PS4+any two games+€150 = PS Pro

murphyebass · 01-06-2018 8:22am #1

I was surprised at this offer in GameStop tbh.

My PS4 was sounding like a jet engine, very hot no matter what the ventilation, wasn’t taking discs that well if at all sometimes and had a 500gb hd.

To be honest I’m surprised it didn’t die on me in the last 6 months or so.

Anyway as the title suggest trade in your original PS4, any two games (like two copies of FIFA 15 which you can get in cex for a euro each) and €150 and GameStop will give you a brand new 1tb ps pro.

Won’t be for everyone but suits me.

Requires giving money to gamestop though.

Very true but it’s a good deal all the same.

djan · 01-06-2018 8:36am

Can you post a link? On the site I can only see a deal for PS4 not the Pro?

Fuzzy Logic · 01-06-2018 9:12am

I got the deal last week. The offer had been displayed on the GameStop website its for the 1TB PS4 Pro. There’s a €199 deal for the white version with Destiny 2

Kenny Logins · 01-06-2018 9:19am

Seems like a good deal. How do you transfer data from one PS4 to a new one?

the whole year inn · 01-06-2018 9:25am

Do they test the PS4 , my HDMI port is acting up.

They do

superflyninja · 01-06-2018 9:46am

Is it a new pro you get? Or a recycled one?

You can back up the data to PSN (cloud) and download it onto the new one or do as I did and copy it to an external HDD and transfer it back onto the new PS4.
I availed of this trade in offer the last time they ran it. Be aware that you'll need to bring along the controller and power lead also.

There’s the black version 1tb I got for €150 or if you want the white destiny bundle you pay €190 or €199 I think it was. I already own destiny so went with the black one at €150.

I backed my games to the cloud I think. In settings and upload or something.

They’re all downloading onto my hard drive again as we speak. Be nice to hold double the games than my 500gb

WellyJ · 01-06-2018 1:34pm

Is it genuinely any games at all? I have a couple of old FIFAs, this would be fine?

Console, controller, power cable, and those 2 games?

Atomic Pineapple · 01-06-2018 3:14pm

The two games need to scan at their till to be acceptable.

Lord Nikon · 01-06-2018 3:38pm

Do you have to give the controller, or could you get away with not giving it?

Controller is a must (and charging cable). They charged me a 2 euro ''refurbish fee'' cause the buttons were worn on my controller whilst doing a console trade swap promo last year.

Can someone please post a link to this? Can't find it on their site at all and wondering what the T&Cs are

There's a banner on their site, it's about the 5th or 6th option when scrolling across

This is how I found it. I actually went on looking for something else and saw it. I assume you’d need two newish games but nope any two will do.

Stiro05 · 01-06-2018 8:40pm

I've just ordered the days of play limited edition which costs E69.99 when you trade in an old PS4. It's not bad considering the PS4 I'm trading in is 4 years old I think and is getting a little loud. I was going to buy a new controller which are E50 on their and this comes with 2 so to me it's good value

I considered it myself but fancied a bigger hard drive and a bit more power for frame rate ****e.

Lovely looking console though.

GhostyMcGhost · 02-06-2018 12:41pm

Is this definitely a new console? See only 2nd hand ones in stock in the whole country

Would love to know how long this runs for. Not in a position to move on this for another week or 2

Thanks Op, picked this deal up in Stephens green after a bit of phoning around to find stock

.G. · 02-06-2018 3:21pm

Anyone who's availed of it care to list what games you used as trade in? Looking to get two old ones for little or nothing that I can use.

Would really appreciate anyone heading in, to ask how long the promo is going on for

Thanks

Got this deal today.

Had to return home to get a HDMI cable and micro USB or else there was a 15 euro added fee.

Also would only accept games that had trade in value of at least a tenner. So wouldnt take old FIFAs or Maddens. Not sure if people are telling porkies in here or if this was some new restriction on the deal. Or of course, incompetence from staff members who took those games from others.

Anyway, still delighted as was a launch PS4 that has seen better days and have both the games through PS plus that I traded in.

Thanks for the bargain alert OP!

.G. · 03-06-2018 4:51pm

The banner on their website say "any" two PS4 games so I'd be pointing that out.

The shop on Liffey Street told me ANY two games so bought two FIFA 15’s in cex for a euro each.

But then I left them in work. Doh.

I was going to wait till the next day and get my copies of FIFA from work but I ended up going to GameStop in blanch that evening and using The Order and Killzone as they were collecting dust in the attic anyway.

I’ll keep the fifas for spare boxes and frisbees. Lol.

In somewhat related news The Order looks great but **** me I absolutely HATE quick time events. I gave up after about an hour of dogs jumping at me and missing the necessary qte. I know I’m **** but seriously why did any developer ever think these qte things were a good idea. They add nothing!! /rant

doctorg · 03-06-2018 10:47pm

What firmware are the PS4 Pros on ?

Dammer · 04-06-2018 5:35pm

Went to a local GameStop to see if they had any stock in store.

They did not have any PS4 Pros in stock but the manager did offer to do the swap with a God of War PS4 Pro for €190 instead (Not sure if they were in stock).

Manager there said this deal is going on till the 19th. So plenty of time...

BrendanD · 04-06-2018 5:37pm

Just on this went to the parkway in limerick with Fifa 16 and it was not accepted had to buy a game min value 9 euro inshore to get the deal done.

Midnight Sundance · 04-06-2018 7:46pm

We traded in PS4 today . They wouldn’t accept any of the fifa games so had to go to Cex and get a couple of 10e games. These were accepted. Offer is on until the 19th.

murphyebass · 05-06-2018 7:49am

Where’s the t’s and c’s that says over a tenner game. It seems like individual stores making up rules.

Actually where’s the t’s & c’s for this in general. I couldn’t find them. There’s an asterix on advert on site but when you click on the add it just gives ps pro specs.

Did anyone manage to trade in two Fifa’s For this deal out of curiosity?

davidom2513 · 05-06-2018 11:32am

They wouldn't accept Fifa 15 or 16 from me.

So I went to CEX and got PES 15 for €1.50. They accepted that. Along with an old copy of Batman Arkham Knight I owned.

Cheapest CEX games listed here:
https://ie.webuy.com/search?categoryIds=998&sortBy=sellprice&sortOrder=asc

Check with Gamestop before you buy any game from CEX to make sure its accepted.

superflyninja · 05-06-2018 12:15pm

I got mine on Saturday. There was no stock in Gamestop Clarehall, had two in Donaghmede (only 1 after I got mine).
I traded in Shadow Warrior (which I think we bought for a fiver) and Terraria.
Didn't realise the dual shock had recieved an update. Nice grippy buttons now.

Not for the Pro but for the days of play console, on the banner ad when you click it there's an asterix and beside it says :- Console Trade Deal: Select titles may be excluded based on their trade value - check store for details.

Exclamation Marc · 07-06-2018 9:28am

In Dundrum, the guy was happy for me to pick up two copies of Fifa 15 from their used games stock, buy them for €4 and use them as part of the deal.

Yeah that's what my friend was told.

It is any two games but the games must have a trade value, some older titles like fifa 15/16 etc are not on their trade system anymore so they can't accept if even if they wanted to.

bkrangle · 08-06-2018 10:16am

This offer seems to have disappeared from the website.

Does anyone know if it's still running?

Lord Nikon · 08-06-2018 10:51am

Funny how they would want a HDMI cable with the console traded in , as it doesn't come with a new PS4....

Yes it is still running until 19-June.

The problem is that the shops have no stock of PS4 Pros at the moment and they do not know when they will receive fresh stock.

Stiro05 · 09-06-2018 8:11am

I got my days of play PS4 yesterday , and they accepted call of duty modern warfare and just dance 2014 and FIFA 2017 . I recommend you check your local store because the guys on Facebook told me none apart from call of duty would be accepted. I know it's not a pro, but still a good deal in my opinion. Traded an old 4 year old PS4 with 1 controller and for e69.99 get a brand new slim version with 2 controllers

WellyJ · 09-06-2018 8:26am

Why did you trade 3 games in? And yeh that's better than good, it's an outrageous deal. Considering the price of a new dualshock on its own you're essentially getting a free upgrade to a brand new console.

PS4+any two games+€150 = PS Pro
