Switch from Xbox One to PS4 for $150

Published

A new deal makes it possible to correct the mistake of which console you bought without shelling out big bucks. A new offer from GameStop makes it possible to switch from Xbox One to PS4 or switch from PS4 to Xbox One for $150 when you trade in your current console.

When the Xbox One and PS4 released two years ago, many gamers bought the console that made most sense at the time, but over the last two years countless software updates, exclusives and feature changes may have left some gamers with regret.

A new trade-in promotion promises $200 for your Xbox One or PS4 at GameStop in credit and if you choose cash you can get $160.

Switch PS4 to Xbox One

Assuming you want to buy a new console this allows gamers to switch for $150 to the current bundles that include a PS4 or Xbox One, a controller and at least one game. It’s even cheaper to switch if you want to buy a pre-owned console, which you can find for as low as $289 for the Xbox One and $319 for the PS4, but these don’t include games.

One missing part of the promotion is any way to quickly swap out your game library. If you own your games on disk you can trade-in and buy a used copy of the same game, but you will likely end up spending more than you make in credit. If you own digital games they will stay associated with your account on that console. There is no way to resell a digital game.

One of the reasons some users may want to switch to PS4 is that there is an impressive catalog of games coming in 2016 and Sony is on a roll of locking down exclusive access to added items and currently promises faster access to all of the Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 DLC than you will get on Xbox One or PC.

    Look at that fan boy baiting headline. Wouldn’t “Exchange your PS4’s or Xbox One’s for $150” point to the author having more journalistic integrity but it’s the internet and it’s all about those clicks. I love the little promo for PS4 having COD DLC near the end. Considering the rival console offers superior exclusives, media integration controllers, voice navigation, online infrastructure as well as native backwards compatibility. Yet the PS4 bandwagon rolls on and the uninformed public lap it up because of “opinions” like this that try to give the consumer a little nudge in Sony’s direction. It’s pathetic when the comment section is better written and provides more information than the actual so called “article”.
