What's the best way to go about this? In the past, I waited until AFTER I had my new console set up at home before trading in my old console, and I'd just accept cash at a lower value, since I generally only purchase games digitally. This time around, I'd like to try pre-ordering from GameStop or some other company with physical store locations and arranging for an IN-STORE PICK-UP, at which point I could hopefully also trade in my old console for a higher value that could be put toward my new console purchase. I'm only using GameStop as an example, of course. From your experience, what's the best way to go about doing a trade-in this way? I usually just pre-order consoles online, but am I correct in assuming that I'd need to pre-order by calling/visiting a store if I want to pick up a pre-order in person? Which companies are more reliable for this?
