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.

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!
500 GB is fine, they do not verify I was simply asked do I know if it's 500GB or 1TB, I told the truth which yielded $150, could've said 1TB and they would've added $20 more bucks, but be not how I roll

Sup peeps.

Just got back from Bestbuy and this is how it went.
I had a PS4 (Fat) Batman Edition (Grey 500gb) with a grey controller. This thing was dusty and dirty. The controller was messed up but in working condition.
The cashier was saying he could not locate this version of the PS4. He did a little more work and found it. I was trying to get $70 but ended up get $50 for it.
The cashier did not know about the deal Bestbuy was having and neither did the managers. He was trying to tell me that I had to do the trade in online. I showed him this link (https://www.bestbuy.com/trade-in/...7zdM2VcwU0) and pointed to the instructions for "In Store". He was also trying to say that it was for the PS5 Pro only. Again, I pointed to where it said "PS5 or PS5 Pro".
After about an 45 minutes, he figured out how to do the deal.
They need to print two documents. 1. for the $100 discount on the new PS5 (which ever you choose to get). 2. For the trade in of your PS4 in the value of $50 (remember, this all depends on what version you have).
You must do the following for this to work
  1. sign both documents
  2. add your finger print for each document
  3. Scan your Drivers license.
    Once thats done, the cashier prints out another document that has the barcode with the $100 discount off a PS5. The money for your PS4 will be in form of a gift card.
    After all that, I ended up walking out with a PS5 Slim with disc and ended up paying just $320.
    So to answer some questions,
    Can it be any PS4?
    -Yes, it can be any PS4.
    What to bring in with your PS4.
    -I brought in the controller, power cable and HDMI (Not the og one, I had an extra one lying around)
    Do you need the OG controller?
    -No, just as long as you bring a controller.
    Will they do the trade if you dont have a controller?
    -Not sure, I brought one just in case.
    Payments you get.
    -A printed out $100 gift certificate towards any PS5 they have.
    -A Gift card with the amount of $70 (depending on what PS4 you have).
    Do you need to use a credit card as payment?
    -No, I used straight cash.
    Will they turn on your old PS4?
    -No. They really dont care.
Before I went to bestbuy, I stopped by gamestop to see how much they'd give me for my PS4. First off, the guy working there acted like hes a god because he works at gamestop. Had major attitude because I asked to get a trade in value. He connected the PS4 and the controller. He tested the controller and said it wasnt working properly. Then said he needed to send it to texas to get it fully tested and could not give me a quote.
like many have said, avoid them at all cost. Just do the deal with bestbuy.
Please feel free to ask any questions if you have any. Thanks.

You will get a refund. I used PayPal online and the refund email was in my inbox as soon as I left store
My order still shows "ready for pickup" online and not completed, not sure why it's taking so long but it's good to hear that the refund should process right away when it does complete. Thanks for the info!

When you ordered for pick up- which console did you choose and were you able to get the option to trade in? I've tried 3 different bundles and same one as yours yet I do not get an option to trade in
I chose the Slim disc version but there are two different SKUs. One that has the trade in option and one that doesn't. Of course the one with the trade in option has been sold out and unavailable for pickup everywhere the past couple of days. I set up a bestbuy notification for the one that allows trade in and just happened to be up at 1am when it alerted and was actually available 20 miles from me

Is there a use by date on the $100 trade in? Could I wait to see if other models come back in stock or do you have to use it on the spot?

Go to best buy site and search ps5 and click the result and it will show trade in option and ready for pick up or shipping. Don't use the link in the original note. That still shows sold out
