On November 17 Customers Can Bring in Trades to Help Pay-Off Their
Pre-Ordered Xbox One
GRAPEVINE, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 14, 2013--
GameStop (NYSE: GME), the world’s largest multichannel retailer of video
games, is hosting pre-launch Xbox One events on Sunday, November 17 at
all U.S. GameStop store locations. The events will allow customers to
bring in their pre-owned hardware, software, or consumer electronic
trade-ins early to pay-off their pre-ordered Xbox One consoles, as well
as purchase available games and/or accessories.
As part of the one-day event celebration, GameStop will provide
customers a special hardware trade-in offer on their pre-owned systems
when applied toward paying off their pre-ordered Xbox console*.
Customers will triple their bonus credit when they trade in a system,
resulting in 90 percent extra in-store credit on top of their system’s
original value.
“GameStop, unlike any other retailer, offers our customers the ability
to trade-in their current generation of consoles for the most value to
help purchase the Xbox One,” said Michael Turner, director of
merchandising at GameStop. “This allows consumers the ability to upgrade
their console at a more affordable price, making it more accessible to
have the latest hardware.”
In addition to the special trade offer, each store location will provide
customers a chance to receive giveaway items, experience a host of fun
activities and refreshments to help build excitement for the November 22
launch of the Xbox One.
With the launch of the Xbox One console just around the corner, GameStop
is finalizing plans to make that day an exciting opportunity for
customers. All eligible GameStop stores will remain open the evening of
November 21 for the midnight release of the new Xbox. The Xbox One will
go on sale at approximately 12:01 a.m. on November 22 for all customers
who pre-ordered the console. For a complete listing of all U.S. GameStop
store locations, visit www.gamestop.com.
* In-store credit must be applied toward the pre-order of a new Xbox
system. Pre-owned hardware must have all necessary components for trade.
Not valid toward cash trades. Trades must be in full working condition
to receive full trade value.
