Trade Your PS3 at Gamestop

[Gameboy 11]

Thanks to my wife, I just traded my PS3 this afternoon at Gamestop and bought a PS4 for $230.00. You can get $175.00 for the PS3 and I also traded in my extra controller. I think this is good until Wednesday. Just an idea if anyone is on the fence. I thought I was going to have to wait until next year to enjoy The Show on the PS4.

Which PS3 model was it? I have the most recent super slim (500 GB), but when I went to the Gamestop website it said the trade-in value was only $75. Strangely, they don't have the 500 GB super slim model which is what I have.

EDIT: Ok, I see the trade-in special now. They are indeed offering a $175 credit towards a new PS4 when you trade in a PS3 with 120 GB+ hard drive. Thanks for pointing this out!!

Wow that is a good deal. Man I just don't know if its worth it I have the Xbox one and if I did get a Ps4 I don't know how many games I would play on it outside of the Show and Uncharted. This definitely makes the decision harder.

I got my PS3 two years ago. I thought it was 250GB, but I could be wrong. Wouldn't hurt to bring it to them and see if you are interested.

Oh you guys are lucky, living in the EU rules this option out. Id go for this deal in a heart beat.

Anyone else gone this route...?

Seems like a pretty good deal and could persuade me to make the jump...

That seems to be the best value I have seen yet since PS4 release....

PS4's at Gamestop are at least $399 plus tax, so you still have to pay over $225 after this trade in. Still a decent deal. It'd be better if you could get this on a some of the PS4's being sold at other stores for around $300 on sale.

Agreed. Would love to trade in for same price and cheaper buying price at another store... But it still appears to be the cheapest route I have seen to a PS4 since it's release.....
