GameStop has launched a limited-time trade-in deal for Xbox Series X consoles, offering up to $420.69 in store credit to customers who participate. The deal is available through April 26 and requires an active GameStop membership, specifically the Pro membership which costs $25 annually.
The promotion appears to be legitimate, with some users reporting successful sales of their Xbox Series Xs for the stated amount. According to a store employee on the GameStop subreddit, customers have been coming in to take advantage of the deal, and even GameStop pros are receiving the full amount of $420.69 in trade credit.
GameStop is running low on used Xbox Series X units and can still sell them for well over the new trade-in value, making this a lucrative opportunity for those looking to upgrade or sell their console. The deal is likely an added incentive for those who were already considering boycotting Xbox due to its partnership with the Israeli military.
Some fans may have been deterred by Microsoft’s involvement in the alleged war crimes, prompting BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) to call on people to boycott Xbox’s consumer-facing gaming division. However, for those who have already been disenchanted with their Xbox Series X, this deal presents a compelling reason to move on.
