Following the local price and release date of the Xbox Series X/S, EB Games has now confirmed the trade deals for both consoles.
UPDATE: We’ve now confirmed with EB Games that these prices are even better with EB World memberships. If you’re a level 4 member, you’ll get 20% extra trade value. Obviously, if you’re level 1, 2 or 3, you will still get more value but not as much as Level 4.
We’ve also now confirmed that you’ll get these discounts off either console (so you’ll be able to trade a One S towards a Series X and a One X towards a Series S). The original Xbox One will get you $150 off (an extra 20% if you’re a Level 4 member.
Both of these are actually quite reasonable. The Xbox Series S in particular for $299 when trading in an Xbox One S is extremely decent. The Xbox One S has regularly been available to buy brand new for less than $200 in recent times.
As we reported last night, EB Games has confirmed that pre-orders will be online only and will require a $200 deposit. Just for clarity, once you pre-order online, you will be able to go into store and trade in your console, add money to your pre-order etc.
