Thanks man! Ended up trading in a bunch of stuff along with my old PS4. Got like $780 store credit, wayyyy more than I was expecting.

Hey so I'm sitting on a copy of Call of Duty Cold War that I dont need because of a fairly cheap digital sale on PSN. Can anyone please tell me what this would trade in for if I trade in a group of 5? Thanks.
Also will PS3 games work in that group of 5. I have an extra copy of MGS4 for some reason I'd like to get rid of.

Just go to gamestops trade value page on their website, add up the totals for all 5, and then add 50%. All games seems to work, at least 360- now.
lol they dont even list it as a result for trade in value (mgs4)
If you find a PS5-friendly NVMe in-stock on GameStop.com, lemme know!
Took in an OG PS4, a PS4 Pro, 2 broken joy cons and a few games. Got almost $700. Pre-ordered Metroid, Alan Wake, Far Cry 6 and Battlefield (but I think I'll change this to CoD). And picked up, an Elite 2 controller, No More Heroes 3, Returnal and the rest on Xbox and PSN cards. Not bad for 2 consoles collecting dust.
Wait wait wait- nobody told me I could turn GameStop credit into Amazon money:

I haven't tried that myself, but I bet you would just get the base value, not the trade in credit value with bonus, as if you were getting cash.Wait wait wait- nobody told me I could turn GameStop credit into Amazon money:

You can't. GameStop is just one of several retailers that is able to take actual cash, and turn it into Amazon gift card balance. It does not do the same thing for GameStop trade credit.
The best you could do is get cash from the games/consoles you trade in, and turn it into Amazon credit. But that'd be pretty unwise given the current trade credit deals...
Huh. Ok, seems like they're begging for people to make the false assumption that they can get Amazon credit with trades, though 🤷
I tried to get Amazon bucks in store but no dice. Apple was good for me, thought it's not convenient for new release hardware b/c you have to enter every gift card number on the fly. You can't just load up a balance like with Microsoft.
Split mine between Apple, Steam, PSN, so far. I may grab some Nintendo and Microsoft before it's done.
Eh, if GameStop was the only one offering that service, I'd understand the confusion, but when it's paired up with the likes of CVS and what not, it's pretty clear IMO they're talking about actual cash.
Google shows me a handful of people just bought GameStop gift cards and then used those to buy Amazon bucks...
I just want to buy a PS5 NVMe, heh.
So:
GameStop Trade Card -> GameStop Gift Card -> Amazon bucks?
I guess if it works. I'd be afraid it's one of those things that gets you banned later b/c it wasn't intended.
It's confusing:
I simply tried to buy Amazon gift cards with the trade card. Perhaps this mechanism is legit.
Who knows. A lot of these Reddit/CheapassGamer/etc stories are from 3-4 years ago when the program first hit.
is the 50% more for controllers and stuff still live?? I want to trade in ps4 controller and some games in today after work
This used to be the case but hasn't for years now.It's confusing:
Usually yes. You'll need the console, the HDMI cord, the power cord and the controller. I think sometimes they'll still do the trade but they'll give you less money if you don't have everything.
Guess I need to find a new gamestop.
Tried to trade in xbox one x and ps4 pro and told me can only do one of them....

They're prob just being lazy, bring the other one back later or the next day
Yes.
You need the controller charging cord for full trade value too
Thanks for the help all.
I got 743$
Dinged me for a perfectly good controller with a small scuff on corner of product code on back of controller, still frustrated...guess I was just happy enough I could trade everything in after first gamestop store.

Till the 9th.
I literally did it a hour ago and receipt shows the bonus.
The 1tb WD 850 NVMe (PS5 friendly) is in stock, so I threw some of my trade credit at that.
Turned a PS4 Pro into:
1tb WD Black NVMe for PS5
Alan Wake
NHL 2022
Kena

Had no idea they sold that ssd. Is it with heat sink? Gonna have to keep an eye on it
Here you go: https://www.gamestop.com/gaming-acc..._black-sn850-nvme-ssd-drive-1tb/11114201.html
I got a $14 heat stink separately.
Think I'm gonna bring my spare PS4 controller in today. Seems I can get $27.50 for it. I'll ask about my monthly $5 coupon... that's $33.50 (for those keeping score at home).
Monster Hunter Rise is on sale for $36.99 used. I know what I'm doing with a few bucks in my bank account today.

Not bad. I have exactly $180 in GS credit. Now to buy now or wait for Black Friday? Hmm might not go lower than $180 for a while tho
Anyone trade in their PS4/pro with a bigger hdd in it? Wondering if they will check for that or if I have to swap them back
I did and they accepted it. I didn't call attention to it, but I really doubt anyone will complain about having a 2tb HD in their PS4 Pro.
