GameStop will pay you $69 to ditch PlayStation for Xbox

GameStop, famous for its unpredictable stock activity, is now paying customers to switch from PlayStation to Xbox consoles.

GameStop is known for its funny promotions to attract customers, like letting people trade in almost anything. Their newest campaign is particularly surprising: they’re actually encouraging people to trade in their PlayStation 5 consoles.

GameStop announced on X (formerly Twitter) that PlayStation owners can trade in their consoles and receive an Xbox Series S. They’re offering $69 for the trade-in, encouraging people who are tired of their PlayStation to switch to Xbox.

Bored of your PlayStation?

Trade for an Xbox and leave with $69 more.

You can get $69 plus the trade-in value of your PlayStation at GameStop when you switch to an Xbox Series S. It’s a way to easily move from PlayStation to Xbox in the ongoing console competition.

However, this offer has a few requirements. It’s good only until April 4, 2026, and you need to be a current Pro Member to take advantage of it. Like all trade-ins, the console must be complete and working properly.

It’s a funny take on the ongoing competition between PlayStation and Xbox, and while the details explain the $69 price as the difference in value between a PlayStation 5 Slim and a refurbished Xbox Series S, it’s clearly a playful nod to a popular internet meme.
