    Does this controller have any extra or hidden features or is it just a standard controller?

    • matictac on 09/10/2021 - 11:20

      They haven't said anything is different about it, just a special colour controller.
      Edit: I stand corrected.

        Are you referring to the background you unlock?

          Yup.

      yeah, "As an extra added bonus, connecting the controller to any Xbox Series X or S console unlocks a special 20th-anniversary dynamic background."

      This is the 4th generation controller, if you have any earlier models, this one might be a solid upgrade, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_Wireless_Controller
      Versus gen 1, it has bluetooth, 3.5mm audio jack, share button, improved D-pad, USB-C connector instead of Micro-USB, tactile grip on trigger buttons and underside, etc

        Is the included controller with the Series X model a gen 4?

        • Rapt0r on 09/10/2021 - 13:51

          That's right gen 4

    Great opportunity to get rid of my ugly Minecraft controller! Thanks OP

    • brandogs on 09/10/2021 - 12:12

      Depending on the wear. You would be better off selling it privately, they are going for $75+ pre-owned.

      • guidedlight on 09/10/2021 - 12:15

        Wow, really. I’ll check it out.

        • brandogs on 09/10/2021 - 14:42

          Quick eBay search for 'Minecraft Xbox One controller' and then refine results to only include "pre-owned" and "sold listings" gives you an idea of what it's worth.

  • Movember20 on 09/10/2021 - 11:35

    What's the process here, just preorder online and when it comes out bring your old controller to trade? Is there a need to call the store to lock in the trade?

    • ode1online on 09/10/2021 - 12:30
      +4

      Once select click and collect at the store you want to Buy it from
      And you pay $10 Deposit
      When its released you take your trade in then and Pay the balance minus the Trade value depending on your Level
      No need to inform them prior to arriving

        that's great thanks

  • TheDukeOfNukem on 09/10/2021 - 11:53

    Wander if they'd take a corded Xbox one remote, about the only way I'd pay 60 bucks for the privilege of giving them a remote to get one back.

    Edit: nope :'(

  • GerrardLFC on 09/10/2021 - 12:00

    Can I trade in a XBox 360 controller with this deal?

    • hollykryten on 09/10/2021 - 12:06
      +1

      Those aren't worth much. They won't take it. It would have to be an Xbox One controller.

  • sh4hp on 09/10/2021 - 12:01

    How do people in lockdown get trade deals though?

    I.e. Farcry has a trade deal that ends before lockdown is lifted.

    • hollykryten on 09/10/2021 - 12:08

      I guess they won't be.

    • silverrat23 on 09/10/2021 - 12:43

      Pre-order now by paying the $10 deposit and paying full price via click and collect. Once lockdown ends, trade in the old controller by mentioning the promo and get a refund.

      They are of this and will allow exceptions due to this. Call your local if you need further confirmation.

      • sh4hp on 09/10/2021 - 13:04

        Nice.

        Thanks mate!

  • hollykryten on 09/10/2021 - 12:12

    Yeah it has to be an original Xbox One or Xbox Series controller. And it must be in reliable condition. Which means no counterfeits either. And it means no missing buttons, thumb sticks and all the buttons must work. You can't trade in your old broken down crap. I wonder how much bogans will try to trade in their old broken controllers or their counterfeits.

    • Dienk on 09/10/2021 - 23:41

      Bogans will try and they will get it trade. If you take a controller missing something they charge a $3 fee for refurbishment.

      Stop spreading wrong information.

      I traded in an Xbox One that didn’t boot properly without constantly resetting it and they didn’t care or charge me extra. Just shrugged the shoulders and took it.

  • spirrowhack on 09/10/2021 - 12:16

    Thanks dude, been wanting to get rid of my older controller. Used a 6% off gift card from Suncorp too.

  • sk3iron on 09/10/2021 - 12:40

    Can probably sell the controller second hand on the open market for more than the difference, ebgames trade-in always been a scam but I guess people are lazy

    • silverrat23 on 09/10/2021 - 12:45

      A lot of old controllers won't fetch for much more than this promo.

    • FabMan on 09/10/2021 - 13:12

      Scam? Businesses wants to make a profit, that is why they exist. If they gave you more for it, they couldn't sell the controller at anything but a loss.

      • sk3iron on 09/10/2021 - 13:29

        Clearly you haven't checked the prices on gumtree/marketplace recently, prices start at $50 (at least here in WA) for the most banged up rubbish.

        • FabMan on 09/10/2021 - 21:47
          +3

          Right and at level 5 they'll give you $51 dollars for it. Now remember they'll ship each one off to an office to be tested and cleaned, ship back to a store and give the purchaser a 3 month warranty. They'll sell a controller to you for $68, so that is $17 for shipping, testing, listing online, stocking, selling, and warranty. Then they get stuck with old stock that no one wants too, look at all those Skylanders and old games that stay for years.

          Hardly seems like a scam to me. Have you ever run a business or been self employed yourself? Try running a business yourself and see if $17 is a scam. With no level I think you are losing out. Good idea to price match stock and get bargins with them with an ID until you get to level 2 or 3 before you do these type of deals.

    This colour scheme reminds me of the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller.

  • beatsntoons on 09/10/2021 - 12:53

    Nice, thanks!

    Edit: is this purely for in-store? I can’t see the option to select a trade in option online when pre-ordering

    Edit 2, never mind just saw the posts above

  • billybob2015 on 09/10/2021 - 14:23

    I did not think they did the bonus with these deals, they did not with games.

    • brandogs on 09/10/2021 - 14:36

      This is considered an accessory, different rules apply to hardware (consoles) and games. States in T&C's that EB World bonuses are allowed:

      Not to be combined with any other offers except EB World

      Was the same with the previous trade-in deal when Xbox Wireless Controllers were first released last year.

  • Lockdude on 09/10/2021 - 14:28

    Question, I have an xbox One s that I use veeery casually. Is this controller backwards compatible with the xbox One s?

    • Rapt0r on 09/10/2021 - 14:31

      Yep will work, no dramas

      • Lockdude on 09/10/2021 - 14:31

        Legend, might bite the bullet and go for the upgrade then :)

  • Penpinch on 09/10/2021 - 14:40

    Thanks OP, exactly what i was looking for. Got a sticky controller and ordered this on Amazon. Now switched to EB for the trade in.

  • raybies on 09/10/2021 - 15:58

    Oh great, thanks for making me feel old. Seems like just a couple years ago I was installing 120GB drives w/ XBMC in my XBOX.

    • couger on 09/10/2021 - 18:10

      I still have my xbox installed with xbmc sitting in the cabinet, together with xbox 360, xbox one and series x.

  • enwar on 09/10/2021 - 17:20

    Whats resaleable condition? Like the rubber on my joystick is a bit warn would that work?

    • Dienk on 09/10/2021 - 23:46

      Yes. Discounting $3 fee to fix it.

  • Valowick on 09/10/2021 - 19:01

    Heard that xbox one controller only gets you $20 off not $35. Need to trade a xbox series for $35

    • driew on 09/10/2021 - 19:07

      Both of those prices are a rort. I'm sure you can sell the Xbox One for $50 at least.

      • hollykryten on 09/10/2021 - 19:27

        How else do you think they get their used controller sale profit.

    • ode1online on 09/10/2021 - 20:33

      EB posted in Twitter "You can trade in your Xbox One or Xbox Series X controller to take advantage of this offer!" its doesn't mention a difference in trade value.

      • Valowick on 09/10/2021 - 21:17

        Brother asked an employee. He said it was $22 off for Xbox one controller. Not sure if he's right or not. But I wouldn't be surprised if there's fine print to this deal.

        • brandogs on 09/10/2021 - 21:33

          Nope. The base trade value for each controller is about a $10 difference however for this promotion you can trade either controller to get it for $64 which you would be better off trading in an Xbox One controller so you get the best value

          • Valowick on 10/10/2021 - 07:39

            @brandogs: Good to know. Hopefully it’s just a misunderstanding.

  • BundyDanger on 10/10/2021 - 08:02

    This seems like a bit of a rip-off for just an upgrade in colour. I suppose if you like to collect these things it helps though. Guess they have to make money somehow on trades.

  • kabammi on 10/10/2021 - 08:50

    Will they take trade ins of OG Xbox Controllers?
    Keep with the theme

  • djwookie on 18/10/2021 - 16:31

    Thanks for posting OP, however you have incorrectly calculated the EB world bonus, its calculated on the difference of $35.95 not the amount you pay after trade.Update post if you wish.

    EB World Level 2 10% Bonus = Trade Value $39.55; Remainder to Pay $60.41
    EB World Level 3 15% Bonus = Trade Value $41.34; Remainder to Pay $58.61
    EB World Level 4 20% Bonus = Trade Value $43.14 ; Remainder to Pay $56.81
    EB World Level 5 25% Bonus = Trade Value $44.94; Remainder to Pay $55.01

    • brandogs on 18/10/2021 - 16:36

      Not sure how you worked out those calculations. It's exactly the same mathematical calculations from this deal. Going by the comments the price is correct.

      You most likely had an EB employee who didn't put the deal through right.

      • djwookie on 18/10/2021 - 23:47

        The price to pay on the deal you linked is $49 before bonus less than the $64 before bonus on this deal.

        • brandogs on 18/10/2021 - 23:51

          I'm aware the linked deal is $49 and this deal is $64. I'm talking about the mathematical calculations from both deals are exactly the same.

          I see what you mean where you added 20% to the total savings figure compared to me taking 20% off the deal price. I'll get confirmation from an EB Games Rep
