Wow. Pro store credit for trading in my physical copy of spider man 2 is $38.50..

So if I trade in my original console and physical copy of spider man 2, it's only $26.50 for the slim + a digital copy of the game and a new warranty/new controller. Sounds like a win.

I thought the slim was supposed to be inferior to the original console ? I just built my PC and was trying to sell my PS5 but have had trouble selling it for $300. Think im going to trade it in and sit on the credit. Maybe the PSVR 2 headset will become compatible with PC later this year.

Can't you still get at least $400 for just selling one on marketplace?

Extra 150ish gigs and smaller form, much better for travelling worth the upgrade for me. Didn't have to reinstall games either just swapped SSD to new console and went back to playing

Traveling? Do you frequently travel with a ps5? Confused


Do you use an external SSD? Plug and play? Is it easy to install games exclusively to an external drive alone?


I am a PS5 noob so these are genuine questions. Haha

I did this trade in a few days ago. The slim PS5 is really loud compared to the original. You can Google this. I'm definitely disappointed in that regard.
Agree with this, this is the nature of the beast though: the smaller you make devices, the more heat they will generate and will need additional cooling to compensate. It's not like they changed any of the major components inside. I'll keep my original just so I don't have to deal with GS (see MintX's comment above, I've also had run-ins with their staff like this).

I hope they'll have this when the pro comes out. They probably get some sort of incentive from Sony when they sell units.

The heavily rumored PS5 Pro is supposed to be coming out around Q3-Q4 of this year.
Even if GameStops trade in value is $300 by then, it will still be worth the upgrade.

EDIT: Nevermind; it's the digital version, no disc drive. You likely don't want this version if you enjoy buying games at slick deals Smilie

GameStop now selling this console bundle for $399, not the $449 referenced in this original post!

The slim has a slimmer chip (new process or whatever) too so slightly less heat, but they skimped hard on the heatsink to save money and size so you end up getting less cooling with no real gains but it sounds like more fan noise in a smaller box. Still you would get the new console unboxing feel with a new controller and Spider-man 2 for your trouble.

That's the digital edition for $399 unless you have a link for the disc one at $399? Important unless you want to lose your disc drive in the upgrade.
