    A bit out of the loop, but what is happening? Got my PS5 disc for $606 in 2024. Why is EB games buying it at a premium? Surely they can't make much selling second hand with new being 1K.

    • cloudie9 on 17/04/2026 - 17:52

      Probably because the recent price hike of PS5/ Pro, suddenly, these old PS5 value spikes up too.

      Buying consoles at $749 and selling at $800 is still a profit and reduces the amount of secondhand consoles on the used market. Likely the strategy is to control the used market rather than actually make money off it.

      • zombrex on 17/04/2026 - 17:56

        And they make most money selling games, accessories, warranties, online games cards etc.

          +1

          But the units sent in after that will.

          Lots will still sell their PS5 consoles at a loss, given a fair amount of work is needed to get it ready for trade-in.

          2020 is not technically the benchmark is symbolic
          Because the offer includes slim disc edition

          The PlayStation 5 "Slim" was released in December, 2023

      • tanksinatra on 21/04/2026 - 08:45

        I'm thinking the same. They want to control the used market and collect a stash of PS5 Disc consoles so that they can keep selling discs and consoles and the like.

      PS5 generation is nearly at the end of its lifecycle.

      • ssfps on 18/04/2026 - 04:03
        +8

        "lifecycle" is meaningless when the hardware is barely improving these days, it's now just an arbitrary line in the sand enforced by software.

        • dongltron on 18/04/2026 - 08:18
          +1

          It’s enforced by a release cycle. The generational improvements have historically been very significant, though? The PS6 should be no different. Perhaps not as big a jump as PS4 to PS5, but these aren’t iPhones, and these aren’t releasing annually.

          • ssfps on 18/04/2026 - 14:40
            +2

            @dongltron:

            The generational improvements have historically been very significant, though?

            Not since 6th or 7th gen, no. Notice that:
            - The hardware became commoditised
            - Nintendo stopped competing on performance because that's a dead end.
            - Games now regularly ship on two gens with only slight graphical differences.
            - Within a gen there are multiple consoles from the same brand with different "improvements".

            At this point you're basically just buying rolling release low-end PCs with locked bootloaders and heavy-handed DRM-enforcing OS with limited functionality.

            • FireRunner on 19/04/2026 - 19:06

              @ssfps: I agree that the generations are arbitrary, Sony/MS/Nintendo could do a yearly or biennial hardware rolling release but they choose the traditional discrete generations (with a midlife cycle improvement).
              I reckon there are a couple reasons. The first being developers only need to optimise for one or two hardware configurations within a generation. The other, probably more important reason would be it makes it easier for the end consumer. If it says PS5 on the case, it will work with the my PS5, regardless if it's the original, slim or pro.
              Nintendo did have some "New" 3DS exclusive titles but eventually patched it so they could be played on any 3DS.
              The rolling model could potentially be more profitable from a hardware sales point of view but it would stratify the hardware in such a way it would be a pain for non-tech savy users who just want to game. Like this game works with PlayStation 2023 , this works with PlayStation Pro 2020 but not Base 2020, you'll need the latest 2026 PlayStation for this game, etc.

              • ssfps on 19/04/2026 - 23:32

                @FireRunner: You're right re the main consumer point now being relatively static/few development/performance targets, but i'm not convinced that actually matters. Very few games aren't already cross platform, so most console games are still targeting 2 or 3 xboxes, 2 or 3 playstations, possibly a nintendo or two, and then PC on top of that (with all the scaling/LOD work anyway).

                How many AAA games are only targeting one or two consoles these days? (Eg, only xbox X, or only ps5 pro?)

                • FireRunner on 20/04/2026 - 07:59
                  +1

                  @ssfps: There’s none that would target a single console, it would be a minimum of the base and Pro of the same generation (which is definitely a good thing, having a fragmented library of the same generation would suck).
                  It still reduces since its max 2 consoles per generation for each platform. Each platform doing an annual or biennial hardware release would require significantly more targets
                  As mentioned, I think the developers are the lesser of two reasons anyway. Having a clear product and lineup for the end user is the more important.

        • mayo on 19/04/2026 - 06:44
          +1

          Agreed. I find it interesting that technically on paper the PS5 Pro offers ~50% faster rendering and better ray tracing over the base PS5 but the game experience doesn't really change THAT much at all.

          • ssfps on 19/04/2026 - 23:30

            @mayo: That's the main driver IMO, diminishing gameplay/graphics improvements per performance increase, and diminishing performance increases due to moores law dying (and dennard scaling dying 20 years ago, around seventh gen).
            Thus, diminishing returns squared!

      The newborn might push you to game more often. Best feeling is settling in to a nice game as the newborn sleeps on you in a carrier or even in your arms depending on the type of game.

      I've been playing Expedition 33 and really enjoying it. Only started because the newborn meant I'm home more often and spending time looking after bub.

    But of course I had to go and buy a year of that PS+ mega deluxe top tier level thing a few months ago to try and be motivated to play it.

    So far I played it for like a week and a half, platinum'd a few choice PS1/PS2/PSP games, and haven't touched it since early March. :'(

        We use the Xboxes every day, but a lot of that is your bog standard Netflixing, kid show streaming, DVDs, etc. and not a boatload of actual gaming. Like we do play games, a lot even, but it's mostly 9 times out of 10 stuff that could be (or is) on last gen, Fortnite, and the sort.

        The whole gen is pretty trash, yeah. I like all three consoles, but I liked all three predecessors too, and these just feel like better versions of those. Series X is fantastic, quick resume is great, all that jazz…but no games worth buying on it. PS5 is a PS4 that looks prettier and loads faster, which is all you'd really want…but no games worth buying on it. Switch 2 is bigger, comfortable-r, higher res/definition, all that…but I already have Mario Kart 8 on Wii U, so…

        I've recently been getting back into Dreamcast and it's been so fun. And I have long since lost count of how many emulator consoles I have. Retro shit is the best shit, my dude. 100% with you

    • 11112007 on 17/04/2026 - 19:55

      I think this is the real reason they are doing this. Building up enough pre-owned stock for GTA6 launch.
