If for whatever reason you want to get rid of that $500 Xbox Series X or $300 Xbox Series S you literally just bought, here’s how much you can get.
GameStop is offering $300 in store credit and $240 in cash for the Xbox Series X trade-in. If you want to get rid of your Xbox Series S, you’ll be getting even less. The Xbox Series S trade-in value is $175 in store credit and $140 for cash. If you have a spare controller you want to get rid of, you’ll get $33 in store credit. Obviously, there probably isn’t any reason to sell your Xbox Series X right now. Maybe if you see a PS5 and would rather have that, you could trade in your Series X for it.
You’ll be getting about 60% of your money back if you trade in an Xbox Series X for store credit. If you opt for cash, you’ll be getting less than 50%. We have no idea how long GameStop will maintain this value for the next-gen console but given supply is low, it could last well into 2021.
Some Amazon customers were notified that they won’t get their Xbox pre-orders until December due to low stock. GameStop will have a limited amount of extras for in-person purchases on Black Friday. Whether or not you’ll see any used ones remains to be seen but we doubt they’ll be discounted. If they are, it won’t be by very much at all.
GameStop also recently partnered with Microsoft to help revitalize their stores. Purely speculative but it seems Microsoft is treating them generously with Xbox stock across their stores. If you want a next-gen Xbox, GameStop will probably be the place to go for the coming months.
Xbox Series X and Series S are out now. We’ll have a review of Series X up on the site in the near future.
