Best Buy's PS4 trade in promo can make a PS5 or PS5 Pro much cheaper, especially when the $100 bonus stacks with the console value and the right SKU is in stock. The strongest reports show smooth in store pickups, quick scans, and totals around $300 to $325 for a PS5 Slim or about $380 to $508 for a PS5 Pro, with some orders also benefiting from PayPal cash back or gift card discounts. The main friction is that the trade in option only appears on certain listings, stock moves fast, and some stores need manager help or a return and repurchase to apply the credit. A solid upgrade path if you can match the right listing and process.

  • In-store trade-ins can generate the $70 trade-in value and the $100 coupon quickly using barcode scanning and a visual damage check.

  • Online trade-in attachment can place a hold for the full PS5 price and then credit the $170 back after the trade-in is approved in store.

  • The deal can be stacked with additional savings like AMEX $25 off and DoorDash 10% off Best Buy gift cards.

  • Some shoppers report that the Ghost of Yōtei bundle deal worked as stated and helped them secure a PS5 upgrade through the trade-in offer.

  • The trade-in attachment option depends on the exact PS5 SKU, and the wrong listing can show no trade-in option for shipping or pickup.

  • Fortnite bundle availability can sell out quickly, which can block the online attachment workflow and force an in-store return and repurchase workaround.

  • Controller condition can be a weak point, with stick drift expected over time based on controller durability concerns.

  • The $100 promotional credit can be delayed, missing, or confusing in account breakdowns even when the $70 trade-in refund posts quickly.

I bought the Fortnite one online after submitting the tradein for 500GB PS4. Went to store to pick up, they were able to apply the $70 tradein and $100 coupon, but doing the return and repurchase, all done in 10 mins. I hope this helps you! Thanks
How did you submit the trade in online for the 500gb model? I can't find it

It seems like they just force you to buy the $649 one, that's the only one available for the $170 trade in offer

With the ridiculous pricing for this console, the credit still doesn't seem that great. I'll still be forking over $280 which is more than I bought the PS4 for and it wasn't this late into its cycle. What makes it worse is the lack of content. There is nowhere near the amount of great games that you had in the last gen. I honestly don't know what game I'm eager to play outside of GTA 6. I'd be buying this immediately if the game library was better.
Game library matters esp the exclusive one. The PS5 has FAR LESS exclusive games to choose from. I'm not impressed with the PS5.

Is the deal dead? Not seeing the slim model with the trade in option. I remembered seeing it a couple hours ago.

This is clearly good but I still think I'm going to pass. $280+tax to upgrade. I'll take my chances on something before the 6 comes out
Same here. $325 after tax for the PS5 disc at the expense of trading in PS4 1TB SSD doesn't sounds great. The PS5 won't age well compared to PS4 Pro

Anybody know if I can trade in both a PS4 and PS5 at the same time?
You can only trade in one item for the $100 bonus.

You can trade in the ps5 separately for $200.

Anyone know exactly what we need to bring for the trade-in? PS4 + Controller + Power Cable?
I know Gamestop is very particular about have the HDMI and charging cables? Are these required for BestBuy as well?

Quote from pchanman View quoted comment :
I've always wondered, what happens to the traded in product in these types of deals? Do you think Best Buy will refurbish and sell or just dump them to a 3rd party ?
Always wondered the same thing. When you trade in phones I do think they refrub the higher end Samsungs, Iphones, etc and probably sell them back in the 3rd world. Same with higher end IPads and Samsung tablets.

But what about all those absolutely unsupported models. Amazon just gave 20% off a new Echo for my 10 year old Echo 1. Or that tablets and low end phones that stopped getting updates years ago. And you won't be able to sell a PS4 to the 3rd world or even EBay bargain bin wholesalers when it will be unsupported worldwide in a year.

My guess is they just "recycle" (landfill) them, because they'd rather ensure that enough users are on the latest models so they can continue to sell games, accessories, online accounts, etc. ven if they break even on theain hardware.

Can anyone describe the trade in process? Do they turn on the machine and check the storage etc? I have launch model and later upgraded it to 1TB, so the serial or upc may indicate otherwise.

Not sure if my local store will do that for me.... don't want to waste the time to drive up there and get nothing but already wipe out my PS4.....
Yep about the only game I still play on my PS4 is modern warfare 2019, and it still requires 100GB updates every few months (always right before I feel like playing too).

No way in hell I'm wiping this PS4 for the chance to save $100. It would take me 3 days to download all my games and sign in to all my streaming apps, etc.
