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.

Agreed. Just traded in my pro and bought the 5 w disc in store. Kind of wish I had my ps4 pro back. At least I remembered to swap my 2tb crucial ssd out beforehand
That's exactly what I did - upgraded to an SSD to squeeze more life out of it, and like you, can easily take it out and repurpose.
I'm not a young dad; I can understand someone who games a lot more than I do seeing the benefit of a PS5

Thanks OP! I just traded in my PS4 500GB in store today. All of the employees I talked to were familiar with the trade-in promo. Technically my PS4 was originally a 500GB model that I had since upgraded with 1TB SSD, but I'm not sure it matters? As he was ringing up the PS5, the associate asked if my PS4 was 500GB or 1TB and I just said 1TB. Then he gave it a quick physical once-over and didn't ask any questions or power it on, etc. Pretty smooth process overall, and I got the impression this particular associate had done more than a few of these trade-ins.

Just had a similar experience today. Did you receive the extra $100 refund yet?
The $100 credit is shown on my reciept as a coupon but for the other $70 credit the associate took a new BB gift card, loaded it with $70, and then applied that to my purchase. So my total was $349 + tax ($28), but after the $70 gift card was applied my net cost/payment was $308.

I just went back in and spoke with a manager and he said the additional $100 credit processes as a refund later because I made the purchase online. I guess I'll have to wait and see and hope he's correct.
Definitely sounds like the easier process is doing everything in store. Unfortunately, the trade-in promo wasn't showing for me online except with a single in-store location and I thought it'd work best doing it online before going through the hassle of clearing the PS4 storage and bringing it in.

For those of you with a PS4 Pro, Id encourage you to look into the hacking scene before trading your Pro in. Unless you've been currently playing it, pretty darn good chance you'll be on a firmware that is exploitable. It isn't hard work to do either but it sure does open up a ton of possibilities. Personally, I hacked mine and gave it to a kid down the road to enjoy. That was worth more than the $170 or whatever BB would have gave me.

I placed an order for the slim one but after a couple of hours received an email saying it is out of stock and I need to select another store. It shows out of stock everywhere. I will go to store tomorrow to see what I can do.
Same thing happened to me. Went to the store hoping they would just use the online order for the elevated credit card/online shopping rewards but they said they couldn't do that or mobile checkout via the app since it won't show in their system as being available for pickup due to differing SKUs…had to be done all in store.
Lost some cashback but as long as they have them in the stock, you'll be able to complete the trade in.

Hello everybody! Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving... Question for you all.

Does it "have" to be the 1TB that you're trading in, or can it be the 500GB A model? I've seen multiple people claiming they've traded theirs in without verification that it's a 1TB, and on the BB trade-in site, it doesn't say 1TB - it just drops down to a Playstation 4 only. Any help would be much appreciated. Clarification - I will be doing this in-store, the item is in stock, I will be trading in an A model 500GB PS4, and the store is 40 minutes from me, so I'd like to have all of my ducks in a row before proceeding there this weekend. Thanks!

Did you just say it was the 1tb version or they didn't care to verify or ask?

The person handling my trade-in didn't ask, she was more concerned that I didn't bring an HDMI cord and had to check with a supervisor that it was okay (it was).
