Just saw this on Facebook/twitter but no mention yet on the EB website itself, hence just the image.
Good deal if you have a couple of games lying around that aren't worth selling but could still be eligible.
EB pre-order bonus is an iconic Zelda-universe item, a uh…. luggage tag.
They do but it's pretty crappy.
Trade in a switch OLED plus 2 games AND an extra $249 to get just the Zelda-themed Switch OLED (no game included).
those trade in deal sucks. i will buy zelda oled outright.and hack my current OG switch.
Yes, they've raised the trade in requirements though. You can get the LoZ ToTK edition $549
OLED Switch + 2 games - $249
OG Switch + 2 games - $349
Not sure if you get more for the EB games membership, last time they took out the extra % trade in bonus for me (level 4) when I traded my switch for the white OLED.
Happy to be corrected
yes you do. eb world on top of that
Sorry, what is the pricing you've noted for the two switch versions? OG is more than OLED?
That's the changeover cost if trading in that version on the Zelda version
So…they basically give you $15 trade in each for the games that they can resell for $50+
Just buy it new price matched for $69 as usual and sell the two games yourself - switch games hold value really well.
They retail for $89.95 in EB, so it's $25 per game from other consoles as well. Switch games yes hold value well, but other consoles? It sort of depends.
It's actually a great way to get paid more for a game, i.e. a game worth $12 ($maybe 20 if sold through market) gets bumped up. Plus EB world, which most should be atleast lvl 3 by now. So $57.50 for two games which would otherwise trade in for $24 is a fair deal for me.
I'd be keen to see which $12 games they'd accept under this, noting they say "SELECTED" games?
That is the selection, any games that trade for $10 or more.
Any games that trade below that is not part of the selection.
It says it works with PS5 and XBOX games though. I have hundreds of those trash items I could vendor.
No PS4 and XBOX1 Games…
Well technically xbox series X and One games are the same. They optimise it to Series X, but it plays in One just fine.
Or have they started doing the separation like PS has?
According to the ad no more PS4/xb1
Yup. But what I am saying is there is no distinction between a Series X and a non-Series X game. It is Series x optimised.
So maybe anything that has a series X optimised on the cover is what they meant.
This is not a bargain.
OP JB-Hifi is offering the game free for the same 2 switch game trade
I can’t find out what games they accept for trade in for this , do you have the list or link, cheers
Not sure what the list looks like this time, but the last time they offered this, there was about 15 games, and were all tier A titles, i.e. games that can still sell for $40-50 on marketplace, released less than 6 months prior.
Thanks for the info
Yeah, two $45-50 games for it lol
They only offer me $5.50 for watchdogs legion on PS5

Will they have a boosted console exchange to go along with the Zelda launch, would be good to exchange for an Oled model
