Best Buy has a new deal running from Sunday, April 27 through Saturday, May 3. If you trade in a working PlayStation 3 or an Xbox 360, you will receive a $50 gift card, and a $50 coupon to use towards the purchase of an Xbox One.

In order for a trade-in console to be considered “working,” it must power on, still have the warranty seals in place, and not show any signs of major damage, including noticeable cracks. Other than that, if it works, you’ll receive $100 in credit and through a coupon that can be spent towards an Xbox One. You can always trade in the system and use the $50 gift card however you like, but the $50 coupon is specifically for the purchase of an Xbox One.

According to Best Buy, the deal is not available in all locations, so you may want to check with your local store before bringing your system in to trade. There is also a limit of one per customer, and this deal is not compatible with other deals.

The offer is similar to one that Microsoft hosted earlier in the year, where it also encouraged you to trade-in your PS3 or Xbox 360 at a local Microsoft store to receive $100 towards the purchase of an Xbox One, which currently sells for $499. Worldwide, Microsoft’s new system has shipped over 5 million units so far.

Best Buy is giving you a chance to buy the PS5 on November 7

The Playstation 5 system standing upright.

The PlayStation 5 was released in 2020, and since then, it has been hard to find just about anywhere. Even two years after its release, Sony's next-gen gaming console has been scarce at retailers, but if you've been dying to get your hands on a system, you might soon be in luck. Best Buy is offering shoppers a chance to buy the PS5 console starting at 12 p.m. ET/9 a.m. PT on Monday, November 7, but there is a catch: This offer is exclusive to those with a Best Buy Totaltech membership. Here's what you need to know.

The availability of the PlayStation 5 has been somewhat unusual, even in a period plagued with supply chain issues, computer ship shortages, and delivery delays. Most of those logistics problems have been cleared up by now, but for various reasons, Sony's next-gen console remains somewhat elusive. It hasn't been impossible to find, of course -- the PS5 has already sold more than 24 million units as of October 2022 (and has built up a solid library of PS5 exclusives in the process) -- but many shoppers have had to rely on signing up for email lists or keeping product pages bookmarked and checking them frequently in order to get lucky and catch one of these consoles when it becomes available.
