Xbox Offers Trade-in Credit to Owners Who Have Stopped Playing

Posted on
Microsoft is emailing some inactive Xbox owners about Best Buy trade-ins worth up to $375 for a Series X or $200 for a Series S.

Quick Report

Microsoft is reportedly contacting some Xbox Series X|S owners who have not used their consoles recently and inviting them to trade in the hardware at Best Buy. The advertised maximum is $375 for a Series X and $200 for a Series S, paid as a Best Buy eGift Card.

The offer appears limited to the United States, and the top Series X valuation assumes the console is in good condition with its controller and cables. The campaign follows Microsoft's earlier plan to use traded-in consoles for lower-priced resale. Because the payout is store credit rather than cash, the stated maximum is not equivalent to a cash resale price.
