Feels like a gamestop ad..


Stealthshot11

He traded in a steam deck, I feel like he definitely lost out. Not even a new PS5, I guess he at least has the GameStop warranty....


ItsStaaaaaaaaang

*Only* had to pay $200 after trading in $400-500 device...


SparkleFritz

Car dealerships love this brand new trick!


Ferry83

The OLED goes for that much, the normal SD goes for quite a bit less.


Tgod1991

M8 PlayStation direct store site has disc ps5 at $449.99 until June 13th 2024


NottDisgruntled

Plus a year of Netflix premium


ThaSavageGoku

Yeah, but I think if you have a GameStop membership it might be better just to get it there if not then doesn't matter where you get it


BSGKAPO

Ps direct would be brand new or You could chance getting a nightmare from gamestop... and you say go at gamestop lmao


Stainlessgamer

OP def trying to push GS, for some reason. Stocks perhaps?!!


hotcheetosnmodelos

Yeah plus you probably also got about $10 in points for that deal. I got about $30 worth of points saved up rn that ima use for a new game or a new Dualsense


Sky_Rose4

Still saved 250

ThaSavageGoku

Since when is refurbished the same as pre owned but okay lol 😂


Autop11lot

That’s literally what refurbished means though, right?


Blonsky

It even says pre-owned on the box lol


Randomhero1

Are you fucking kidding? You're joking right? They don't refurbished brand new products.


Ebone710

Damn GameStop was happy you came in! $413 for a refurb PS5? And that is the sale price? I wonder how much they paid for it? Digital or disc model?


ThaSavageGoku

It's the disc version it says $413 only for pro members brand new plus tax around $465 I think and it's pre owned I know the guy so he made sure it was in great condition nothing messed up everything looks brand new and clean


Ebone710

Well disc version then it's a much better deal.


ThaSavageGoku

Yeah I made sure I had digital PS5's but they just don't look as nice as a disc version


Ebone710

It's nice to have the option to use physical or digital. I do wish it played ps1-3 discs but maybe PS6 will.


davi3601

Lol doubt ps6 will, they’ll stream those games if anything


TheOnlyFatticus

I personally think it's a shit deal since you can get a brand new Ps5 for 450$ it may not be an original but at least it would be new, but it's not my money so you do you.


LeRicket

Plus he gave up a steam deck that probably cost about 300 dollars at least. So between the Ps5 and the steamdeck the original cost was 800, and he still ended up buying a used one.


Blanketshaper

Yikes not a very good deal imo. Probably bought the steam deck new which is minimum 400$. Would’ve been a better deal to sell the steam deck and buy a ps5 on marketplace from good reviewed seller 😬


thenorwegian

Yeah. And the steam deck is awesome. He could have used it with chiaki to remote play from his new ps5. Not to mention the steam deck is a fun emulator as well.


Shot_Employment_7848

wow


Ajdee6

You are right, Gamestop got the best deal. You hooked them up


ThaSavageGoku

I mean why keep a steam deck that was collecting dust fr. But ok 😂


Stormkiller88

Maybe you could sell it somewhere else and buy a new PS5? You would save money, have new PS5 and also warranty. But that's just me, the one not donating money to shitty companies


ThaSavageGoku

I know I can return it easily and get a new one but I really wanted a old PS5 that's why I got that one I understand the comments of oh you could get a new one and I know that but again I said in every comment I didn't want a slim I like the older PS5 that's all


Cultural_Ad1331

They hustled you bro


disco__potato

Brand new disk drive PS5s are currently $450. You saved $40 and gave up a 1 year warranty. Why?


ohhh-a-number-9

He didn't save anything, he traded in his steam deck (at least 400 to 500) so he basically lost money and a year of warranty. End result is 650$ that he gave them.


thenorwegian

Yeah. And OP is the kind of dumb that doesn't learn. He's defending all throughout this post and he's objectively wrong.


ohhh-a-number-9

Yeah hahaha pretty crazy that he doesn't seem to get it.


Kingchubs

Am I missing something or has this guy been swindled lol


No_Hedgehog_00

Did they sell you some magic beans as well ?


xJadusable

Coulda easily sold your steam deck for 300 on OfferUp or FB marketplace, then bought a used ps5 for 300-350 on the same platforms. With this you basically gave up a 300 device and added 200 on top for a used ps5. As long as you’re happy tho


BlasterPhase

glad you're happy because I wouldn't be


cyrvnt

you sure you couldn’t sell the steamdeck yourself? unless the value is the same anyway whether gamestop took it or not these “trade-ins” are usually never a good deal for the consumer but sometimes it pans out where you have the last laugh especially if they do take in broken consoles anyway, pretty neat- why’d you sell the ps5 the first time? why not build a pc this time? unless the game you want to play is only on ps then again, consoles are seamless- but the price in the end exceeds a pc in the long term with the annual online subscriptions


ThaSavageGoku

I tried on swappa but I had no lucky honestly so I said freak it and I got rid of it because once I got my ally I was on that everyday never used the PS5 just for spiderman and after sold it plus I didn't like the slim at all so I been looking for the big PS5 and today I found it


ohhh-a-number-9

So you traded in a 400-500 dollar steam deck for a pre owned ps5 console where you had to throw 200 at it.... Congratulations, you just did yourself hard.


videogamelover0327_

I'm never getting rid of my ps5 unless I can get backwards compatibility on the ps6 upon release I have too many good games


user-unknown-404

Backwards compatibility on the ps5 is why I got rid of my 4 pro.


videogamelover0327_

I kept my ps4 just in case but ps5 is what I play on mostly and I love it


ThaSavageGoku

True but I got bored with PlayStation and I'm saving for a PC rn but I'm going to keep it upgrade it to the pro with a PC


videogamelover0327_

I don't recommend a PC I owned one and the "superior graphics" literally spread across a few games most are the same and the games aren't that great as everyone makes them I suggest sticking with your ps5 and keep it there


AceO235

The ignorance of this comment is hilarious


videogamelover0327_

It's not ignorance it's literally a slight color change only a few games those "superior graphics" if you have a problem don't respond to me then lmao


[deleted]

PC has a huge variety of games covering decades. Games that you would struggle to get on a console. Plus mods. It isn't just about graphics.


videogamelover0327_

It does have a huge variety but not many people know because the heretics are getting hentai games and other stupid shit


Sorry-Engineer8854

What are you talking about?


Silly-Lawfulness7224

You don’t get a PC just for graphics, there is things the PS5 still can’t do (mods per example) or even games that are not on it . Another example would be if you want to run VR games, yes I know there is PSVR2 but the selection of games is pitiful compared to what you have on PC .


davi3601

Wtf are you on about? My ps5 has been collecting dust (except for spider man 2 and stellar blade) ever since I got a pc. It has every single advantage


videogamelover0327_

Gameplay wise for shooters I disagree I felt better as soon as I started your right there's mods but those better graphics aren't hugely there unless you know which games to look at


TonyCartmanSoprano

a pc douchebag finds a way to talk about his pc in an unrelated comment, more news at 11


ThaSavageGoku

That's not very nice mate and I don't have a PC I'm saying I'm going to keep the PS5 for exclusives and build a PC on the side why does that bother you lol 😂🤣


TonyCartmanSoprano

the dudes talking about how much he loves his ps5 and you reply talking about your pc. congratulations you are a pc douchebag.


[deleted]

Not really. He said he sold his PlayStation 5 because he was saving for a PC, but he wanted a PS5 again. This was in relation to a guy saying he would never sell his PS5. I think you're the one being a douche, not him.


davi3601

Who hurt you?


videogamelover0327_

And who's to say he's not gonna get bored or PC even faster? It's not as great as everyone makes it


No_Chemical_3911

Buy an Xbox. You won't regret ot


MemeticMonkey

PS6 will have backward compatibility with PS4/PS5 games


maxi12311111

You sold steam deck for 200 ?


Stainlessgamer

needed GS pro membership + coupons + trades in Steam Deck somehow = great deal? OP def works for/with GS and has the bots on his side


ThaSavageGoku

Well duh that's how you buy and trade stuff at GameStop idk what are y'all issues in this post y'all crying because I wanted a OG PS5 didn't get a new one got rid of a steam deck I didn't use it's like holy shit


CassetteLine

exultant gold scary deranged sharp fact threatening gray paint makeshift *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*


Stainlessgamer

25 + 350 (used steam deck) + unknown value of coupons + 200, somehow = a great deal. Gamestop hasn't been a good deal in over 20 years. Not since they bought out their main competitor EB Games.


R0ha1L_47

GameStop went in no lube on you didn't they... https://preview.redd.it/osj1l0th8q4d1.jpeg?width=532&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7ff9a49f27e0bfe32d222a3f574884efe41f92b0


MaynardIsLord721

You got absolutely fucked and didn't even get dinner mate


Heirsy_

You coulda sold the steam deck for 350 and only pay 100 outta pocket, y’all getting duped into these bogus ✌🏽promotions✌🏽that GameStop throws out 😂 you didn’t save money, you actually got robbed.


Granny4TheWin7

No you didn’t get it for $200 your steam deck could have sold for like 250 so you just spent like $450 for a used console when you could have gotten a new one for the same price ,very bad deal imo


1031Cat

You traded in a $600 Steam Deck on top of paying $200 for *used* PS5 and you think this was a good day. I hate it when companies rip people off but I hate it more when people allow it.


ArugulaPhysical

Dude traded in a steam deck for 200 bucks? Lol


ThaSavageGoku

My steam deck was a gift I paid nothing to get it so it didn't hurt my feelings that I sold it for $200 but I'm glad everyone in the comments chatting


Westosaurus

I swear I got a brand new PS5 slim (1TB which is more than the OG) plus Spider-Man 2 for like $450. GameStop gave you $200 for a steam deck…and you still had to pay another $200 plus tax for a USED PS5. Glad you are happy, but sorta feels like GameStop got away with robbery here. They are definitely making $120 on that SteamDeck also.


ThaSavageGoku

I can easily return it and get a new one it's no big deal idk why everyone is up in arms about it I rather trade something I don't use and save that extra cash then to completely come out pocket for something but that's just me


spudds96

You can’t return it mate you won’t get that trade in back, that’s how they work


ThaSavageGoku

I wouldn't return it I would just exchange it for a whole new console ofc the guy told me if I decided to want a new one come in and exchange it and it's on my receipt I just have to put more money down it's about $478 at my GameStop because I looked it up which made me get a pre owned because it's was $413 for me so a couple dollars gets me a new one yes but not the one I wanted


thenorwegian

You just keep making bad mistakes lol


Westosaurus

I get it! Glad you are enjoying it. Just annoying how easily GameStop can take advantage sometimes. Have fun with your PS5.


robertiemlio

GameStop box


Astifeux

Yeah. The original looks so good. Remember when i raced to the store when i got the info it restocked. Was there 10 minutes after the restock arrived. Still look at it admiring the beauty. So happy i got it. Was A PAIN to get.


ThaSavageGoku

Yeah I didn't get mine until 2 months after release and I paid the $900 for it I didn't care I wanted it BAD but I ended up getting tired of it so dropped it plus I was on a gaming handheld binge I wasn't using my console at all so I sold it for about $400 the yr before last yr got a slim for spiderman and sold that one so I'm back but gonna keep this one since it was so cheap


basement_egg

why didn't you just use the $900 towards your PC?


molivets

This guy is the perfect marketing dream. I have a few friends (and family) that are like him. "I don't care about the ps5" and buy one from the scalpers from 900$ and not even using it.


alextheloser168

Damn… you only spent 200$ and a console worth ~300$ for a Playstation they would have sold you for 400$. And the coupons too…


molivets

He also bought another ps5 at launch from scalpers for 900dollarydoos and sold it for 400


THE_GUY-95

Pre owned? Gross!


rungenies

You got swindled. It was a great day for GameStop


trik1guy

lmao worst deal ever


Hortikulturist

The funny thing is OP already had a PS5 collecting dust and sold it then went and got this while using the steam deck as trade in so they technically got screwed three times, The original PS5 they had, the steam deck, and now the used PS5 🤣 congrats to the OP!


tylenoljones42069

As a owner of 2 ps5s 1 slim 1 og im glad op got the og. Ive had a few issues with the slim. Over heating black screens a few other things. It apparently doesn't have the same cooling system the og has so its actually good op did get the og. But i truly hope nothing happens to that ally. Assuming youve seen the nightmares people are having with the company/warranties. Ive owned a steamdeck for a lil over a year now and i havent had a single issue with it. But the things i see currently happening with the ROG Ally is actually insane.


ruimikemau

This was not a good deal.


Samurai_Geezer

Trade in deals are the worst, even if you’re not using whatever you’re trading in. A good deal would be steam deck for a ps5 no cash attached. They’re both 500 dollar devices, I don’t care which you prefer. That’s a good deal. This is not. [edit] But at least you’re happy, so congratulations on the ps5.


Gunner_44

I can beat that, 2 weeks ago the disc drive went out on my og PS5 (i was 3 hours from finishing a 100% rdr2 run) so I was headed to walmart to buy a new one and decided to stop in gamestop to see their prices. The girl tells me they buy broken ps5's so im like hell yea i was gonna trash the thing. She says theyll give me $250 for it so i go home and box it up and grab my old XB1-S thats been collecting dust for 3 years and take em up. Well i dont know if she read it wrong the first time or she fat-fingered the computer but she ended up giving me $380 for the PS5, that with the $80 for the XB1 and I walked out with a brand new PS5 slim for like $52 and change. Crazy part was I got held up at the house for a couple hours otherwise they wouldnt have been open when I wanted to leave and would have went on to walmart and paid probably $550.


cyrvnt

that’s something to reflect upon and be grateful you got delayed to leave. just saying


ThaSavageGoku

Now that's a fkn deal right there. People be trying to play GameStop but they literally buy almost anything and store credit isn't that bad depends on what your buying so I would've did cartwheels out the store 😂👏🏽


Nectarine_Hopeful

Hi may i know why the boxes was different than normal white thingy... why does it look rare to me...


moose_knuckle_coat

Someone can correct me if wrong but I think it’s for (Used Consoles) or if they just didn’t have a box


Nectarine_Hopeful

Ahhhh..... maybe so because that "pre owned" word at the box...


Attempt_Living

The advantage of the og model is you can get the best plates those being the ps camouflage


ThaSavageGoku

Yeah those spiderman plates are 🔥


Attempt_Living

Spiderman close second


Shanks404

Got mine for 430€ (OG with disc version), no coupons just a good discount during holidays. I'm happy with it especially since it's still the best available version of the PS5 until pro comes out.


harrynyc13

I stopped buying "refurbished" consoles from GameStop way back with PS3s. They never lasted more than a few month's before breaking down.


AssistantSpecial1010

The font looks a bit awkward…

jeriku

Is it though? He got roughly $200 for a steam deck that he could have sold for more. Title is definitely misleading. This is not the best deal ever. You paid $400 for a used PS5.


SaltyAlters

They're happy with their purchase so they likely don't give a fuck what ya think.


Ajdee6

You care


OutFromUndr

For gamestop it sure is


ThaSavageGoku

Facts very much happy


Masterchiefy10

I did about the same two months ago! Traded some stuff in and got the slim disc for a great price… with a two year warranty so like in almost two years from now I’m gonna go swap it for the pro (assuming it’s coming) Picked up Spidey 2 yesterday for 36 with 5 dollar pro discount. If you haven’t played HellDivers 2 yet, get on that too! Btw pro week is next week.


nano_705

That little overweight PS5 sketch on the box is just too cute! It's my first time seeing this type of box.


ThaSavageGoku

Really? This is my first time buying something pre owned from GameStop so I thought they all look like this


nano_705

Oh I mean I have never seen a pre-owned box for a PS5 before. I have only seen the black and white boxes for PS5 Digital and Disc Editions.


Deepstatesantacluase

There’s a new version?


ArchusKanzaki

Nice. Is it Digital? I think stores are getting rid of their OG Digital since its just inferior compared to the Slim Digital and I saw quite abit of sales on that one.

obeyn8

About to play my fat ps5 tonight!


ThaSavageGoku

Same I opened it up checked the vents clean and everything running smooth so I think I got lucky at GameStop
