GamerFitNation: Amazon is accepting Day One Xbox One consoles for trade-in, and the value of the trade-in is more than enough to buy a brand new PlayStation 4. Amazon will pay $427.50 for a Day One Xbox One, while a new PS4, if you can even find one — Amazon and many other retailers are currently sold out, unless you’re willing to pay a highly marked-up price — retails for $399.99.
Retail Fuse counts down the best gaming deals for Amazon.com's Prime Day.
It's been two weeks into the new year and you've been doing fantastic with those resolutions and goals! Why not save a little money with these killer deals on console games?
Amazon has some impressive and spooky deals across PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch just in time for Halloween!
"Amazon is buying Day One editions for 85% of the retail price, which is the same value they’re putting on standard edition PlayStation 4s. It seems like gamers aren’t placing as high a value on the Day One Xbox One as they’ve placed on Day One consoles in the past. This may be a result of Xbox One not doing as well expected, especially if those who bought a Day One console, who are usually the most dedicated to a console, aren’t as happy with the Xbox One as they thought they would be."
Hmm...the ps4 has a trade in value of $342....which is about the same 85% value. What does that mean? Perhaps 2 million out the gate is horrible for both. If the Xbox one was doing so bad, Amazon would not even give that much. Who ever submitted this article should be banned....flame bait at its best. Oh, and the value of the ps4 is $399.....not everybody has to pay tax.
There is not nearly enough buyer's remorse at this point on either side for this to be a worthwhile article. PS4 owners are happy with their choice, and Xbox owners are happy with theirs. Both consoles have wrinkles that are being ironed out, but by and large gamers are happy right now.
Why can't we just have an article which celebrates the enormous commercial success of both consoles and the fact that we as gamers have a very vibrant industry with at least two very competitive platforms?
Um, what is the point of this article? How is this useful information whatsoever for GAMERS that actually own and like their xbox one which is the majority of the 2 million+ people who own one.
I wouldn't trade in my launch games let alone my Xbox One
