I reckon this is an amazing deal.

Make sure you select click and collect on the website when you preorder to get this offer.

Preorders commence online on 22nd September

Alternatively, you can get the Series S version for $299 when you trade in your Xbox One S but no one would want a stovetop.

EB world is eligible for this offer so if you are on level 4, that’s $420 off the console price itself

Note: Confirmation from EB Games rep If you place an online preorder for collection in store, you don't have to trade in until release day. Which means you can secure this deal and still use your Xbox One X until release day.

22/09/2020 8:14am: Update from EB Games Twitter Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S LAUNCH Shipment has now presold out. There will be a small shipment expected POST LAUNCH 2020. Current expected presell time of Midday AEST.

                    @TightTerry: Hmm, 100% told it applied to PS4 Pro trade-in so would get +20% bonus with Level 2. I was literally told to wait till 3rd Nov before trading it in.

                    They even said no controller is minus $45 and any missing cables is minus $5 each so definitely talking about console. Were they mistaken?

    I went to trade on Thursday and ran into similar problems. I would suggest the following:

    1. Keep the trade deals seperate. Insist on two transactions, the first for your console trade in, the second for games and accessories. Not by choice but the staff serving me (a very good staff) tried to save me time and put it all together in one transaction and this led to the initial problem that consoles do not get bonus trade value as part of the double bonus deal. Another problem here is it gets very confusing when you are trying to figure out the value of everything when it's all in one transaction.

    2. If possible be ready with some form of confirmation of the original deals and how much you will expect from the console trade plus ebworld bonus.

    3. If initially they do not offer you the right value be polite and respectful but do not give up so easily and know that you are correct in that the eb world bonus applies on top of the console trade ins (now confirmed by eb games head office as per the earlier post). The issue here is that each store and each staff member may have a different understanding of the deal (although I think this will become better as they process more and more of these deals). In my case it was the second day back for then after the lockdown so fair enough there was some confusion. The fact there were two deals going on added to the confusion.

    4. The final confirmation of your preorder deposit should be on the receipt you get after the trade. Ask them if some how you didn't get it

    No doubt you will all get very different experiences but i hope you all are able to get your trades done as expected. VIC is open now so should be a big weekend for trades.

    All the best

    • BargainGhost on 09/11/2020 - 23:30

      Hi, I was wondering about the trade in program. My plan is to trade in as much credit possible to get the new Xbox Series S or X potentially. If I trade in my Xbox One S 1TB with a level 4 membership how much will I get with $200 Xbox one s 1TB valuation? I also plan to trade in my Wii Console, would that be valid to trade in? After that I would also like to trade in a couple of Xbox One S games and Wii Games with the level 4 (40% bonus). Could you please explain to me clearly how this will work as I really have a hard time understanding fully how this will work. Items planning to be traded (Wii Console, Wii Games, Xbox One S 1TB, Xbox One Games). Also, can I use my mates eb world card for the bonus discount (lvl4)?

      • GerrardLFC on 10/11/2020 - 00:21

        My EB games would not allow me to use another person level 4 card so I had to use my level 2

  • bubber on 02/11/2020 - 11:17

    Well this is a crap storm. Traded in an original xbox one and got $150. Thought I should had got the extra 15% for level 3. But apparently not. According to customer service it's only if trading a one s for series s or one X for series X. Don't know what to do. Should I try calling again. Anyone have any thing I can refer them to?

    • MaximumEffort777 on 02/11/2020 - 14:39

      I believe the increased value of the XB1 is $150 before EB World bonus currently when traded towards a next gen console so the standard trade value would be less presumably. So maybe the console traded at about $130 and your lvl 3 was added to that.

      What does the receipt say?

      • bubber on 02/11/2020 - 15:58

        was $149.50 with 15% induced. I think they are putting everyone on this vip trade week deal, not realizing its worse value if only trading in the console.

  • getadealmate on 02/11/2020 - 14:33

    I've called their customer service and the person I talked to told me the bonus trade credit during the VIP week is only for games and accessories.

    so… the VIP trade week promotion email that I received says "EB World Level 1 bonus increased from 0% to 10%" but appararently this only applies to the games and accessories.

    • MaximumEffort777 on 02/11/2020 - 14:37

      It makes this clear in the email though….

      Make way for the next generation of gaming. For one week only, get double your EB World Trade Bonus on games and accessories when you trade your PS4 or Xbox One.

      Did your email not make note of that?

      • getadealmate on 02/11/2020 - 14:43

        yeah it says you get double the trade bonus(i.e. 200% of the general trade value) and the email also says EB World Level 1 bonus increased from 0% to 10% which is clearly separate ?

        and this is in their EB World T&C

        "'Bonus Trade Credit' means the percentage by which EB Games will increase the trade credit value for Members trading in Preowned games and consoles." so that 10% should be actually applied to consoles I guess ?

        • MaximumEffort777 on 02/11/2020 - 14:53

          That’s odd, my email states:

          NEXT-GEN VIP TRADE WEEK: EB Trade Policy applies. Double EB World Bonus applies to games and accessories only. EB World Level 1 bonus increased from 0% to 10%. Not to be combined with any other offers. Offer valid 3rd – 9th November 2020. See staff for details.

          No mention of consoles.

          • getadealmate on 02/11/2020 - 14:58

            @MaximumEffort777: yeah it says Double bonus applies to games and accessories only, and it also says "EB World Level 1 bonus increased from 0% to 10%" and what the level bonus covers is explained in their EB World T&C, which says this level bonus credit is for preowned games and consoles ?

            • getadealmate on 02/11/2020 - 22:16

              @getadealmate: For those who might be wondering about the same thing, I've confirmed the level bonus you are given during the VIP week doesn't apply towards any consoles you trade in. The only original trade bonus based on your current EB World level applies to consoles.

    • Nom on 03/11/2020 - 00:29

      Check the email you got on 20 September, subject "Xbox Series X | S Preorders Start Soon! Learn more here."

      It says
      "Including your EBWorld level 2 Bonus get the Xbox series X for only $364 when you trade your Xbox One X"
      And
      "Get the Xbox series s for only $279 when you trade your Xbox One s"

      • getadealmate on 03/11/2020 - 07:05

        Yea that makes sense. Im level one and I was only referring to the extra bonus level credit percentage you get during the VIP week.

  • ExtremeDavo on 03/11/2020 - 15:00

    Traded in my Xbox One X for $420 - that's better than I was going to get from selling to public - and I don't have to worry about idiots/timewasters or the console itself dying a month later.

    • boxall on 03/11/2020 - 16:18

      Great price! level 4?

      • theguyrules on 03/11/2020 - 16:23

        Would have to be - you get $403.5 for level 3.

      • ExtremeDavo on 03/11/2020 - 16:48
        +1

        Yeah. Base $350 + any eb world.

        To be fair they tried to trade it at PS4 value until I questioned them twice, so be careful out there!

  • dbglt on 03/11/2020 - 23:10

    Anyone happy to share their barcode for the trade-in to get the bonus?

    • ExtremeDavo on 04/11/2020 - 19:25

      Sure. Pm me

    • Jimmy6 on 04/11/2020 - 19:35

      I think he's found someone already. He offered to take mine before finding out it was a measly level 3 :s

    • Jimmy6 on 10/11/2020 - 16:04

      I've reached Level 4 now!
      PM me if you need a barcode for higher trade in values :)

  • boxall on 05/11/2020 - 08:50

    How bad are the game trade in deals these days even with double value? Talking ps3, 360. Ps4 and one games.

    • iBuzz7S on 05/11/2020 - 08:58

      I’m pretty sure they stopped taking 360/PS3 games earlier this year. You’d be better off looking at CEX for those, something like Facebook Marketplace or eBay/Gumtree.

      PS4 and XB1, even with double value I think the majority of games will not be as good as selling private.

      It’s a matter of convenience. Go into one place, put the games on the counter and find out what the trade price is, or try selling private, deal with numpties trying to lowball and waste your time.

  • jsediv on 06/11/2020 - 12:23

    Traded in my Xbox One X towards the Series X yesterday along with games.
    Did everything in the one transaction and received both promotions without asking.

    Also if you decide to keep your controller, they subtract $45 off the trade-in which is worth it, imo.

  • RickoWest on 07/11/2020 - 20:36

    Has anyone had success in trading in two consoles at the preorder bonus? Have a Xbox One X and Xbox S 2TB that I'm thinking of taking both in tomorrow, was going to sell the 2tb S privately, but with the added game bonus was just going to trade the lot in.. Also wondering if I can, could I credit back in cash my preorder $200 for the Xbox Series X and just use all my trade value? Otherwise selling the S 2tb privately makes more sense..

    • MaximumEffort777 on 07/11/2020 - 20:46
      +4

      Yeah I did. I posted this in the other thread…

      And in another turn of events the store manager said it was also fine to trade in as many consoles as you like towards your pre-order. She combed through the fine print and T&C's and said it says nothing about limits so go for it.

      It was an XB1S and PS4 Pro towards my PS5 pre-order. My trade-ins put me $180 over the PS5 amount so they refunded me.

      • RickoWest on 07/11/2020 - 22:17

        Awesome appreciate you confirming this jonesy, exactly what I'm after, I'll try my luck tomorrow and report back, any chance you have a picture of your receipt handy for backup? Will have a look at t&c's tonight

  • TightTerry on 09/11/2020 - 09:50

    Does anyone have the link or screenshot of the extra games trade in bonus they are doing this week?

  • bushywookiee on 09/11/2020 - 14:09

    For those trading this week, I would follow with the tip of being polite and respectful.

    Traded in the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X but the person in-store was told not to apply the bonus to the trade deal. After some talking, they agreed with me and the trade bonus 100% applies. Do not be fooled or lulled into thinking it doesn't.

    I also think two separate transactions is the way to go if you are trading games and accessories. I was very fussy about seeing the bonus deal code on the receipt and if you are trading a lot of games it will make a massive difference.

    Hope it all goes well for people.

  • TightTerry on 09/11/2020 - 16:06

    Traded in my XB1X and a few games today and didnt have any issues, was pain free, all discounts and bonuses applied correctly - great work from the staff. Paid the difference left for my console, got a fast pass for tomorrow all ready to pick up.

    • GerrardLFC on 09/11/2020 - 18:18

      Same as you and ready for tomorrow

  • Branchus on 09/11/2020 - 20:14

    traded in my xox for $385, I'm at level 2 and paid the balance

    so tomorrow just walk in and pick the new one up

  • iBuzz7S on 09/11/2020 - 20:58

    Level 3 member here. This includes the bonus trade offer for games and accessories.

    Put a pre-order on the new COD which I will cancel and move the store credit to my local where I have over $400. Might put it towards a PS5 and have the best of both worlds.

    • Nom on 09/11/2020 - 23:51

      This deal is only valid if you already have a next-gen pre-order, and they stopped taking those weeks ago.
      Sorry man ☹️

    • TightTerry on 10/11/2020 - 00:09

      The console trade in deal was only for pre-order, which unfortunately sold out weeks ago. The trade in double bonus for games finished today (the 9th)

      Edit - actually the console trade in price may still be available for future orders through to January I think I read earlier on this post? Think it was to give everyone a fair chance who missed out on the pre order that sold out so quick. Pretty sure the games + accessories double bonus did however end today.

      • BargainGhost on 10/11/2020 - 08:16

        Ah, so I can still get $200 for my Xbox one s 1TB or even more with membership?

        • TightTerry on 10/11/2020 - 08:33

          I think so yes. Maybe call through or contact them over social media. Think they extended it through to Jan
