EB Games have a PS5 trade-in offer starting today that seems insane in the world of escalating console prices. The first 2,020 people to return their PS5 Disc (Original) or PS5 Disc (Slim) console will receive $749.95 cash or in-store credit. That’s what you’d have paid for a PS5 back when it launched. Not too shabby whatsoever. You can take advantage of the offer HERE.

So you don’t then go home PlayStation-less, EB Game are offering those taking them up on the offer unlock the opportunity to upgrade to a brand new PS5 Pro for just $620 or PS5 Slim for $220. It’s worthwhile considering if you were weighing up an upgrade, or if you PS5 is gathering dust.

An EB Games poster on a blue, textured background with jagged comic-book-style white and black lines. The poster is an "EB World Plus Exclusive Offer". The large white text at the top says "STARTS MONDAY 20 APRIL!". A retro rotary phone receiver is to the left of the yellow text "2020 CALLED", which is followed by the white text "IT WANTS YOUR PS5® BACK!*". To the right, next to a black and white image of a PS5 console and controller, the yellow text "$749.95" is under the text "WE WILL PAY YOU:". Below it is "CASH OR CREDIT". The red, circular text below is "FOR YOUR PS5® DISC CONSOLE!". A footer in small, white text detailed the offer: "Offer available to existing Plus Members or customers joining a new 12-month Plus Membership. Console, controller and all components must be included and in good working condition to qualify. Limit of one (1) trade per member. No additional EB World Trade Bonuses apply in conjunction with this offer. Cash may be provided via Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). Trade for cash is not available in WA. Offer valid from 20-26 April 2026, or until the first 2020 Plus Customers redeem the offer, whichever occurs first. EB Games Trade Policy and full terms & conditions apply.

The deal is exclusive to EB World PLUS members, the store’s subsciption loyalty program, but customers can sign up to a new 12 month membership in the process and make use of the offer. The offer is valid until Sunday 26 April but something tells me 2,020 customers might take advantage of the deal before then.

The usual conditions otherwise apply: with the trade-in you must supply the console, controller and all components in good working condition. Only one trade is available per member, with EB Trade Policy & T&Cs applying. In WA, trade for cash is not available.

The move follows a similar trade incentive by EB Game’s counterpart in Gamestop, where they offered additional value to PlayStation owners trading for an Xbox. PlayStation recently increased the prices of new hardware, making a discounted second-hand consoles far more appealing should EB have the inventory on offer. The respective promotions appear a bid to get more pre-owned PS5s added to inventory.
