If you had a 4 year old launch model, this isn't the worst deal ever. Newer, fresher model. Updated warranty. New game.
Actually tempted to vote hot...

voted hot. looking through website, is this only for fifa bundle?

Good deal, but is it only on the FIFA bundle? Not a fan of football games, but if there's other bundles I may be tempted. Either way, voted hot :thumbsup:

Game are good with the upgrade deals, I traded in my 360 for Xbox one with a bundle of games and only paid about £80
Begize
28 Sep 17#6
Good deal would be nice to see it on other PS4 Pro bundles though as FIFA ain't my thing either. Makes it difficult to do a console migration from the old one to the new if you have to take it in to the shop. Guess backing up is the answer.

28 Sep 17#7
Who is going to do this? You'd be paying £124.99 for FIFA 18 :thinking:
"Trade-In PS4 Slim 500GB Console and Get PS4 Slim 500GB Console with FIFA 18 £124.99"
Hiltron09 to johnthehuman
28 Sep 17#13
Surely that's an error. It just doesn't make any sense.
cruncher75 to johnthehuman
28 Sep 17#27
£79.99 for the 1tb version which would make it £30 to up grade to a new console as the game is £49.99 in game
johnthehuman to cruncher75
28 Sep 17#31
Yeah I know I understand that deal.
I'm specifically talking about the deal which I quoted in my post :thinking: Actually reading some of the comments on here, that deal is starting to make sense...
FocusST to johnthehuman
28 Sep 17#29
I might actually do it. I have the original 500gb PS4 that I bought on offer when No Mans Sky came out, so it's not that old but it only has the original 500gb HDD in which is nearly full now.
So currently I need to upgrade the HDD on it, and my son wants Fifa 18 so for me it is a good deal as a new 1TB HDD and Fifa would cost me more than £80, plus I get a new console/controller and new warranty etc.
Edit: I see what you mean now, didn't see that deal down the bottom, just saw the first one!! :grin:
londonlad19 to FocusST

They are referring to the trade a slim 500gb for a slim 500gb plus fifa

This isn't too bad a deal if, like mentioned above, you have a launch console. I can't seem to find the link though that directs you to the page. :thinking:
swinbag
28 Sep 17#10
I'm tempted - I picked up one of the original's in last years deals for £149 with FIFA; already starting to run out of space though & the idea of a new slim with double the space is very tempting!
I would imagine there is a way to backup eveything from the old unit, onto an external HDD for example then restore the data onto the new machine?

johnthehuman to carinamagee
28 Sep 17#19
Nope they don't take faulty consoles, it needs to be working.
Just.Wondering
28 Sep 17#15
Only issue is the transfer of all the game data to the new console.
But I'd say the Ps4 is due its seasonal price drop, once the xbox x hits the shelves, Sony will unleash some killer deals.
Crazy.Chris
28 Sep 17#16
does it have to work lol, mine broke a while ago so i bought a slim, but wouldn't mind another one! Have to see if i can get it working and then this is well worth while for me.
DevilsNeverCry
28 Sep 17#17
This is actually a pretty good deal, effectively makes your 4 year old PS4 worth £150 - and that's a good value for a standard model.
Hot.
dannyscun
28 Sep 17#18
Heat added. Tempted to buy fifa anyway so for another £30 i can get a newer PS4 with larger hard drive. Silly not to really.

Does it need the original 500gb hdd? Swapped that out years ago.
johnthehuman to 5Rivers79

^ It needs a working 500Gb HDD. There's no way of knowing if it's the original HDD.
All these questions "does it need to work?". Nah mate they'll take a hollowed-out PS4 shell, they're not fussed if it switches on or plays games :thinking:
rly?

28 Sep 17#33
I was eyeballing the pro, but with no 4K TV or HDR on the horizon for me, I think I'll wait. That slim deal is pretty tempting though. I can ditch one of my controllers with worn out thumbstick rubber, upgrade my HDD, effectively renew my warranty and get a console that doesn't sound like a hoover. I'll glady sell on Fifa too if it's a disc copy. Anyone know if it is?
AbandonedTrolley
28 Sep 17#34
Yeah this is a good deal in terms of the old model, that slim model offer is just stupid!
I recently managed to get a decent trade in with my Pro and Destiny 2 got £301 trade in value for them against the White Pro Destiny 2 bundle, so had to pay extra £49 for it but obviously got another years warranty and also the season pass for D2 :smile: (Elite membership required)
Makoto
28 Sep 17#35
Bought a second hand PS4 for 100 pound from Gumtree (which was a deal in itself!) but am tempted to do this, just mainly for the warranty. I assume I do not need the box for the console? Just the console, Pad, power and HDMI?
stephen2k5
28 Sep 17#37
Does anyone know if you have to trade in a controller too? I wanted a spare so for £80 I'd get FIFA 18, another controller and a bigger HDD?? Sounds like a good deal to me
handywork
28 Sep 17#39
I have the white PlayStation 4, will this count as a original PS4?
The 79.99 for upgrading the slim and getting Fifa with it is amazing. (That's if you were already buying Fifa anyway for say £40/£45 ish).
dannyjones106
28 Sep 17#40
Seriously tempted by this! My launch model spots the disk out every now and then and the controller has seen better days! Would love a pro.
My launch model is a 500gb which I upgraded to a 1tb... Think they'd accept that as a 1tb?
johnthehuman to dannyjones106
28 Sep 17#42
If the drive is playing up when they test it, they won't accept it.
I've got a launch PS4 that occasionally holds onto discs, and needs a bit of persuasion to eject. They wouldn't accept it :disappointed:

Am I being thick or is the first offer saying - trade in an 500gb 'old' PS4 and get a 1TB 'new' PS4 for £79.99? Is that right?
SunTzu
28 Sep 17#44
do you need to wipe the drive before you take it or will they do that as part of testing? Obviously don't want my account etc still active when they pass it on to someone else!

Hi does anyone know if they'd accept a ps4 with the stickers at the back out. I removed them to clean the dust

adilaslam_2007
28 Sep 17#46
You can trade it now but youll have to go back and collect the bundle at the midnight launch or tomorrow. If your ps4 controller is worn then they say they keep the new one and you keep your old one.
m.ad
28 Sep 17#48
I cracked my PS4 open recently to try and remove dust as it sounds like an aircraft taking off, so removed warrenty sticker. Still might give this a go - currently £36 cash for Fifa 18 in CEX so (if game is physical), £44 for 1TB hard drive, smaller form factor and warranty. Also get to take out my previous 1TB hybrid drive and use it for something else :smile:
IF the game is physical...
LankySi
28 Sep 17#49
For those that don't want FIFA, you'd probably get around £30 for it at the moment (depending on whether it's digital or physical copy) making the upgrade only £40 :grin:
Seriously tempted!

If you do this remember that the fat ps4 is better as it has an optical cable for those you use it for higher quality sound like me
LankySi
28 Sep 17#56
If it's this bundle, it's a physical copy of FIFA 18. Makes it easier to sell on
No just get the slim if you have the old one that overheats, sounds louder than a hoover after half hour and spits out disks now and then.

My OG PS4 came in the Gamer bundle with 2 controllers, v1 camera and Killzone. I'd hope they don't expect me to trade in any more than just the PS4 and 1 controller.
The more I think about this deal, the more I feel like going in on it, but there's a voice in the back of my head telling me to wait for Black Friday instead
sanandreasgangstar to Rob_1304
28 Sep 17#72
what sort of deal are you expecting to be better? Is it the game that is putting you off?
Rob_1304 to sanandreasgangstar
28 Sep 17#101
I suppose it's a mixture of the game being of no interest to me (yeah I can sell that and recoup a few quid) and a hope that there will be some really good deal on the Pro at BF. Fact is though, that £150 trade in for my old launch console is pretty damn good. I'm very indecisive with things like this!

johnthehuman
28 Sep 17#78
You need to trade in exactly what you bought, or would expect to buy again.
1 Console (working, with an HDD inside). Tamper seals intact. 1 Controller (working - as in, will connect to the console, and operate the console). 1 Power lead. 1 HDMI lead. 1 USB Cable.
You might get away with not having the little chat earphone, depending on the store.
They will try to install and play a game. If it doesn't work, for whatever reason, it won't be accepted.

28 Sep 17#84
Sorry if I appear stupid, but what do you mean by 'tamper seal intact'?

There's two(?) little stickers on the back of the console, covering up a couple of screws.
They clearly say "Warranty void if removed / damaged" or something close to that.

Is the ps4 pro really that much better than a ps4. I have just got a 4k TV and it's ok at upscaling games... would it make a huge difference or not ?
Ken9041 to YikYak
28 Sep 17#88
PS4 pro plays games at 4k, games at better frame rate actiavting boost mode improves old games that are not patched for stable frame rate and you owning a 4k tv get more benefit from the console
dijital to Ken9041

It upscales to 4k, absolutely no the same as playing them at 4k.

dijital to Ken9041
28 Sep 17#120
Incorrect "Checkerboard" is a Reconstruction filter. its just fancy upscaling, while many games will run higher than 1080p, they are not running at 4k natively. Running natively would not require the Checkerboard technique.
And I did own one for a few months to try and replace the PC but went back.

This is actually a decent deal.
PS4 500gb is worth around £120-150 cash on sphock gumtree.
So it's a fair offer. If it was a 500gb and games to trade up. I'd see it as typical Game doing their usual.

£80 for Fifa 10 and 1TB hard drive is a good deal, However I like my optical out port so it's not worth it for me.

28 Sep 17#124
If you have PSN Plus - backup saves onto the cloud - if not then use a USB stick.
When I tried to backup my OG PS4 - I had to have an external HD with the FREE SPACE equal to PS4 , and it took hours and hours.
My advice would be to backup save data ,and just reinstall / redownload everything else

Selling it to others has its own pitfalls. If you sell on Gumtree, more likely than not, the buyer will like to see it working so you have to invite a stranger into your home. eBay has chancers who target sellers with low activity.
Rather do this with GAME but I already got FIFA downloaded for tonight so don't think it's worth the hassle.
woza7298
28 Sep 17#126
Don't forget to delete USER's and deactivate them.
Very tempted ,I have a PS4 Pro - and an OG PS4 .....
OG PS4 sounds horrendous hence getting a pro - but now its being left unused - £80 for a new console /new controller and FIFA to trade-in .... too good to miss

haritori
28 Sep 17#130
Well firstly Destiny 2 came with the season pass too.. but my point was that Games trade in was this anyway, so its a standard thing, not really a deal, but im not bashing the OP im bashing GAME lowering trade in values to then promote this as an incentive.

Anyone know if they'll accept consoles with void warranty stickers?

Thanks mate.
And yeah, the warranty sticker is an issue for me to. I opened my one up 2 months ago to give it a proper clean after too much dust built up inside.

It's not too bad, but warranty is almost over (bought last year on those 150 crazy deals) and I'm running short on space already. I also want fifa anyway. So A brand new console with brand new controller, twice the hdd, fresh warranty and a brand new game which I was going to purchase anyway for 80 quid, I call it a good deal :smile:
yolominati
28 Sep 17#152
Do they have a deal for the 1tb ps4? Like an extra £20 off or something?

I've not had a slim but I had original a chassis and now c chassis. I believe slim should be better in these regards. Only con about it that people mention is lack of optical out, I don't use one so it doesn't bother me too much :smile: if I had a launch day console which is like 4 years now, I would not hesitate taking up this deal at all

Grohller
28 Sep 17#161
Might be a daft question, but I need to ask:
If I swap out the 2tb I have in my Original PS4 without formatting it, put the old 500 back in, trade in, strip the 500 out of the slim, put the 2tb back in the slim, will it recognise all my downloaded stuff or will it wipe the 2 tb as soon as it's put in the new console?

I have over £130 of game vouchers and nothing to spend on so this is a very tempting deal for me.
Only doubt I have is we might see some good ps pro bundles during black Friday and the run up to Xmas...
westy90
28 Sep 17#170
I did this when switching from my OG ps4 to a c chassis ps4 (£150 one from last year). I got it all working without wiping the 2tb. I think I booted up the new ps4 in safe mode with 2tb and did rebuild database, It then booted up with all my data intact. It can be done as I did it I just cant remember what I did 100%

Just remember the slim does not have optical out if you need it. Good deal though

Lol, I was thinking that this wasn't for me, then I remembered that my PS4 is 1 inch too big for my liking. So could be a deal for me...

I traded my old Xbox 360 in towards a Switch back when they had the 30% extra trades promotion. Took them about 15 / 20 minutes to test the console and they didn't need the box, just the controller + cables it originally came with. This was at about 10:00am so obviously the quiter the store is the better!
dannyjones106
28 Sep 17#187
Thanks for the reply. To be honest, it'd once in a blue moon the eject thing plays up so I'd have to be very unlucky for it to do it in the shop!
I'll ask them about the 1tb HDD upgrade being acceptable or not.
Seriously tempted by this....was considering xb1x but I can't bring myself to drop £450 on one!

dunc360
28 Sep 17#191
I'm tempted by the Pro as I have a 4k TV but I don't feel like I need it so will probably refrain.
Plus my OG black controller is broken, and I wouldn't trade in the other coloured editions. I'll have to break out the tools again as I replaced the battery twice but the light bar only stays on for moments before shutting down again.
highspire2k
28 Sep 17#192
This is a great deal! Imo anyway. Effectively you're getting a 500gb hard drive, a new machine, new warranty etc and a copy of fifa 18 for £80. Even if you don't want fifa, sell the code/disc for at least £30 and you've just got a refresh and an upgrade for £50. I'm tempted. Heat.
tommyjaylee
28 Sep 17#193
glad i didn't buy the Destiney 2 deal now - this is much hottttter! Just P****d they won't give me more money for upgrading to a better, 2TB hard drive
oli_1_uk
28 Sep 17#194
Definitely a good deal if you're looking to upgrade, for the slim it's 80 quid for a newer machine, warranty, newer controller and more HDD space.
One thing to keep in mind is FIFA 18 will be probably only worth 25 quid I can imagine resale wise due to a lot of people trying to sell it
highspire2k
28 Sep 17#195
If you have PS plus all your game saves are stored on the cloud, not sure about screenshots and stuff but I'm not fuseed about those. It will be one of those things though that you've just have to leave your PS4 in rest mode for a couple days whilst it downloads all the games etc from the store
stephen2k5
28 Sep 17#196
I popped into my local game. Wasn't aware of the deal but found ou and confirmed it starts tomorrow and ends Monday apparently. Said it would be difficult testing machine tomorrow but would probably be done but only due to the FIFA launch. I asked what was needed to do it and simply was told:
console controller hdmi cable power cable usb charging cable
he did say if I had a box it would be great but not necessary. Gonna pop in first thing to try and sort mine out.

28 Sep 17#203
Not a great deal . Better off waiting for a decent package to come up and selling the bits . i bought the ps4 500gb slim with extra controller and horizon for £199 an drew sold my old ps4 for £110 and the extra controller for £35 , played horizon and then soldier that for £30 so in total only payed £25 for a slim ps4 which is a lot quieter cooler and more energy efficiently with a new warranty and new controller
matman050988
28 Sep 17#204
Curious - How do they test the console?
Take it out back and do it behind closed doors or do you get to see the whole process?
My HDMI cable is abit bent too due to being pushed up against a cabinet, would this matter?

dannyjones106

Im thinking that too - but if the pro drops, the the launch model ps4's will probably be worth even less on the second hand / trade in market.

28 Sep 17#208
Why are you worried about being able to watch them do it? :thinking: HDMI cables are usually quite bendy. Do you meant to say that it's broken?

I spoke to them this morning. I also have the white one, they said original box is not required however you need a white controller. Also HDMI cable and charge cable.

I opened my old PS4 to clean all the dust out, do they still accept it if the seal is broke?
steve_bezerker
28 Sep 17#218
Yeah exactly. Whichever way you spin this it's a good deal. Not so great if your console is only 6 months old but if your console is out of warranty and has seen better days then this deal is fantastic for a cheap upgrade to a Pro.

Any idea if a ps5 is on the horizon?
cicobuff
28 Sep 17#227
I certainly never regretted trading in my old launch model in around March/April this year when Argos had the ridiculous offer of the PS4 Slim/extra controller/Horizon Zero Dawn and the possibility of being offered (as I did) another game choice (Resident Evil 7) for £199.99, especially utilising a code which knocked a tenner off that.
So for £189.99 I had a game I wanted (Horizon Zero Dawn) an extra controller and sold my old PS4 to CEX for £130 cash and got something like £32 cash at the time for Resident Evil 7 as it was a pretty new release.
With this deal, for anyone just after the change of console it would not be hard to get £35 for a sealed copy of Fifa 18 (providing it is a physical copy in the package)
Advantages of the Slim are its reduced manufacturing APU die, cooler, more energy efficient, removable lid without having to invalidate the warranty for cleaning the fan and a vastly superior V2 controller.
I have no regrets in upgrading, particularly to the glacier white model, not everyone is a fan of the redesign but personally think such as with the PS3 Slim the redesign is nicer.
kentc81

Sweet, Just been into Game and done the pre-order deal on the 1TB slim. Reasons; new warranty, new slim console with 1TB HDD rather than 500GB, new v2 controller (usb compatible reduced gamer lag) and old one was on last legs, 5ghz WiFi, quieter & more ECO.... Fifa is currently being bid at £40 on fleabay so all in all looking at a new system for £40 ish outlay, absolute no-brainer..........HEAT HEAT HEAT from ME ME ME.

No i do not have a 4K tv but is the new ps4 faster ?? or is the old one worth keeping hold of to mod ??

Its a PS3 SLIM not the PS4 slim you have to trade in!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you need the box to trade it In or is it okay just the console does anyone know

Technically, if you're planning to pickup FIFA 18 anyway and you have the original PS4, you are getting a brand new PS4 Slim with 1TB for £29.99. Pretty good tbh.

Can anyone confirm if you get the 1tb slim or normal 1tb console. Looking at the £79.99 deal. All advertising says normal 1tb phat version but comments by people saying u get a 1tb slim version.

How have you done this? It doesn't go live until the 29th. Or are you basically saying you reserved one or put your name to one? The staff cant do anything as the launch of the game isnt officially til tomorrow.
I have been aware of this deal for a good few days before it was posted, my local have saved me one, but no early testing or exchange can be done until tbe 29th.

You trade in your normal console (original ps4) and then you pay £80 for slim or £199.99 for pro
fawcett

Yes my D pad was not working correctly for some reason, so i told them just to take the one from the new console
GeordieRob

Pro all the way, Games just run better on it, even older games are boosted
Phat consoles are not produced any more. They were all sold out last year in the crazy 150 deal with fifa 17 every retailer has been doing. Having said that, its not possible to buy phat brand new anymore, so the chances are less than 0 they would create a bundle with that console and fifa 18. It's slim 10000000%

Looking at the bundle on the website, doesn't look like the Icon edition. You get three loan icon cards. The true icon edition has R9 Ronaldo on the cover, and comes with 40 packs (which I can't see mentioned on the website). This looks like the standard version with a little bonus on top.

GeordieRob
28 Sep 17#351
Before trading it in, it might seem obvious to factory reset it (Google initialising ps4 and make sure you choose "full")
But also you need to deactivate as your primary PS4, so that your PlayStation Network account isn't associated to the PS4 anymore.
tebbo65
28 Sep 17#352
This is the cover for the Icon edition.

It also looks to have a 'Not to be sold seperately' mark on it, which I'm not sure if it'll affect trading into CEX or the like.

akchpmn
28 Sep 17#359
Very tempted for this deal - new PS4 slim looks ugly though compared to my launch model but 5ghz wifi may be worth that compromise and the extra warranty for the new console lastly (I hear) better controller - I think I'm won over.
Quick question though. Considering the Xbox One S with FIFA. What trade in would I get for this or would be the same type of deal? If anyone happens to know I'll be grateful. :wink: .

Assuming value of destiny is 30 and the now tv pass is 10 (rough but educated guesses), that still makes the resale value of the ps4 to be in neighbourhood of 150. Doubt you could get that much on gumtree/fb marketplace, even though they are chancers (I've seen a guy selling an Xbox one s 500gb new but unsealed for 200 quid, I quickly pointed them to game's deal with forza and fifa for same price, so he could reevaluate) :smile:

I rang my local store before they shut tonight. This offer is on for 10 days from tomorrow and they said it’s being funded by Sony itself that’s why it’s such a great deal!
They said you need the console, controller, hdmi and power lead. All the original ones. They didn’t mention the chat headset. They said if any of the cables are missing you can give them the new one out of the box or pay a bit extra and they’ll put their 3rd party one with your trade in (usb charging cable would be £7.99). They don’t need the original box.
It takes about 20 mins to test the console.
The console and FIFA aren’t in a bundle but both separate, I didn’t ask which version of FIFA it is but I’d assume standard edition.
Hope this helps!

Whatever you do, just make sure the thumb sticks on your controller are in good order! I took mine in only a week ago and the console was/is immaculate. Dust free, clean, no marks, looks and sounds like it did day one on release. Fully boxed, all cables and instructions. Basically, everything was as new despite the age, except for the left thumb nub on the controller which had a third of the rubber worn away. I did have thumb caps hiding it but thought I'd point it out. Anyway, despite saying it's the best/cleanest looking console he's seen come in in ages, he couldn't take it because of that bit of worn rubber on the controller. He even pointed out to me that the consoles he has in the back are scratched, dust in the vents etc, but couldn't take mine just for that small reason. I even clocked the one in the display window, dints in the side and scratches all over the top. So, bemused, I went to another Game store further into town. Same thing. The guy said it doesn't matter the state of the console as long as it works, as long as the controllers have the rubber on them. I don't know about you, but if I was buying a second hand console, the quality of the system is way more important to me than the controller. Just be warned if your controller is the same, folks.

I’ve just got back from my local store with my new PS4 slim. They said they only honoured it because I rang the store earlier. Charged me for a new charging usb as mine wasn’t the proper one

They didn’t even tell me they were doing it I just gathered when I saw the bill. Couldn’t be bothered to say anything as I’d already waited an hour for everyone to buy Fifa.

Those with P.T on their HDD that don't want to lose it:
Upload your saves to the cloud, then delete everything off your HDD except for P.T. Stick a 4gb minimum USB stick into the console and go to settings and select to backup to USB storage device. It'll take a few mins and will be around 3.5gb once copied. When that's done, deactivate your account from the console and wipe your HDD fully, factory restoring it.
When you get your new console, stick in the USB stick and select to restore data from it before you Dowland/install anything else. It'll install P.T and once you're logged into PSN, it'll work. It wont work until you log in. Despite it no longer being on the store, the activation is still linked to your account and will show as unplayable until you log in for the first time.
Really easy to do, and it's one of those games that's worth keeping. You can also keep it on the USB stick as a back up in case anything happens to your PS4 in the future. Bare in mind though, you can't just add it to an already active PS4, it needs to be added at the time of settings up the console for the first time.

A bit perplexed about the thunbstick being worn thing. My console is 3 years old and has been well used - how can they expect launch models to still above thumbgrips in an immaculate condition?
dannyjones106
29 Sep 17#438
Think I may just grab some replacement thumb sticks off eBay and replace them for the sake of a couple of quid.

So can anyone who's got this deal confirm that the copy of FIFA 18 is a retail one that can be traded in, or is it a bundle copy in the console box itself?
Shane17
29 Sep 17#441
So tempted by this, got original PS4 which I got on Day 1, but the sound of it at times is crazy, sounds like a jumbo jet trying to take off. Don't have a 4K TV so doubt I'd go for the Pro for this reason, very tempted to try it with the Slim though

29 Sep 17#442
Traded mine into my local store with no issues at 12.10am. Got the PS4 slim 1tb, Fifa 18 inside the console box and two months free NOW entertainment too. Happy customer! Note the copy of Fifa inside the box has no barcode and says not to be sold sperate, however, I have traded similar items into CEX before no problem.

Fifa 18 is a bundle copy inside the console box... No barcode on back says "not to be sold separately" instead of. Also has not to be sold separately on front cover as well.

Does the pro justify a £120 difference in price? Can buy the pro and a game for £350 online so doesn't seem that great a deal for that compared to getting the slim

29 Sep 17#447
So altogether they'd need a Power cable, USB cable, PS4 controller, PS4 for a swap! Right?

How thoroughly do Game test the controller? My console was brand new when I got it and after a week or two the trackpad developed an issue where its a bit stiff when you click it. All these years on, it still does it. The press always registers, it's just a bit annoying. It's otherwise working fine.
I've also got a white controller that's close to pristine but guessing they won't take that with a black console.
CFD25
29 Sep 17#457
Thanks for your replies Leehardacre, GeordieRob. And damn I just looked at my black 2nd controller that I never use anymore that I had with my launch ps4 the left thumb stick rubber has gone on the left bottom side, they won't accept that would they?..

shikoku14
29 Sep 17#463
Yeah that is my question too, do they really reject units where you have a larger (and more likely
better) HDD that you have replaced? My 500GB has a 1TB 7200rpm HDD in
now, with the 500GB long gone. Seems weird they'd not accept a larger capacity unit that would be easier to sell on. I could understand them say only offering me £199 against a PS4 pro (and then making a tidy profit on the resale).
JAYSMORRI
29 Sep 17#464
I traded my PS4 in a month or so at Game with an upgraded 1TB in it and got more cash for it so should be no probs!
Pwhite76
29 Sep 17#465
Yeah would be interesting to see whether they scan anything on the console or check the model/serial no. to verify whether it's an original 1TB unit or not. I realise it's only £20 more to pay if they class it as a 500GB unit, but they will make more money from it in the end.

Pwhite76
29 Sep 17#469
Do you wish to save existing data on the PS4 to a hard drive? If so, then as long as the hard drive is using FAT32, then you'll be fine and it shouldn't need reformatting.
nsx2050
29 Sep 17#470
I tried that and it already said it was my primary device on all my accounts.
Any other suggestions would be very welcome.

I created a FAT32 partition on a 2TB drive then backed up the data to there. Currently initialising PS4 now. I have two so I'm tempted to trade in both if they'll let me.
Thanks, I cant see any mention of if you need to have a controller aswell. My original broke so bought a custom controller so dont want to trade that in as it was expensive. Also anyone know how you get the hdd's to work for os again after formatting them for external storage?

Rob_1304
29 Sep 17#476
Ok so I'm going to do this today, but I have P.T. so I know I need to be careful. I'm going to back up my most of my stuff onto my 2Tb portable HDD before wiping it, but please can someone spell out the steps i need to take so i don't screw it up?
- use backup feature (selected games only, especially P.T. - I'll redownload others as required) - deactivate primary PS4 status at this point? - wipe/Factory reset - box it up, go to Game, get shiny new Pro - sign into new PS4 - activate as primary now? - perform restore from portable hdd - Bob's...my uncle?
Worried I've missed something or the order is off. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I only care about retaining P.T. and getting online instantly with no hiccups.

Spoke to my local GAME store.
The rubber on the controllers has to be good and not worn - launch day model and finding out it was a manufacturing defect thats annoying
PS4 must have the original size HDD present
I upgraded my PS4 to 1TB and then upgraded my PS3 to 500gb using my PS4 HDD so I am not going to be undoing that.
Don't know if its worth buying another HDD and replacing thumbsticks as it will add another £40 onto this 'great' deal.
Such a good deal for original 500GB model, probably because they know only a few people will be eligible :disappointed:
With some deals coming out at £200+ for slim model with a game(and/or slightly more for a controller), I suppose its whether I feel my ps4 is worth £100 to me which it is.
£120 to upgrade (taking in costings of buying hdd and thumbsticks) or £220 for new ps4 slim while also being able to keep my old one, Black Friday is approaching, I am hoping for some good Pro deals.
dsided
29 Sep 17#484
My PS4 won't restart (but will power down and power up ok) unless I unplug and plug in the power cord. Anyone know a fix? Seems that replacing the PSU sorts this which is £40 for the parts, however a new machine for about the same is attractive! Anyone have the same issue or think they will notice?

It's essentially £150 trade-in for a 4 year old, well out of warranty launch PS4. Not bad in my opinion and worth it for a more powerful console with fresh warranty (and a sellable game to offset the cost by £35-40).

So I have the original launch version PS4 500MB and I need to buy Fifa 2018 for my nephew so do I go for the PS4 Slim 1TB (don't know which chassis) or do I just opt for PS4 Pro. Don't really use my PS4 that much but I do have a 4K TV.
Pwhite76

I guess it depends on whether you want to splash out £79 or £199? If you don't use the PS4 much, then go for the slim and save your money.

Pwhite76

You would have to backup the whole of your PS4 to an external hard drive and then restore to your new PS4. Otherwise if you have PS Plus then make sure your latest game saves are stored on the PS Cloud and use these on your new PS4 when you set it up. You will then of course need to re-install any game that you had on your old unit.

TO CONFIRM.
I took my PS4 500GB original boxed, with a random HDMI, random charge cable, headset, controller, power lead.
They rejected the controller based on cracked rubber on one thumb stick, the compromise was they swapped out the new one and left me with the old. Mildly frustrating but not a biggie.
They gave me the original headset back.
They were not aware of the Trade in deal - checked and read the T&C's displayed on my phone. Total paid £199.99 Straight to CEX -> £36 cash for FIFA. Outlay = £163.99 for a new 1TB PRO :smile:
Pwhite76
29 Sep 17#523

Pwhite76

29 Sep 17#525
Done and dusted!
Word of warning, Make sure you have 2x Proof of Address with you. I had to go to the bank and get a statement printed out as I didn't have one. After that, they tested it (took about 20 minutes) and then gave me the new console.
My pad was in good condition, all the cables were 3rd party (apart from the Power cable) and the console was in good condition, but the top Glossy bit was wrecked lol a lot of scratches on it. Guy didn't say anything about it, just took it and done.
Now to get rid of Fifa!! Was going to try sell it to someone in the line but it was so busy that I think I'll just jab it on Ebay or Gumtree. Anyone in Bromley want Fifa 18 with the ICON pack? Game asking 55 I think, Would do for 45?
Good Luck all, now to restore the console!

Additionally, FIFA does state 'not to be sold separately' thus reducing the resell value imo. CEX don't care.

There's some ambiguity around various stores on this point. I just spoke to the Reading store who advised that they would only accept a console without a box in 'immaculate' condition (i.e. no marks). Mine is a White 500Gb PS4 and there's a couple of scuffs even though it's fully functional. They advised this would be classed as a C grade console and worth £30 less when trading in. Although the rep did then say that at the moment, the grade B and C consoles were 'unusually' showing up as both having a trade-in price normally associated with a C grade console.

I traded:
PS4 (Fairly worn out/abit dust/scratched) Original HDMI Original Power Lead Random Black USB cable
Note: my orginal PS4 controller had been sold, so i took in a red controller with the rubber sticks worn off, they did not accept the controller becuase of the rubber, but they allowed me to give them the new PS4 controller from the box.
No ID needed just games reward card
And then went to CEX sold FIFA for £36 BIG CASH :smile:

The PS4 PRO should of been the PS4 from the off. Thats just a kick in a teeth releasing the ps4 and then upgrading it couple years later. I might of considered it if the pro had 4K blu-ray player.

Can we add something somewhere in the listing details to say what you need to take to get the trade? Just to save the hundreds of comments asking if you need to take a controller.
I know why people are asking, it's because the comments on here have gone crazy so it's difficult to read through them all.

which number is the serial number? If it's the one under the barcode I'm ok. Don't really feel they should be allowed to keep the brand new controller like that though, that's shady.

Seems like a great deal, but how do you transfer your digital games and saves over to the new console - seems like the old and new console have to be networked to do it and I can't see Game allowing you to do that with their network in store?

done mine this morning - got rejected due to serial number worn on joypad, all other cables generic and mine was US PS4 too. told them to take controller out of box. trading in a few old games for store credit too and walked away with a new PS4 for £21 !!
the women who served me said after 30 days if I had issues I would need to contact Sony Direct, as this is their promotion and that's why they had to be strict as all the trade in's were going back to Sony
the deal is a no brainer - thanks OP

Question about backing up your PS4 before wiping it...
I haven't got an external USB drive / stick, am I right in thinking all my settings and game saves etc are backed up to the PSN network anyway?
Basically, apart from the time it would take to re-download settings, games, game saves etc, is there any difference to backing up to USB or to the 'cloud'?
Thanks in advance

No. Only game saves can be backed up to the cloud. I did try backing my saves to a usb but they were all the same as what is already on the cloud, so didn't bother.
I've just deactivated my account from the console and now formatting/initialising it. I rather do this myself.
Are people going for the Pro or just the 1TB? Think to just get the 1TB.

I did! I opened it up in an attempt to clear the dust that caused it to overheat. The console was on its last legs anyway so traded in for the 1tb this morning. Didn't have the original power lead (was using a Sky one!) So swapped it for the new lead. I've sold the fifa game on a buy and sell fb page for £40 also . A rwally good deal for me.

Just left abbey centre in Belfast. Left my PS4 in with a blue controller (bit of a dodgy one), not the proper usb cable and not the proper hdmi cable. Said it would take about half an hour to test so went and got a munch. Came back and it was sitting behind the counter waiting on me. Dude did try and say that they only offer a 28 days warranty with the PS4 and to contact Sony if any issues. I asked was it brand new. He said yes. He was then informed that was nonsense and if any issues I’ll be coming back to you as that’s where it’s been bought from and it’s a year warranty so don’t talk sh*te.

OK, thanks for the info. I think I'll pick this up today then.... hotukdeals.com/dea…325
I think I'll be going from the 500gb 4 year old original PS4 to the PS4 pro .
It might be beneficial for a few to remember that this deal if currently also running: EXTRA 20% CREDIT WHEN TRADING IN ANY PHONE OR TABLET TERMS AND CONDITIONS: Offer valid in-store ONLY from 07/09/17 to 18/10/17. Customers will receive an extra 20% credit on top of the standard in-store credit price when they trade-in ANY Phone or Tablet at a GAME Retail Limited store during opening hours. The 20% extra credit will be applied automatically at the till. Credit may be used in-store or placed on a GAME gift card for later redemption.
I've got an old iPad 2 laying around doing nothing which should get me £111 credit so I'll be trading that in. Also got the wife's old iPhone 6 - the battery shows full charge but runs out in about 3 hours, but if they accept it for trade in according to the values quoted on the website it's worth £203 which would be boosted to a lovely £243 in store credit!!

That should be fine, you can generally swap hard drives as long as it's the same console. Hard drives are encrypted to the PS4 they belong to, so you can't swap them between consoles however.

Traded two in for a slim and pro this morning. Had no problems apart from a short usb cable so he took the new one out of the slim.

Hi guys,
I’ve done some calculations to see if it’s worth upgrading
to the PS4 Slim or the Pro 1TB
Predicted reduction when the Xbox 1X is released is 25% - that’s
a drop from £230 to 173 (Slim); £350 to
263 (Pro)
Trade-in value for PS4 at Game is £120
Therefore if you waited until Xbox release, slim version is
predicted to cost you £53, Pro will cost you £143 after trade-in
Shane17
29 Sep 17#605
Just to check on this I upgraded from a 500GB to a 2TB I've just removed the 2TB and put the original 500GB back in When I get the new slim model and bring it home, can I just slip the 2TB HD back in? Or do I have to do something else?

I went into GAME to do this with my gen 1 console. They said they can only take B grade consoles, i.e. no significant scratches or many small ones, i thought mine was in good shape but they didn't. Also the controller must be in good condition too, so no weary analogue sticks. Otherwise they will offer you the same deal but for £150.

I got destiny 2 for 20 quid too. 99.99 for a 1TB Slim, FIFA and destiny. CEX give 31 cash for destiny. I had to ask the guy behind the counter to scan destiny after he scanned the PS4 as he didn't know about it.

Fella took his PS4 in. Told it would be 2 hours to check it and when we got back after 2 hours, it still had not been checked. Fella got the slim 500gb PS4 with Fifa for £48.99 so essentially payed for just the game which he wanted anyway and got the free upgrade. Either way he is happy as did not need the additional storage!

I'm predicting that interest rates will rise soon, giving you less disposable income, so the real-time value of the PS4 Pro would increase.
Also, as this country is going down the pan, I predict that we will suffer rolling blackouts, giving you less time to play your afore-mentioned PS4 and so making each minute's play more expensive.
This is sarcasm btw.
Predicting future price drops is ludicrous.
Also you haven't reduced your trade in values - do you think they would stay the same IF the sale price of consoles drops by 25%?! I don't.

Just done the trade - here's some info which may help others...
I had a day1 C-Chassis with 500GB, but I had upgraded it with a 1TB SSD last year. So with a bit of hassle I backed up all accounts saved data and trophies to USB. My son would not be happy if I wiped his Minecraft creations or Rocket League stats, and sub accounts do not get backed up to the PSN cloud, like the primary account does. Hope no one gets caught out with that one.
Then I re-installed the old 500GB drive (which required me to download & install latest Playstation software via a USB stick - formatted to EX-FAT and software installed into PS4/UPDATE folder which had to create first). Had to boot to safe mode (hold On Button on console for 7 seconds until you get a second beep) to load the software and then again to do factory reset.
I bundled a HDMI cable, power lead, Micro USB cable (not the original one) and original black controller (with stick rubber worn off slightly). The guys at the store rejected the controller - as I thought they might - so I took another V1 red controller with me. They rejected that too for this deal as had to be black (although rubber and condition was fine) but instead they swapped out for free the Red one for a Black secondhand one so I could complete the trade. Was very good of them to do that (thanks Reading store!). Told to come back in 40 mins...
When I got back, all was good. What I didn't realise was I could get a 500GB PS4 SLIM with FIFA18 for just £49.99 on top, instead of the 1TB SLIM for £79.99. As I had my 1TB SSD sat at home, was much better deal for me. BTW, the FIFA18 has "Not to be sold separately" printed on the front & back cover.
I have sold my FIFA18 copy for £40 already, so I have a quieter, smaller PS4 with 1 year warranty and new V2 controller upgrade for £10. Thanks OP - very happy. As long as those saves transfer across ok later,,, :worried:

What are you guys doing with your warranty seals :thinking:
If you're opening the system to clean or whatever you can usually use a hairdryer to heat up the sticker so you can lift if off without voiding. I used to do that on the 360 back in the day. I assume it will work on the PS4.

Thumbsticks were in surprisingly good condition but the plastic on the controller was slightly bashed in round the bottom from where I'd dropped it. Not particularly noticeable but definitely not in great condition and felt a bit weird when holding it.

I went 2 stores to sort this trade off.
1st store - Took 500gb model and leads. Took ps3 - almost all leads
Lady tested ps4 and said no trade due to power button not turning off ps4. At home it was working fine.
Ps3 trade to ps4 500gb model did not go ahead due to me leaving power cable at home. She asked me to get ps3 power lead if I want to trade.
I walked out of store empty handed.
I didn't give up. I then went to 2nd store.
Guy said ps4 testing would take 2 hours. 1st store did it in 5 mins and rejected. I left ps4 there with leads after they asked me to show proof of address.
I asked about ps3 he looked ay and said warranty sticker is coming off so no trade. Also before i went to 2nd store grabed power lead for £1 from pound shop.
Now that I had power lead went back to first store she tested ps3 and gave me new for £125. Nice.
Aftet 2 hours went to 2nd store they gave me 1tb new ps4 :smile:
Funny how this worked out in the end.
deadnheadless
29 Sep 17#634
Result! They spent less then 5 minutes checking my old console worked, didn't look at any seals or look at my controller in detail. Picked up the pro with destiny 2 for £220. Also flogged fifa to a guy in the queue for £45 so well happy. A new ps4 pro 1 tb with destiny 2 for £175.
DarrenTurner
29 Sep 17#635
WARNING! Took my fully working ps4 model in today and they said because the glossy part had a couple scratches they wouldn't accept it as a trade offer. Something to do with console grade quality. Again, mine was more than satisfactory and they'll never find old 500gb consoles with no scratches on the glossy part unless it's brand new out a box. Nothing of that mentioned in the Terms of service either which is BS.
Probably hoped I'd just trade it in for the non trade deal. Nope. Took my original model right out of there. Has anyone experience anything similar?

I traded mine in fine and got the Slim 1TB. My 500gb original was 2nd hand and the glossy part was super scratched up. I thought they would reject it but must have been overlooked due to how busy it was in the store.
As this deal goes on for a while, you can always buy a replacement cover from ebay. They are around 10 pounds, or, you could just try another store. Seems like some stores are being a lot more strict that others!

29 Sep 17#645
The issue was that they could reapply seals themselves I.e get fresh ones, (I don't keep a fresh spare seals at home) As in anyone could just get seals and put them on. I had my old seals on but they were obviously tampered with.

29 Sep 17#646
The point being that they don't want to, why would they want the hassle of selling on something that you've potentially had a fiddle with?
I thought you were implying that you could have tampered with it, then re-applied new seals, and traded it in.

Took mine into the Ricoh Arena Store in Coventry. First of all they acted as if they had no knowledge of the deal. Then said they wouldn't be able to accept it due to it being a c grade, literally their are light surface scratches on the glossy part and it didn't have a box. After I argued them down on their own terms and conditions on their website they decided to accept it but then rejected it because the plug is apparently not official, however it's the one I got in the box?
Anyone know the best way to continue now?

I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to whoever posted this originally!!
My launch day PS4 was sounding like it was requesting clearance to take off and had seen better days.
Now I’ve sorted out my space challenges, got a much smaller unit with new warranty AND got FIFA 18 and Destiny 2 all for £99.
THANK YOU!!
And thanks to those who helped by saying what you had to bring etc. - much appreciated!!

Yes I swapped my C-chassis in today no problems - unsure on stock though I'm afraid.

Just got back from my trade, noticed my warranty stickers were dodgy and remembered I'd opened it to clean it a year or so ago. They didn't seem to care though and accepted the trade. I gave them the controller from my new one as the only controllers I have are special ones (and a new silver one), so I wasn't willing to part with them. Just restoring my system now. It's so much quieter!
I didn't get a now TV code though, bit disappointed there

Can anyone tell me what the official plug for the original ps4 says on it/looks like?

29 Sep 17#664
Awesome! Thanks :-)
£148 for PS4 Pro!! Followed some other users on here and as soon as I'd bought it, I flogged FIFA 18 to someone in the queue for £45. Also had some credit on my reward card and got rid of SW Battlefront for a coupel of quid, so all in all - really happy. Thanks again!!

Such a farce over at Coventry Ricoh, First it had to be strictly 500gb original for the slim, slim for the pro, corrected them on that, then it had to be higher than a c grade console for the deal, box and all.. corrected them on that, they said they couldn't do it. All staff and manager making a scene. Manager sticking his long ass finger nails in to the rubber grips on the bottom of the console trying to find something up with it, he then says after I argued him down that he'll put it through "this time" and told the guy at the till to "clean it up right", next thing the guy says the plug isn't official and he can't "physically accept it", I thought f*** it at this point and walked out cause they were blatantly taking every step they could to not honour the deal. Scrutinising the console for light scratches on the glossy part, they're not even deep, you can't feel them with your finger but nope, thats a C grade apparently. There is no 4 year old ps4 console without scratches. It's a joke. I think im going to make an official complaint about this, it's not the fact I didn't get the console this evening cause I'll get it elsewhere tomorrow, its the exhaustive and humiliating efforts they all went to to make a scene and reject my attempt at getting this deal

Was thinking this would be good to upgrade to a 1tb slim. But then someone told me, why don't you just uninstall games you do not play as much , as your saves don't get wiped.
In that case , now storage isn't an issue, is there any other reason to upgrade to a 1tb slim?

29 Sep 17#669
Who says interest rates = less income? People without mortgages/debt are unaffected. People with large savings will benefit. Your prediction on blackouts is laughable
Sarcasm btw
Fair point on the trade in value. 25% reduction was seen in the black Friday deal last year so yes it is possible and gives an idea of what it will cost now Vs black Friday.

Went to one local store. They checked my PS4, said it would take 5 hours to test, then realised they had no stock of the new one.
They kindly called another local store, who had plenty of stock and said it'd take an hour, and they were right.
They only asked for one form of ID.
Bear in mind the full reset process takes over an hour - I did this at home. Game said they only do a quick reset, which doesn't sound very thorough to me.
Also, you can copy your saves to a USB, and back onto the new console. That also takes a while if you have loads of Minecraft saves like my little one has!
Overheard them say it doesn't matter whether the trade-in is A, B, or C grade. They all equal £150 value on their system. Mine had one scratch but they didn't mind.
The game is a physical copy inside the console box, and says "not for resale" on the cover.

Is the Overwatch / Destiny 2 deal nationwide or store specific? Might be tempted to throw in Overwatch if so!
theexile2k3
29 Sep 17#686
that's an understatement.
Went back up with the cable I had, which was in fact the genuine one that came with the console, once I proved this to them they all of a sudden couldn't test it today cause they shut in 40 mins and had "4 consoles currently being tested". The shop was empty by the way. The manager was a dick once again as be was earlier, no doubt because I knew more about his companies offers and policies than he did so I took their name and am complaining to head office . I've never seen such a bunch of incompetent, misinformed, arrogant, rude and unprofessional retail staff in my life!

Completely crazy day tryin to trade in my ps4 the first store Was Southend what a waste of time they didn't know the deal was on then they told me to leave the console for checking only to tell me 2 hours later the usb ports were not working which of course they were so that was a waste of time, basildon tested it but had it for over 2 hours and said it was fine but all in all 4 hours of hanging around for this deal.

To all that have successfully traded in consoles today
how did you get on with your controllers & leads
Were the leads official - if not any issues?
Did the controller have any damage to the joystick. Again if so any issues, what was the resolution?
CFD25
29 Sep 17#696
They did not accept my controller, as the rubber was worn on the joystick. but said we can take the one from the new Playstation box nd keep your original controller. So that's what I done.

Very unlikely with the 360. Xbox one might have more of a chance but you get this good a deal unfortunately. Best bet take it in and give it a go. Just wipe it first.

29 Sep 17#700
Just registered to post my experience. It was fine, in and out in 30mins forte shopping centre Birmingham branch. Traded 500gb ps4 4 year old. It was in great condition. Before even testing it the guy said its grade b as expected. A grade is like new.
Mine was fully boxed with everything you would expect including original usb cable, power adapter, hdmi cable and controller with serial number showing. Although I dont think they were too bothered.
Also traded in fifa 15 albeit for 30p. Far cry4, assassins creed syndicate and the last of us.
In total paid £176 for the ps4 pro.

They wouldn’t accept my controller as the rubber was worn ,so asked them to take the new one out of the box as a exchange ,which they did . power cable ,hdmi and usb cable were just random ones out of the cupboard. Took about a hour and half before I walked out with my new ps as it was busy

Hey, did your power cable have a white 'important' sticker at the plug end of the cable? Is there anything specific on the power lead that specifies it being a original? Thanks!

Went to Croydon Game this afternoon got told they couldn't take trade-ins at all because of a computer problem. Wasted £3.70 on the parking and an hour or so to get there and back. Pretty annoying. Are some stores trying hard not to honour this? It sure seems like it based on some of these comments.

29 Sep 17#704
Went in there today. Big queue mainly for FIFA. A guy checked the ps4 over in the quue but told me they’d reject it as the rubber is perished on the controller. He offered to sell m a second hand one for £38 so I could do the deal. I politely declined. I have other controllers at home so will try again with a better one tomorrow.

Well this is a no go for me then as I've only had 3 controllers, the 2 launch controllers, which one is totally destroyed(donated the semi decent thumb sticks for the second launch controller as it started to creep when not touching the stick) the second launch controller looks like this(and this is the donated analogue sticks) and now my custom controller. :cry:

I 'brushed' the glossy plastic on my ps4, anyone else do this and try take it in?
Ok had a tough time with this one but worked out well for me. Went to first store they had stock but wanted ID which I didn't have also wanted new pad as mine was worn. 2nd store had no stock but didn't need ID but also said pad was no good. He tested mine asked me to come back in 40mins. On return said all good would order me one online deliver to store and I keep the new pad. Result

Had quite the experience with this deal on my effing day off today, drove to my local store, paid the extortionate car parking fee, got to the store, queued, was met by a surly lad, who was unsure whether they could accept a white one... His manager confirmed what I'd already knew. I kept the original box with all the original accessories including the never been used headset. Was told it would take TWO hours to test, I'd literally been playing 16 that morning (having sold 17 on eBay), it's close to four years old, but been kept well. I had to to put another three quid on the car and hang around Birkenhead.
Returned to be told they couldn't accept it because the R1 button on the pad was loose, when they say loose it's something I've not noticed because I've used it so much but fair enough, what's the option? 'we can't take it mate sorry'
OK fine, annoying but fine. The lad shows me the box I give it a glance and think fine I'll just order the game off amazon and continue to use my "loose" R1 button.
Get home and realise they've, for some bizarre reason, taken the headset out and not put it back. It's tiny, I missed it in the bag of wires in the shop. It's not worth the time, petrol, parking or effort to go back but I'll never go back to Game again, the dismissive gobshites, no wonder the high street is dying.

I dont think so.The 360 is no longer in production either plus the x one does backwards compatabilty so no one wants the 360 at all.Ive got two which isnt even worth trying to sell.Try waiting black friday and see what comes about.

Belfast - Game in Connswater. Just got a trade in for fat 500gb to a 1tb slim for £80. They gave me a 500gb slim by mistake and nearly charged me £50. For more info my controller was beat up as it was a launch controller from day 1 (console in good shape). A new trainee was not gonna do the deal it seemed but the manager kept saying yes its all good. Nice fellas tbh. The manager also said last one to other staff. I asked am I the last to get this deal and he said yes. Im not sure if he meant today as it was late on. At the end I got a 1tb and a new controller plus 5ghz wifi plus a new machine with warranty. Then fifa 18 which I will sell and recoup some money. I was gonna buy a new controller anyway for the console I traded in so just added a few quid more got a new system to. Thanks for the heads up. BTW bring photo ID.

Went in after work and spoke to the Store Manager yesterday. Think after speaking to him I am gonna go for the Pro version.
Trading in my Old PS4 1TB which should knock the price down to £179.99
Trading in the Below for Store Credit:
Playstation TV - £20 Xbox 360 E 500gb - £41 PS3 Slim - 320GB - £45
Been advised I can use the Store Credit from the other products to further off-set the cost of the Pro so in theory it should only cost me £73.99.
Might look around to see if I have any old PS3 games laying around and trade those in too.
Can anyone confirm if the bundled copy of Fifa is Physical or Digital as I might even trade that back in too to get more money off.?

30 Sep 17#719
Hallelujah!
There are also two offers available in store when you're buying a
console, Destiny 2 for £20 and a new ps4 controller for £30. Not ideal i
guess but if people are having to keep their original controllers and
really want the updated version, it's an option i suppose!

Has anyone who done this deal struggling to gets gta5 working. Not sure if common fault as there are a a lot of people o YouTube struggling to Get gta5 to install.

Anyone in Manchester got gta5 and I could possibly try it lol.

Just to put my experience in....
My console had a few light scratches and the barcode on the back of the controller rubbed off. That was no issue though.
They didn't really seem to know much about the deals available. He said they weren't including the Pro version as an option but I could buy it for £350. So I showed them their website and he put it through. I also had to wait two hours (I went at 1pm) so try to go as early as possible to try and avoid this.

Actually tempted to vote hot...
"Trade-In PS4 Slim 500GB Console and Get PS4 Slim 500GB Console with FIFA 18 £124.99"
I'm specifically talking about the deal which I quoted in my post :thinking:
Actually reading some of the comments on here, that deal is starting to make sense...
So currently I need to upgrade the HDD on it, and my son wants Fifa 18 so for me it is a good deal as a new 1TB HDD and Fifa would cost me more than £80, plus I get a new console/controller and new warranty etc.
Edit: I see what you mean now, didn't see that deal down the bottom, just saw the first one!! :grin:
I can't seem to find the link though that directs you to the page. :thinking:
I would imagine there is a way to backup eveything from the old unit, onto an external HDD for example then restore the data onto the new machine?
Black Friday isn't too far off though, so I think I can wait for a decent deal to crop up then.
But I'd say the Ps4 is due its seasonal price drop, once the xbox x hits the shelves, Sony will unleash some killer deals.
Hot.
Silly not to really.
All these questions "does it need to work?". Nah mate they'll take a hollowed-out PS4 shell, they're not fussed if it switches on or plays games :thinking:
rly?
I recently managed to get a decent trade in with my Pro and Destiny 2 got £301 trade in value for them against the White Pro Destiny 2 bundle, so had to pay extra £49 for it but obviously got another years warranty and also the season pass for D2 :smile: (Elite membership required)
The 79.99 for upgrading the slim and getting Fifa with it is amazing. (That's if you were already buying Fifa anyway for say £40/£45 ish).
My launch model is a 500gb which I upgraded to a 1tb... Think they'd accept that as a 1tb?
I've got a launch PS4 that occasionally holds onto discs, and needs a bit of persuasion to eject. They wouldn't accept it :disappointed:
Yea i was thinking to do my old ps4 and get the slim but now prob going to trade in my boys ps3 slim and put the ps4 away for Christmas for him. Least he go play upstairs in his room instead of hogging my game time in the front room
wipe it all out clean the console they can still test it when you bring it to the store
IF the game is physical...
Seriously tempted!
game.co.uk/en/…445
Tempted to upgrade my launch PS4 (mainly due to space restrictions!)
Do i have to take the box and the original controller too? or literally just stick the console in a bag and take it in, without controller?
I have the original box and pad still, just wondering thats all.
Also, how do i go about backing up my ps4 easily to simply transfer all the data over to the new one?
When I traded in my PS3 they wouldn't accept it without the USB cable for the controller : /
The more I think about this deal, the more I feel like going in on it, but there's a voice in the back of my head telling me to wait for Black Friday instead
1 Console (working, with an HDD inside). Tamper seals intact.
1 Controller (working - as in, will connect to the console, and operate the console).
1 Power lead.
1 HDMI lead.
1 USB Cable.
You might get away with not having the little chat earphone, depending on the store.
They will try to install and play a game. If it doesn't work, for whatever reason, it won't be accepted.
They clearly say "Warranty void if removed / damaged" or something close to that.
And I did own one for a few months to try and replace the PC but went back.

Uncharted is good for exclusives though, still have my PS4 for that.
asking for a friend.....
PS4 500gb is worth around £120-150 cash on sphock gumtree.
So it's a fair offer. If it was a 500gb and games to trade up. I'd see it as typical Game doing their usual.
Can see myself stood behind a massive queue of people asking "does it matter if it works?" "oh did you want a controller lol", "what's an HDMI lead?"...
Value my sanity over a bit of store credit.
Removed mine to clean out the dust.
I'd rather put the money towards a GTX 1070 and keep my old PS4.
Still, hot deal if you're looking for a new console or FIFA.

When I tried to backup my OG PS4 - I had to have an external HD with the FREE SPACE equal to PS4 , and it took hours and hours.
My advice would be to backup save data ,and just reinstall / redownload everything else
Rather do this with GAME but I already got FIFA downloaded for tonight so don't think it's worth the hassle.
Very tempted ,I have a PS4 Pro - and an OG PS4 .....
OG PS4 sounds horrendous hence getting a pro - but now its being left unused - £80 for a new console /new controller and FIFA to trade-in .... too good to miss
Anyway I'm done here, I'm sure we both have better things to do with our time than this.
A bunch of ps3 update okay then?
Why are you paying £125 to trade in a PS4 slim just to get FIFA 18?
Go onto the website at the bottom it states "PS3 Slim or Super Slim""
"
They updated the picture for the PS3 trade-in, really tempted now:
Anyone know if they'll accept consoles with void warranty stickers?
And yeah, the warranty sticker is an issue for me to. I opened my one up 2 months ago to give it a proper clean after too much dust built up inside.
As I have 2 UK accounts, 1 US account, and 2 further UK accounts that have never even been online.
If I swap out the 2tb I have in my Original PS4 without formatting it, put the old 500 back in, trade in, strip the 500 out of the slim, put the 2tb back in the slim, will it recognise all my downloaded stuff or will it wipe the 2 tb as soon as it's put in the new console?
Only doubt I have is we might see some good ps pro bundles during black Friday and the run up to Xmas...
Dont fancy finishing work at 7am, hanging around town for two hours to be told I need the box.
Took them about 15 / 20 minutes to test the console and they didn't need the box, just the controller + cables it originally came with.
This was at about 10:00am so obviously the quiter the store is the better!
I'll ask them about the 1tb HDD upgrade being acceptable or not.
Seriously tempted by this....was considering xb1x but I can't bring myself to drop £450 on one!
HDMI Cable
USB Charging cable for controller
Plus my OG black controller is broken, and I wouldn't trade in the other coloured editions. I'll have to break out the tools again as I replaced the battery twice but the light bar only stays on for moments before shutting down again.
One thing to keep in mind is FIFA 18 will be probably only worth 25 quid I can imagine resale wise due to a lot of people trying to sell it
and ends Monday apparently. Said it would be difficult testing machine tomorrow but would probably be done but only due to the FIFA launch. I asked what was needed to do it and simply was told:
console
controller
hdmi cable
power cable
usb charging cable
he did say if I had a box it would be great but not necessary. Gonna pop in first thing to try and sort mine out.
i bought the ps4 500gb slim with extra controller and horizon for £199 an drew sold my old ps4 for £110 and the extra controller for £35 , played horizon and then soldier that for £30 so in total only payed £25 for a slim ps4 which is a lot quieter cooler and more energy efficiently with a new warranty and new controller
Take it out back and do it behind closed doors or do you get to see the whole process?
My HDMI cable is abit bent too due to being pushed up against a cabinet, would this matter?
HDMI cables are usually quite bendy. Do you meant to say that it's broken?
HDMI works fine, its just the first part of the wire is now bent in an upwards position. the connector itself is fine.
I've misplaced the original and only have a 1m Anker one handy.
:thumbsup: That's exactly what I plan to do with my launch day system.
I just hope my local store is involved in the offer.
So for £189.99 I had a game I wanted (Horizon Zero Dawn) an extra controller and sold my old PS4 to CEX for £130 cash and got something like £32 cash at the time for Resident Evil 7 as it was a pretty new release.
With this deal, for anyone just after the change of console it would not be hard to get £35 for a sealed copy of Fifa 18 (providing it is a physical copy in the package)
Advantages of the Slim are its reduced manufacturing APU die, cooler, more energy efficient, removable lid without having to invalidate the warranty for cleaning the fan and a vastly superior V2 controller.
I have no regrets in upgrading, particularly to the glacier white model, not everyone is a fan of the redesign but personally think such as with the PS3 Slim the redesign is nicer.
Also purchased games from psn store. Do they stay on your account?
Reasons; new warranty, new slim console with 1TB HDD rather than 500GB, new v2 controller (usb compatible reduced gamer lag) and old one was on last legs, 5ghz WiFi, quieter & more ECO....
Fifa is currently being bid at £40 on fleabay so all in all looking at a new system for £40 ish outlay, absolute no-brainer..........HEAT HEAT HEAT from ME ME ME.
Hate to be lose all my witcher 3 saves and many hours clocked up
Backup your stuff to an external hard drive/USB via the backup and restore menu within settings.
game are looking after the console and will be traded in tonight for the launch.
Question is, Do i go for a Slim Or Pro?
I dont have a 4K Telly yet and i carnt see myself getting one untill my tv dies
did they say anything about your controller, my local game said because the analouge sticks were worn they would not accept it and just keep the new controller from the new bundle.
I have enjoyed reading this thread
:grin:
500gb fat ps4 . Contoller. Usb. Hdmi and power lead hand over 79.99 for new 1tb with fifa 18 or slim ps3 and 129.99 for the seal. Goes live at midnight but local store wont do it till tomorrow . Or trade in this evening and pick-up at midnight when game released
I dont have a 4K Telly yet and i carnt see myself getting one untill my tv dies
but ive been reading reandering and graphics look better with the pro ona 1080p tv?
All advertising says normal 1tb phat version but comments by people saying u get a 1tb slim version.
I have been aware of this deal for a good few days before it was posted, my local have saved me one, but no early testing or exchange can be done until tbe 29th.
Wonder what they mean by satisfactory condition. My console works fine, but one of my dogs scratched the side/top of the console when she was freaking out when fireworks were going off last year........
its a console bundle with game
just wouldnt let me pre order it as the trade in has to happen the ssme time as the console is purchase
You already had the machine tested and paid the difference? So you have a store credit or receipt to swap over tomorrow?
I wasnt offered that, just told we have put one aside for you.
No box is needed - wasnt needed for mine anyways
just wouldnt let me pre order it as the trade in has to happen the same time as the console is purchase
so ill be getting it tonight on the lsunch, just not sure wether to get soim or pro
playstation.com/en-…ro/
Not daft question as it looks as if different stores do different things.
Hope that helps.
:thumbsup:
Side not the dualshock 4’s thumbsticks shouldnt be worn away although not sure how good the condition should be of the thumbsticks
The confusion between xb1, xb1s, and xb1x being the most common. Keep calm and carry on trolling...
thanks!
eurogamer.net/art…000
I have a launch Knack bundle, if I have to take the box would they expect the game aswell? Hope not I gave it away years ago.
Stand to be corrected.
But also you need to deactivate as your primary PS4, so that your PlayStation Network account isn't associated to the PS4 anymore.
That can't be right?
Quick question though. Considering the Xbox One S with FIFA. What trade in would I get for this or would be the same type of deal? If anyone happens to know I'll be grateful. :wink: .
Here's the how to link for anyone who needs it,

' at 369. Wonder how much trade in the original 500gb ps4 usually gets?
but if you have time, do a full format
I will put the original drive back in and give to game as it was originally (no warranty stickers were touched to change drives I think).
Second hand price of FIFA gonna tumble quick!
And, I like the rhombus look of the classic PS4.
This deal seems hot but doesn't interest me
Think my friends will be pleased I can’t unleash it on them unbeknownst anymore :joy:
I tried to ring Game to ask a few hours ago but after waiting in a queue for 47 minutes I gave up
They said you need the console, controller, hdmi and power lead. All the original ones. They didn’t mention the chat headset. They said if any of the cables are missing you can give them the new one out of the box or pay a bit extra and they’ll put their 3rd party one with your trade in (usb charging cable would be £7.99). They don’t need the original box.
It takes about 20 mins to test the console.
The console and FIFA aren’t in a bundle but both separate, I didn’t ask which version of FIFA it is but I’d assume standard edition.
Hope this helps!
They have offered to sell me a gift card for 79.99 and hold one back to collect tomorrow....
So not a completely wasted journey. Oh and they expect the console to be reset to factory settings.
Good luck!
We have got a ps3 we could possibly slip away with but my husband wants the pro version really
They did try and blag me with an in-store price until I shown them the website offer then they soon backed down
Lol.
Out of interest, what's the difference between the PS4 Pro, and the non Pro?, thanx. :-)
I got mine repaired and the stickers weren't on the back so two stores wouldn't let me swap.
I've bought the stickers off bay gonna restick and see if they'll accept it
Cheers op
im currently waiting for mine - but all paid for
Standard, but comes with
I took mine in only a week ago and the console was/is immaculate. Dust free, clean, no marks, looks and sounds like it did day one on release. Fully boxed, all cables and instructions. Basically, everything was as new despite the age, except for the left thumb nub on the controller which had a third of the rubber worn away. I did have thumb caps hiding it but thought I'd point it out. Anyway, despite saying it's the best/cleanest looking console he's seen come in in ages, he couldn't take it because of that bit of worn rubber on the controller. He even pointed out to me that the consoles he has in the back are scratched, dust in the vents etc, but couldn't take mine just for that small reason. I even clocked the one in the display window, dints in the side and scratches all over the top.
So, bemused, I went to another Game store further into town. Same thing. The guy said it doesn't matter the state of the console as long as it works, as long as the controllers have the rubber on them.
I don't know about you, but if I was buying a second hand console, the quality of the system is way more important to me than the controller.
Just be warned if your controller is the same, folks.
Hope I don't get any grief first thing in the morning when I visit my local.
Wouldn't they let you give them the cable out of the new system?
People were picking up their mini snes’s as well and it’s tiny!! Mine should be delivered later today, 2 new/old consoles in one day
they accepted mine with no issue
Upload your saves to the cloud, then delete everything off your HDD except for P.T.
Stick a 4gb minimum USB stick into the console and go to settings and select to backup to USB storage device. It'll take a few mins and will be around 3.5gb once copied.
When that's done, deactivate your account from the console and wipe your HDD fully, factory restoring it.
When you get your new console, stick in the USB stick and select to restore data from it before you Dowland/install anything else. It'll install P.T and once you're logged into PSN, it'll work. It wont work until you log in. Despite it no longer being on the store, the activation is still linked to your account and will show as unplayable until you log in for the first time.
Really easy to do, and it's one of those games that's worth keeping. You can also keep it on the USB stick as a back up in case anything happens to your PS4 in the future. Bare in mind though, you can't just add it to an already active PS4, it needs to be added at the time of settings up the console for the first time.
Right?
I might take my launch ps4 500gb in, I have up till 9th October to make my mind up.
I just don't know what to do ha.
Go in ready prepared for this. I will be. Terms and conditions state satisfactory condition, that basically means working but not excellent or perfect condition.
I've also got a white controller that's close to pristine but guessing they won't take that with a black console.
And damn I just looked at my black 2nd controller that I never use anymore that I had with my launch ps4 the left thumb stick rubber has gone on the left bottom side, they won't accept that would they?..
Any other suggestions would be very welcome.
- use backup feature (selected games only, especially P.T. - I'll redownload others as required)
- deactivate primary PS4 status at this point?
- wipe/Factory reset
- box it up, go to Game, get shiny new Pro
- sign into new PS4
- activate as primary now?
- perform restore from portable hdd
- Bob's...my uncle?
Worried I've missed something or the order is off. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I only care about retaining P.T. and getting online instantly with no hiccups.
The rubber on the controllers has to be good and not worn - launch day model and finding out it was a manufacturing defect thats annoying
PS4 must have the original size HDD present
I upgraded my PS4 to 1TB and then upgraded my PS3 to 500gb using my PS4 HDD so I am not going to be undoing that.
Don't know if its worth buying another HDD and replacing thumbsticks as it will add another £40 onto this 'great' deal.
Such a good deal for original 500GB model, probably because they know only a few people will be eligible :disappointed:
With some deals coming out at £200+ for slim model with a game(and/or slightly more for a controller), I suppose its whether I feel my ps4 is worth £100 to me which it is.
£120 to upgrade (taking in costings of buying hdd and thumbsticks) or £220 for new ps4 slim while also being able to keep my old one, Black Friday is approaching, I am hoping for some good Pro deals.

It seems that some of these shops haven't got a clue what the offer actually involves!!
In relation to your other question, you're probably better off ringing your local store for confirmation.
Otherwise if you have PS Plus then make sure your latest game saves are stored on the PS Cloud and use these on your new PS4 when you set it up. You will then of course need to re-install any game that you had on your old unit.
Can't seem to find a local store number anywhere, just a generic 0208 one which tells me all their lines are busy & hang's up :rage:
What if you said they could keep the new controller and you'll keep the old one?
I took my PS4 500GB original boxed, with a random HDMI, random charge cable, headset, controller, power lead.
They rejected the controller based on cracked rubber on one thumb stick, the compromise was they swapped out the new one and left me with the old. Mildly frustrating but not a biggie.
They gave me the original headset back.
They were not aware of the Trade in deal - checked and read the T&C's displayed on my phone.
Total paid £199.99
Straight to CEX -> £36 cash for FIFA.
Outlay = £163.99 for a new 1TB PRO :smile:
Word of warning, Make sure you have 2x Proof of Address with you. I had to go to the bank and get a statement printed out as I didn't have one. After that, they tested it (took about 20 minutes) and then gave me the new console.
My pad was in good condition, all the cables were 3rd party (apart from the Power cable) and the console was in good condition, but the top Glossy bit was wrecked lol a lot of scratches on it. Guy didn't say anything about it, just took it and done.
Now to get rid of Fifa!! Was going to try sell it to someone in the line but it was so busy that I think I'll just jab it on Ebay or Gumtree. Anyone in Bromley want Fifa 18 with the ICON pack? Game asking 55 I think, Would do for 45?
Good Luck all, now to restore the console!
Did you already have a Game Reward card?
Game reward card only.
Additionally, FIFA does state 'not to be sold separately' thus reducing the resell value imo. CEX don't care.
I assume you guys got the half price Papa Johns voucher and the 2 for 1 at Alton Towers too?
Stonking deal all round, but Game should have one communication for all.
Yeah - OK MATE :grin: :joy: :sunglasses:
I traded:
PS4 (Fairly worn out/abit dust/scratched)
Original HDMI
Original Power Lead
Random Black USB cable
Note: my orginal PS4 controller had been sold, so i took in a red controller with the rubber sticks worn off, they did not accept the controller becuase of the rubber, but they allowed me to give them the new PS4 controller from the box.
No ID needed just games reward card
And then went to CEX sold FIFA for £36 BIG CASH :smile:
? What if the controller is showing some wear and tear on the sticks - Sorry we couldn't offer you the deal.
? What if the controller has the serial number rubbed out - Sorry we couldn't offer you the deal.
ridiculous rule about the controller serial number....
I know why people are asking, it's because the comments on here have gone crazy so it's difficult to read through them all.

the women who served me said after 30 days if I had issues I would need to contact Sony Direct, as this is their promotion and that's why they had to be strict as all the trade in's were going back to Sony
the deal is a no brainer - thanks OP
Don't want to jump hurdles for FIFA and on paper, if you can trade for destiny bundle then can get more cash back I guess.
No one is forcing you to go and buy a Pro!
I haven't got an external USB drive / stick, am I right in thinking all my settings and game saves etc are backed up to the PSN network anyway?
Basically, apart from the time it would take to re-download settings, games, game saves etc, is there any difference to backing up to USB or to the 'cloud'?
Thanks in advance
I've just deactivated my account from the console and now formatting/initialising it. I rather do this myself.
Are people going for the Pro or just the 1TB? Think to just get the 1TB.
The console was on its last legs anyway so traded in for the 1tb this morning. Didn't have the original power lead (was using a Sky one!) So swapped it for the new lead.
I've sold the fifa game on a buy and sell fb page for £40 also . A rwally good deal for me.
No issues.
I think I'll be going from the 500gb 4 year old original PS4 to the PS4 pro .
It might be beneficial for a few to remember that this deal if currently also running:
EXTRA 20% CREDIT WHEN TRADING IN ANY PHONE OR TABLET

The 20% extra credit will be applied automatically at the till. Credit may be used in-store or placed on a GAME gift card for later redemption.
I've got an old iPad 2 laying around doing nothing which should get me £111 credit so I'll be trading that in.
Also got the wife's old iPhone 6 - the battery shows full charge but runs out in about 3 hours, but if they accept it for trade in according to the values quoted on the website it's worth £203 which would be boosted to a lovely £243 in store credit!!

Seems to be the biggest issue people are reporting so far.
I’ve done some calculations to see if it’s worth upgrading to the PS4 Slim or the Pro 1TB
Predicted reduction when the Xbox 1X is released is 25% - that’s a drop from £230 to 173 (Slim); £350 to 263 (Pro)
Trade-in value for PS4 at Game is £120
Therefore if you waited until Xbox release, slim version is predicted to cost you £53, Pro will cost you £143 after trade-in
I upgraded from a 500GB to a 2TB
I've just removed the 2TB and put the original 500GB back in
When I get the new slim model and bring it home, can I just slip the 2TB HD back in? Or do I have to do something else?
Fella got the slim 500gb PS4 with Fifa for £48.99 so essentially payed for just the game which he wanted anyway and got the free upgrade. Either way he is happy as did not need the additional storage!
Also, as this country is going down the pan, I predict that we will suffer rolling blackouts, giving you less time to play your afore-mentioned PS4 and so making each minute's play more expensive.
This is sarcasm btw.
Predicting future price drops is ludicrous.
Also you haven't reduced your trade in values - do you think they would stay the same IF the sale price of consoles drops by 25%?! I don't.
They are willing to swap the controller from the new bundle if there is wear on the thumbsticks.
I had a day1 C-Chassis with 500GB, but I had upgraded it with a 1TB SSD last year. So with a bit of hassle I backed up all accounts saved data and trophies to USB. My son would not be happy if I wiped his Minecraft creations or Rocket League stats, and sub accounts do not get backed up to the PSN cloud, like the primary account does. Hope no one gets caught out with that one.
Then I re-installed the old 500GB drive (which required me to download & install latest Playstation software via a USB stick - formatted to EX-FAT and software installed into PS4/UPDATE folder which had to create first). Had to boot to safe mode (hold On Button on console for 7 seconds until you get a second beep) to load the software and then again to do factory reset.
I bundled a HDMI cable, power lead, Micro USB cable (not the original one) and original black controller (with stick rubber worn off slightly). The guys at the store rejected the controller - as I thought they might - so I took another V1 red controller with me. They rejected that too for this deal as had to be black (although rubber and condition was fine) but instead they swapped out for free the Red one for a Black secondhand one so I could complete the trade. Was very good of them to do that (thanks Reading store!). Told to come back in 40 mins...
When I got back, all was good. What I didn't realise was I could get a 500GB PS4 SLIM with FIFA18 for just £49.99 on top, instead of the 1TB SLIM for £79.99. As I had my 1TB SSD sat at home, was much better deal for me. BTW, the FIFA18 has "Not to be sold separately" printed on the front & back cover.
I have sold my FIFA18 copy for £40 already, so I have a quieter, smaller PS4 with 1 year warranty and new V2 controller upgrade for £10. Thanks OP - very happy. As long as those saves transfer across ok later,,, :worried:
Usb
Power
That gives me a brand new updated model console with larger 1TB HDD and the updated controller for <£40.
Thank you Sony for subsidising the deal :smile:
No issues.
Game lottery deal :thinking:
If you're opening the system to clean or whatever you can usually use a hairdryer to heat up the sticker so you can lift if off without voiding.
I used to do that on the 360 back in the day. I assume it will work on the PS4.
Flogged FIFA to a guy in the queue for £48, as the store had run out.
£32 for a new console, 12 month's warranty, £6 game points and a now TV pass!! Well happy! :thumbsup:
Console must be traded in with an official controller & charge cable, HDMI cable and power cable. Console does not need to be in a box to trade in
1st store - Took 500gb model and leads. Took ps3 - almost all leads
Lady tested ps4 and said no trade due to power button not turning off ps4. At home it was working fine.
Ps3 trade to ps4 500gb model did not go ahead due to me leaving power cable at home. She asked me to get ps3 power lead if I want to trade.
I walked out of store empty handed.
I didn't give up. I then went to 2nd store.
Guy said ps4 testing would take 2 hours. 1st store did it in 5 mins and rejected. I left ps4 there with leads after they asked me to show proof of address.
I asked about ps3 he looked ay and said warranty sticker is coming off so no trade. Also before i went to 2nd store grabed power lead for £1 from pound shop.
Now that I had power lead went back to first store she tested ps3 and gave me new for £125. Nice.
Aftet 2 hours went to 2nd store they gave me 1tb new ps4 :smile:
Funny how this worked out in the end.
Probably hoped I'd just trade it in for the non trade deal. Nope. Took my original model right out of there. Has anyone experience anything similar?
As this deal goes on for a while, you can always buy a replacement cover from ebay. They are around 10 pounds, or, you could just try another store. Seems like some stores are being a lot more strict that others!
Good luck!
Give another game store a try or go in another day when the staff members not in
seems legit :thinking:
I think it's down to pot luck with the staff and how they have been briefed with this trade in and how busy the store is. The gentleman I spoke with didn't remove the consoles from the boxes prior to issuing the credit note probably due to around a dozen people waiting behind me.
I thought you were implying that you could have tampered with it, then re-applied new seals, and traded it in.
Anyone know the best way to continue now?
Just called a different store and they said they'd take a replacement plug
My launch day PS4 was sounding like it was requesting clearance to take off and had seen better days.
Now I’ve sorted out my space challenges, got a much smaller unit with new warranty AND got FIFA 18 and Destiny 2 all for £99.
THANK YOU!!
And thanks to those who helped by saying what you had to bring etc. - much appreciated!!
Matt
I didn't get a now TV code though, bit disappointed there
£148 for PS4 Pro!! Followed some other users on here and as soon as I'd bought it, I flogged FIFA 18 to someone in the queue for £45. Also had some credit on my reward card and got rid of SW Battlefront for a coupel of quid, so all in all - really happy. Thanks again!!
But then someone told me, why don't you just uninstall games you do not play as much , as your saves don't get wiped.
In that case , now storage isn't an issue, is there any other reason to upgrade to a 1tb slim?
Sarcasm btw
Fair point on the trade in value. 25% reduction was seen in the black Friday deal last year so yes it is possible and gives an idea of what it will cost now Vs black Friday.
Negative - I prefer the look of my launch console compared to this. No optical connection.
They kindly called another local store, who had plenty of stock and said it'd take an hour, and they were right.
They only asked for one form of ID.
Bear in mind the full reset process takes over an hour - I did this at home. Game said they only do a quick reset, which doesn't sound very thorough to me.
Also, you can copy your saves to a USB, and back onto the new console. That also takes a while if you have loads of Minecraft saves like my little one has!
Overheard them say it doesn't matter whether the trade-in is A, B, or C grade. They all equal £150 value on their system. Mine had one scratch but they didn't mind.
The game is a physical copy inside the console box, and says "not for resale" on the cover.
decisions decisions..
Or can you sign up instore when doing this?
Any advice is much appreciaited.
Is the Overwatch / Destiny 2 deal nationwide or store specific? Might be tempted to throw in Overwatch if so!
Went back up with the cable I had, which was in fact the genuine one that came with the console, once I proved this to them they all of a sudden couldn't test it today cause they shut in 40 mins and had "4 consoles currently being tested". The shop was empty by the way. The manager was a dick once again as be was earlier, no doubt because I knew more about his companies offers and policies than he did so I took their name and am complaining to head office . I've never seen such a bunch of incompetent, misinformed, arrogant, rude and unprofessional retail staff in my life!
Was Southend what a waste of time they didn't know the deal was on then they told me to leave the console for checking only to tell me 2 hours later the usb ports were not working which of course they were so that was a waste of time, basildon tested it but had it for over 2 hours and said it was fine but all in all 4 hours of hanging around for this deal.
Took all leads including charging cable all orginal.Pads thumbstick had slight wear.Console was rated c category.Was told it would take an hour for testing.Went back in hours time and new console was ready to go.No issues.Signed up for reward card in store.Got an impression when i first went in they werent going to entertain it but im overjoyed.Sold fifa for 45.My brother is going to try tomorrow.
"Yes, we've had hands-on time with the PS4 Slim..... It's cooler, quieter and more power-efficient"
how did you get on with your controllers & leads
Were the leads official - if not any issues?
Did the controller have any damage to the joystick. Again if so any issues, what was the resolution?
but said we can take the one from the new Playstation box nd keep your original controller. So that's what I done.
What condition was ya ps4 in?
Mine was fully boxed with everything you would expect including original usb cable, power adapter, hdmi cable and controller with serial number showing. Although I dont think they were too bothered.
Also traded in fifa 15 albeit for 30p. Far cry4, assassins creed syndicate and the last of us.
In total paid £176 for the ps4 pro.
This is what I mean by brushed.
Returned to be told they couldn't accept it because the R1 button on the pad was loose, when they say loose it's something I've not noticed because I've used it so much but fair enough, what's the option? 'we can't take it mate sorry'
OK fine, annoying but fine. The lad shows me the box I give it a glance and think fine I'll just order the game off amazon and continue to use my "loose" R1 button.
Get home and realise they've, for some bizarre reason, taken the headset out and not put it back. It's tiny, I missed it in the bag of wires in the shop. It's not worth the time, petrol, parking or effort to go back but I'll never go back to Game again, the dismissive gobshites, no wonder the high street is dying.
Trading in my Old PS4 1TB which should knock the price down to £179.99
Trading in the Below for Store Credit:
Playstation TV - £20
Xbox 360 E 500gb - £41
PS3 Slim - 320GB - £45
Been advised I can use the Store Credit from the other products to further off-set the cost of the Pro so in theory it should only cost me £73.99.
Might look around to see if I have any old PS3 games laying around and trade those in too.
Can anyone confirm if the bundled copy of Fifa is Physical or Digital as I might even trade that back in too to get more money off.?
There are also two offers available in store when you're buying a console, Destiny 2 for £20 and a new ps4 controller for £30. Not ideal i guess but if people are having to keep their original controllers and really want the updated version, it's an option i suppose!
Has anyone who done this deal struggling to gets gta5 working. Not sure if common fault as there are a a lot of people o YouTube struggling to Get gta5 to install. Don't know whether it's the new console. Tried all the fixes on YouTube cleaning disc etc. Just fails to install. Worth trying a different disc. Anyone in Manchester got gta5 and I could possibly try it lol.
My console had a few light scratches and the barcode on the back of the controller rubbed off. That was no issue though.
They didn't really seem to know much about the deals available. He said they weren't including the Pro version as an option but I could buy it for £350. So I showed them their website and he put it through. I also had to wait two hours (I went at 1pm) so try to go as early as possible to try and avoid this.
Just to be c
