It's common for GameStop to hold special limited time sales during selection weekends throughout the year, such as during Tax Refund season. However for the major retailer's next promotion, it's offering big discounts for anyone who's a part of the Powerup Rewards program, which is an annual subscription offering both a discount on used games and accessories, and an increased value for trade-ins of said products.
This Saturday (May 18th), GameStop is holding its annual "Pro Day" Sale, with select deals for games, consoles, and accessories, exclusive to Powerup Rewards members. A number of these deals will also be available online. While there are select new titles with price cuts worth checking out, those looking to get rid of some of their older games or systems might be able to walk away with more than they'd expect.
Starting with console deals, anyone buying an Xbox One, PlayStation 4, or Nintendo Switch will receive a $50, $20, or $25 gift card, respectively. For the PS4 deal, buyers must bundle their purchase with a subscription to PlayStation Plus. In regards to trade-in deals, any PS4 Pro or Xbox One X trade-in will be worth $300. PS4 Slims and Nintendo Switch trade-ins will be worth $225, original PS4 and Xbox One S models will go for $175, and finally original Xbox Ones will resell for $125. All values for trade-ins are in the form of store credit.
As far as PS4 game deals are concerned, the recently released Devil May Cry 5 is going for just $40. Other discounts include the remastered Spyro Reignited Trilogy at $25, Monster Hunter World for $20, Marvel's Spider-Man for $30, Tetris Effect for $20, Red Dead Redemption 2 for $40 ($60 for Ultimate Edition), and Nier Automata: Game of the Yohra Edition for $25. All third-party games are available on Xbox One for the same discount price. The best deals to look for on Nintendo Switch are likely Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle for $20, and various Lego games for the same price.
Powerup rewards members will also earn an additional 10% in trade credit for any games or accessories they wish to bring in. Given GameStop's Powerup Rewards Pro membership only costs $15 a year, it's possible the extra boost in trade-in credit and/or discount on select games will cover the yearly subscription cost in a single transaction. It's also worth mentioning for those who aren't yet a member can subscribe at the time of transaction, and they'll still receive the discount rewards.
