The Sony PlayStation 5 release is nearly upon us and as we near the launch — officially scheduled for Thursday, November 12th — it’s safe to say the vast majority of day-one PS5 buyers are already current PS4 owners. With a retail price of $499 (Blu-Ray) and $399 (Digital Edition), the cost of the PS5 is enough to make a dent in anyone’s wallet — but what if you could bring this price down? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you’re thinking about upgrading to a PS5<\/strong>, a great way to lower the cost is by selling your old PS4, PS4 Slim, or PS4 Pro for cash<\/strong>. While PS4 trade-in deals are the easiest way to fund a PS5 purchase, you won’t get nearly as much money as if you sold your old PS4 yourself. Thankfully, Swappa is always the best way to get the most money for your old tech — that includes used video games and consoles as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To help give you a better idea of how much money you can get when you sell<\/strong> your PS4 instead of taking advantage of current trade-in programs, let’s take a look at current PS4 trade-in deals from across various retailers like GameStop, Best Buy, and Amazon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The original PS4 came in a few different varieties, with the biggest differentiator being the storage sizes. On Swappa the original PS4 is worth around $211<\/strong>, significantly more money than if you traded in the console somewhere else. For instance, retailers like GameStop will only give you $100 or less for the system, and for exact pricing just take a look at the table below. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPS4 trade-in value <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
