Gamestop offering 360 Elite trade-ups

April 17, 2007 in News comments 2

Gamestop and EB games is offering 360 owners to upgrade to the soon released 360 Elite.

After getting various conflicting answers over the past few days regarding GameStop and EBGames trade-in programs for Xbox 360 owners to upgrade to the soon to be released 360 Elite, it has now been confirmed that they will indeed be offering greater trade-in credit for core, premium, and original Xbox systems to aid the purchase of the shiny new black system.

As late as yesterday I was getting reports from stores stating there would be no program, but today all of the stores I talked to yesterday have changed their tune, stating that the premium systems would be worth $250 (from $190), with cores fetching $200 and first-gen Xbox systems being worth $50.

The trade-in credit can be used towards anything, so if you were looking to offload an original Xbox, now would be the time.

I'll be seeing the GameStop manager who yesterday assured me there would be no trade-in program of any sort later today. If he winds up missing I was at your house the whole time.

    Only $250 for the premium? That won't be enough to convince my step-dad to upgrade to the Elite. I am just going to have to stick with my lil' premium system. =)

    Good idea, but premium should at least be worth $300, so it retains its $100 lead over the core system. I paid $400 for it, I should at least get $100 for a trade in over the core.
