GameStop wants you to know that it has your back amid the new PS5 price hike in the U.S…. but only for a few days. The company is offering extra $50 credit towards the purchase of a PS5 when trading in older consoles collecting dust,

GameStop will give you an extra $50 for your old console this week if you're buying a PS5 to counteract today's price increase.

PS5 prices are going up. But retailers like GameStop „have your back.” Do they really have your best interests at heart? The answer may not surprise you.

Shortly after Sony announced its PS5 price increases, the store took to its social media pages, proclaiming, “GameStop has your back.” It adds that a new deal will let players “take that $50 back” by granting an extra $50 bonus to anyone who trades in a PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X | S, or Nintendo Switch toward the purchase of a new PS5.

Sony responds to Sony's $50 PS5 price hike with targeted trade-in promotion, highlighting retail tensions amid tariff pressures.

I bought several ‘refurbished’ and limited edition PS5 consoles from GameStop and the results were a disaster. From missing parts and fake seals to scratched, damaged, and even broken systems, each unboxing just gets worse.

Gamers, brace yourselves: the PS5 just got pricier. After citing a “challenging economic environment,” Sony has increased PS5 prices to the following: PlayStation 5: $549.99 (up $50 from $499.99) PlayStation 5 Digital Edition: $499.
