd model.

        I'll be honest pinkybrain, the EB staff didn't even check if my PS4 Pro turned on let alone check the hard drive.
        I only recall him checking the serial number on the box to the serial number to my console. No idea why. I didn't even think the box was necessary, it was just easier for me to carry in-store.

        • chyawala on 19/10/2020 - 13:40

          They will likely check the HDD is in there.

    • sh4hp on 19/10/2020 - 10:00

      I don't think they would care. But yeah, a waste of SSD.

      If you want to use it elsewhere, maybe purchase another 1TB HDD?

    • AssociatedThePriceMatchGuy @ EB Games Australia on 19/10/2020 - 12:12
      +1

      No issue here. Trade will be accepted against the serial number of the console (so it will trade as a PS4 Pro).

      if you don't mention the SSD upgrade, staff won't be of the wiser.. as long as the thing turns on and is in good knick!

      • pinkybrain on 19/10/2020 - 12:15

    Hard to tell whether this will necessarily be worth it.
    Anyone know if they will fix the prices for controllers and games? I imagine if everyone takes advantage of this you'd probably want to get in on day 1 to maximise the benefit, or do I have a misunderstanding of how EB sets their trade-in prices?
    Would appreciate any clarification here!

      • cjchristopher on 19/10/2020 - 11:59

        Good to know - do the prices fluctuate as a function of supply and demand for the traded items though? I was under the impression they did, and if so, will they continue to move during this promotion?

        • AssociatedThePriceMatchGuy @ EB Games Australia on 19/10/2020 - 12:06
          +6

          You're spot on there with fluctuation based on supply and demand. Although during this upcoming trade period (Nov 3-9) trade prices will remain the same. Expect them to change shortly after though.

          • cjchristopher on 19/10/2020 - 12:15

            @ThePriceMatchGuy: Great news - thanks for confirming that.
            Is there anyway to find out what those prices will be, or will we basically need to go into a store and ask on Nov 3?
            Oh also, re the consoles - I assume that deal is limited to one of each console type per person (i.e. you're not going to let someone trade in 3 PS4 pros if they happen to have that many, for example?)

  • justanick on 19/10/2020 - 20:51

    Hi guys I’ve got 1TB of ps4 pro console two genuine controllers how much do I get for PS5 console ? I still have a $50 deposit with engames for pre-order.
    So many offers around it’s confusing my simple mind

    • netsurfer on 19/10/2020 - 21:21

      It's confusing because if you paid $50 deposit, that means you are on the 2021 queue (unless you are one of those lucky few which progressed to the before the end of the year queue).

      Technically, the console doesn't need to be traded in before 31/01/2021. However, the games and accessories bonus ends much sooner. Will people be allow to trade in games and accessories first (still get the bonus) and at a later date trade in the console? Otherwise, the question becomes whether the games and accessories you are trading in for that slightly more bonus is worth forgoing your current console 3 months before you get your hands on your new console.

      • justanick on 20/10/2020 - 01:50

        that's great thank you for cleaning my doubts.
        Do you know if I can refund the ebgames $50 over the phone and withdraw my offer ?
        I got the PS4 on my birthday in March this year and do not want to sell this for so cheap at it was $450 for 1TB.
        I am after assassin's creed valhalla and Amazon is showing $68 I am happy to play that for few months and do not need the PS5. Where can I get this game cheaper ?
        Thank God for this PS4 I survived the lockdown and now the second phase of my mental anxiety !

        • netsurfer on 20/10/2020 - 10:13

          Yes, you can cancel the pre-order over the phone. However, I suggest you hold on to it until you sold your PS4 (Pro). Though the trade in deal may not be that great for console (due to current Covid-19 situation), you still get a guarantee that EB games will take it in the next 3 months at that price. Also, bear in mind the console trade-in part of the pre-order is optional.

          Realistically, when you look at this deal carefully, it is really for people lucky enough to score a launch day pre-order (unless they allow the console trade in part to be done later and still offer bonus for games + accessories trade in). Also, it is probably more beneficial for people trading in game accessories. Sure, we can get double the bonus per level for trading in games, but I know some of my games can only be traded in for $3 or less at EB (so after whatever bonus EB provides, still pretty lousy). Honestly, selling games to EB generally don't get you the best deals. EB is not offering trade in any 2 games for $20 each like they did for XBox One S to One X trade in deal this time (that was much better).

          • justanick on 20/10/2020 - 18:30

            I’m not even sure if I want a PS5 now as the games I want to play are getting available in PS4. Even if I sell my PS4 pro 1TB console I’ll get $300 max over eBay and PS5 is $729 a huge gap to fill in.

        Some of those games I havent even opened, mainly super cheap OzB deals. Anthem I think I paid $5

    • cjchristopher on 20/10/2020 - 16:52

      Interesting! Thanks for the list - I'd be curious to know how much Control is also being traded for currently if anyone happens to swing by an EB haha.

      Are trade-prices the same nation wide?

      • JBucks on 21/10/2020 - 10:19

        I'm unsure if trade prices are nation wide, but he did say the trade in price is a third of what they sell them for pre-owned. So I guess if you can find the pre-owned price on their site, divide it by a third and that should be your trade in price.

        • cjchristopher on 21/10/2020 - 10:21

          thanks - might be a little bit higher than 1/3? Red dead 2 for example is currently 58 preowned, so I'd expect 19 or 20 by that formula, but close enough I guess!

    • Sutra on 21/10/2020 - 22:03

      So after promotion, we would be getting double of that? Like $48 for Red dead redemption?

        no the % doubles so instead of $4.8 extra normally you'll get $9.6+$24 if youre lvl 4

    Any idea what the trade in value of a VR headset is?

      As above, the guy said trade in prices are a third of what they sell items for pre-owend. PSVR pre owned on their site is $268, so I'm guessing the trade in value would be roughly $90.

    OK none of this makes any sense as I have spoken to my local store and the only way I am getting the full $350 trade in for my XB1x is when I actually go to pick up my SX.
    I was told it has to be in 1 transaction for me to get the full $350.
    If anyone can confirm/deny it would be greatly appreciated, I wanted to go in earlier to beat the rush of having to wait for everyone to do the same thing on the same day of release.

    So since release day is 10th, how are we sposed to get the bonus which only apply from 3rd to 9th?

    • JBucks on 21/10/2020 - 10:22

      My understanding is the trade value of your console will be deducted from your pre-order. So yes its in "one transaction" but you can physically trade it all in earlier, then pay what's left on launch day.

      Hence the promotion from the 3rd to the 9th to encourage people to get their trades done early, so they aren't overwhelmed on launch day with people trying to trade as well as pick up new consoles.

      • [Deactivated] on 21/10/2020 - 10:59

        No I was told otherwise that you had to do the trade on the day, not before as I did indeed want to beat the rush.

        Can anyone clarify?, I actually have spoken to someone from a store on the phone so if anyone can confirm or deny, this would be good.

        • JBucks on 21/10/2020 - 11:13

          I spoke to my local store on the phone yesterday and this is exactly what he said. Makes sense with the promotion too. My hunch is the person you spoke to didn't know, or you misunderstood them.

          • [Deactivated] on 21/10/2020 - 11:19

            @JBucks: I never misunderstood them as I was quite specific about what I wanted to do.
            I stated that I wanted to come in before the console release, so I would just have to pick up the SX rather than trade at the same time waiting in line as everyone else on day of release.
            I stated I was happy to give up my XB1x a week earlier to make things easier, I was told that they had to do this in 1 transaction and they could not give me credit via gift cards.
            The conversation was pretty clear, my concern is they are out of the loop as then confirmed that they would see me on the day of release for trade.

            I might have a chat to the manager and see what he says.

              @[Deactivated]: Certainly sounds like it mate. That would be absolute chaos on launch day if they made you save your trade in until then.

              The guy I spoke to specifically mentioned store credit for trade in items, that comes off your pre-order balance. Not gift cards or anything.

        • xcess on 21/10/2020 - 18:59

          show them the email saying to complete your full payment in advance

          • [Deactivated] on 21/10/2020 - 19:11

              @[Deactivated]: Well yah they want you to trade your console with your accessories and games together to get the bonus during the VIP event. Which cant happen if they force you to trade on release date

            • JBucks on 22/10/2020 - 11:33

              @[Deactivated]: Yep that lines up with what I was told. Seems whoever you spoke to at your store didn't know or understand the promotion.

              • [Deactivated] on 22/10/2020 - 13:26

                @JBucks: Well then they should not be working there when it truly is simple information to convey.
                If you don't know, don't go making stuff up to suit your agenda, which is to get off the phone and do nothing in store.

                This is the 2nd time I have spoken to this person, next time I'll ask for the manager.

    If I have a Xbox one X and a PS4 Pro can I get the trade in value for both consoles Xbox series X and ps5
