EB Games are doing their 2x eligible game trade in to purchase Horizon Forbidden West standard PS5 edition for $49 ($39 for PS4 version).

The upgrade to the PS5 edition is free see https://www.theverge.com/2021/9/4/22657679/sony-horizon-forb…

Not the best deal but if you have some older games picking it up for $39 seems pretty good to me. As this is a trade-in deal it is only available instore.

This is one of my first ever posts so I hope it's ok to put trade-in deals from EB.

Eligible trade list (sorry this is actually from early last year) - https://imgur.com/gallery/GiCyM3M (thanks to Puglife https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/603387)

EDIT: Does anyone know why it's not showing a picture on the thumbnail? Does it not work for EB games or something? I put the URL as the exact link to the game.

        Surprised a list from a year ago was still helpful but go Pug if it was!

      • kazuyamishima on 14/01/2022 - 07:05

        Very inaccurate list. Plenty of the games on that are not eligible anymore.

        • Valefortia on 14/01/2022 - 15:42

          Yea sorry, didn't realize it was so old. For some reason i thought it was early this year. Either way it still worked for the two i traded in but yea it'll be super inaccurate now.

    Getting the $88 PS5 disc version from Amazon. Really looking forward to this game!

    • Valefortia on 14/01/2022 - 03:43

      Yea I just missed that one but I'm also worried I wouldn't get it day 1. Knowing others are playing this and having to wait would kill me. I am very much looking forward to it though, haven't been this excited for a game launch since…. maybe Breath of the Wild?

  • jackthefrost on 14/01/2022 - 07:43

    is it worth it to pay extra for the special edition?

    • bataleon on 14/01/2022 - 08:39

      I don't reckon so. You get a couple of extra clothing items and a small art book if I remember correctly.

    • solidussnake on 14/01/2022 - 09:01

      You get a physical art book/Steel case and Digital soundtrack that you will probably glance over for 5 minutes never to be seen again and one extra skin

      No from me, unless it was that big $300 collectors one I missed out on.. scalpers got most of them :(

    • virtualds on 14/01/2022 - 10:31

      get it before it's gone. In the USA, it's almost sold out everywhere.
      I bought Regalla edition from US as I missed out here which would cost me extra $200 AUD. :-(

      • solidussnake on 14/01/2022 - 12:15

        The PlayStation US store still had it listed for $199 USD would they ship to aus ?

      • Sutra on 14/01/2022 - 21:27

        How did you buy it? I missed it too

  • tacos4brekkie on 14/01/2022 - 09:13

    Does anyone know if you can trade in to get the reduced price AFTER you've paid for the initial pre-order?

    I paid $10 about a month ago for the standard edition so I would have to pay $114.95 at launch when I pick it up… Was wondering if I could still trade in to reduce the cost even more.

    • Brut3 on 14/01/2022 - 09:36

      Yep, I've done this before. The promotion always ends a few days after the actual release, so head into store with your trade in's and you'll just pay the difference remaining.

      • tacos4brekkie on 14/01/2022 - 10:02

        Cheeers mate. Appreciate it.

    Thanks for sharing OP. bought a PS5 for this. $39's on the high end but can't wait to play it.

    • softwhite on 14/01/2022 - 16:03

      How is $39 on the high end?

  • proudwanderer on 14/01/2022 - 10:12

    I remember with previous trade 2 for preorder deals, the trick was to go to EB's site and search for the games you want to trade and check their "pre-owned" price. If it is more than $25 then that means the game is eligible to trade.

    Does this trick still apply?

    • Hunter9960 on 14/01/2022 - 11:20

      I've found if they sell it for more then $30 its eligible

    • Dienk on 14/01/2022 - 11:27
      +1

      Pretty much that. I would say around 28 mark

  • Switchblade88 on 14/01/2022 - 12:22

    Will this deal still be valid up to release date? My old games are packed for moving; I hope I can dig them out in the next 3 weeks…

    • xcess on 14/01/2022 - 14:02

      yeah usually lasts until 1 week after game launch

  • Korosiv on 14/01/2022 - 13:54

    JB are currently running a 2 for $30 special for certain PS4 games right now.

    Generally speaking, any pre-owned games that EB sells for $28+ should qualify but it helps if the stores are next to each other so you can ask them person.

    For reference, I used 'The Occupation' and 'Walking Dead: Final Season'.

  • jaimex2 on 14/01/2022 - 20:08

    I've learned to never pre-order games.

    Just wait and see if its any good then grab it from whatever launch deal is around.

    • John on 17/02/2022 - 10:53

      Yeah did that with Cyberpunk (my first ever preorder too). What a dissapointment.

  • dreamstation on 15/01/2022 - 09:37

    What games are you all using?

    • Vinodra on 17/01/2022 - 17:32

      I used Yakuza Like a Dragon (Xbox Series X) and Lego Harry Potter Collection (PS4) (from the 2 for 30 at JB)

  • App13533d on 17/01/2022 - 23:13

    Here is a more recent list of eligible games, valid to 14/11/2021- https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/30868/91930/trade_2_se…

    I used this list to trade in a few games for Guardians of the Galaxy from EB late last year.

    • App13533d on 18/02/2022 - 11:10

      FYI I pruned a few more games out of my collection that didn't appear in the list above to trade in when I collected HFW this morning, but turns out they are on the current list, so I ended up bringing them back home & marking them for a future EB deal like this.

      They included Mechwarrior on PS5, and on Xbox One:
      A Plague Tale: Innocence
      Greedfall (Launch Edition, no expansion)
      Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
      And even Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

      The clerk did caution that there's no guarantee that these would qualify for future deals, but if you have a few games that you can part with that didn't appear on the list above, it might be worth your time to check in with your local EB to ask if they are on the current list.

    Anyone done any trade ins this week that they can recommend?

  • Kosmo-Kramer on 16/02/2022 - 23:41

    Can it be any 2 games on list to get Horizon for 49$/39$

    • nobro25 on 20/02/2022 - 14:43

      Depends on the store. The one at Mac Ryde they only accept games that's worth more than $10 regardless of the list.

  • StarForge on 17/02/2022 - 21:55

    Thanks OP, I traded in 2 games to get it to $39 and then Star Wars Rogue Squadron for $9.90 bring it down to $29.10 for the PS4 version.

    The best part of this? All the games I bought ended up on PS Plus so I'm just without the physical games. Win win!

  • Rojohe on 18/02/2022 - 17:13

    Horizon has gone up to $59/$49 PS5/PS4 with 2 trade-ins.

    They accepted from me - Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Dying Light

    I also took a few others in in case they didn't accept them and they would have accepted the following as well.

    The Witcher 3 - $15
    Ghost of Tsushima - $26
    Doom Eternal - $18

    I'll use The Witcher and Doom for GT7 and get a further $26 with GoT

  • wekimekigugudan on 20/02/2022 - 18:13

    will there be a similar deal with Kirby?
