EB Games have dropped their price. It’s the same as Amazon and slightly cheaper than JB Hi-Fi.

Also in stock at ebay via EB Games thanks RichardL

Other products either haven’t dropped in price (yet?) or aren’t as cheap as elsewhere.

Also some trade deals if you give them your PS4:
- pay $397 for PS4 Slim + 4 games
- pay $347 for PS4 Pro + 4 games

Don’t forget EB World Level Bonus and Plus 5% trade bonus

What can I trade? You will require console, controller, HDMI cable, power cable and USB charging cable.

    Why pay this low when you can pay much more with the pro and play the same games ?

    • +4

      with the same frame rate but with 'better' graphics

      also you have the pleasure of paying $160 more for a disc drive that comes standard with the Slim

    • The only reason im considering getting a ps5 pro is to play gta 6, on the assumption that it will play it better than the regular ps5. Time will tell though. Right now, i still dont see any games that entice me on the playstation unfortunately.

      • It's almost guaranteed to come out after the PS6.

        PS5Pro is a cash grab after a series of horrifyingly bad investments.

        • GTA 6 is scheduled for late next year, i doubt the ps6 will be out by then, as the ps5 is only 4 years old right now…

          Ive got a brand new fully specc'd gaming pc, however gta 6 doesnt look like it will be out on pc until late 2026 :(

    Considering you could buy a Slim for $239 just two months ago and now EB values it at $271 (before any bonus) seems like a good deal to me.

  • +2

    Also available from their eBay Store for the same price.

    To my knowledge, there's currently no valid eBay Code that works on it.

    • +2

      Had it in cart from this morning, and just received an email from eBay to use a targeted eBay Plus Spend & Save on Eligible items code for $50 off.

      Code doesn't show up under My eBay Summary -> Vouchers, but can confirm it works.

      • I did same and code came through after a few hours. Thanks for sharing ;)

      • Yeah a $50 code shows for me on that listing, "$618.00 with coupon"

  • +2

    Waiting for the Amazon prime sale or black friday.
    I got a hunch that it would get cheaper now even though it's not officially reduced. $500 would be great with coupons, gift cards and everything.

  • +2

    You can save an extra 7% / $47 with giftcards through Macquarie Marketplace = $621

      Better off with 10% off gift cards at Aldi, see below or OP

        @sween64 Thanks, for pointing that out - I didn't realise EB were on Ultimate cards!

        But there's a limit of 5 cards per customer at a max $100 value (if you're lucky to find them), so that would be $168 short of the total required.

        The trouble is they are rarely in stock when I go to the shops, and only in small denominations which is frustrating for a $600+ order.

        • Get tcn cards and convert to jbhifi codes online at the tcn website, you can use multiple codes on jbhifi website.

            @Spendmore: That is true, but I was actually referring to the buying part - there's a 5 card limit of purchasing from Aldi (the Aldi GC terms)

            Limit of 5 cards per customer.

              @OutOfTime: Ah sorry i thought you meant when redeeming at JB👍

  • Seems the trade-in is for PS5 (non-slim) version.

    • +1

      Slim is pictured in the trade deal and when you click on the banner on the front page it takes you to the Slim

  • I got a working PS4 pro lying around but got some minor scratches on top. Are they strict with the physical condition of the console for trade-in? What kind of games do they accept? I'm new to this trade -in. Thanks

    • +1

      Minor scratches? That will be fine. The bar for trade in is quite low. As long as console powers on, controller works, accessories that came with it like power supply cable is there, they will give you the full trade in value.

      No experience with games though

      • What do they do with all these ps4s?

        • I assume they sell them and make profit. Otherwise they wouldn't be offering this trade in deal

      • Hi. Do I need to factory reset to default setting before trade in ? Or they will reset it after the inspection? Thanks.

        • They should do it. From a security standpoint, I would recommend signing out of your devices as a minimum in case it gets missed. Then you'll be explaining to whichever console maker that you've been hacked and someone has been buying with your CC that's saved to your account.

          Just a disclaimer, I don't work for EB nor do I know the full process. I've just traded an OG switch and PS4 slim around 3 years ago during bonus trade in. I've signed out of my account and factory reset.

          From their end, they just need to function test to make sure it works. In my case, it powers on, all minimum accessories are there? Cool, here's your store credit.

          Hope that helps

          • +1

            @azngamer: Thanks so much for your comprehensive info 👍

    • +1

      According to the PS5 Pro deal it’s any games. I’m guessing any PS4 games will work (other than now F2P titles)

      • +3

        Can confirm they take any 4 games. Went to CeX and grabbed the cheapest 4, then went to EB.

        • Do you know if the games have to be PS4 or will they accept Xbox/Switch?

          Edit: They allow all games. See comments below

    • I traded my OG XBox One console, that didn't even read discs (kept ejecting them), they didn't bat an eyelid. Same with controllers, they don't check them, they just send back to their factory for refurbishing.

  • +3

    Why buy this when you could pay $5k for the 30th Anniversary Pro on eBay.

  • Dang it. Got a ps5 slim disc yesterday for 575 for ps4 pro trade in from jb hifi. No games but still would have been cheaper from eb

    • Wow. In hindsight, that was a terrible deal.

    You can stack it with 10% off Gift cards from Aldi

    After PlayStation State of Play 2024, if you are buying these PS5 still, you don't care about your money lmao

    • explain?

      • He means future releases looked pretty weak for PS.

  • should be abt $2 less. then we have a deal.

  • +1

    sween64 you’re killing it with these posts
    Keep it up mate :)

    Loving this ozbargain community
    I hope to see banger deals for video games come October-December 2024 particularly (and beyond)

    Personally hoping to see great deals for ps5 games for Ffvii rebirth, tekken8, demon souls and more for hopefully under 30 or 50 bucks

    • Aw thanks. I’m surprised the PS5 Pro deal received so many negs, fun to have a controversial post.

      • You were surprised??? 😮 but you have the internets …. The virtual pitchfork and torches have been out for weeks!!!

  • Hi guys i did a trade in and it didn't say Plus 5% trade bonus on the invoice.. it only says 25% as level 5 what can I do? unless its not updated to show Plus 5% trade bonus?? for ebgames plus , maybe some issue with someone else knows this more then me?

    • -1

      Hi. Do I need to do factory reset to default setting before trade in ? Or they will reset it after the inspection? Thanks.

    • How much did you have to pay? I wonder if they factored into membership bonus, I traded in today and paid about 336 (I'm level V + eb plus)

      • what does your invoice say? mine only says 25%

        • it says "EB world card 25%"

          • @dodofly: how do you know if you got + eb plus?

            • @Rukiata: I can see 2 bonus on the invoice after each trade in game so i assume it's applied…so how much did you end up paying for ps5 slim after trading in? Was trade in bonus applied?

            • @Rukiata: Staff do mistakes all the time. The 5% should be added to the invoice. If it is not then you got ripped off.

              • @Dienk: guess i was ripped off. whats the point in paying for plus lol

  • +2

    Why buy this when you can pay $6,969 for a PS6 pro plus 40th anniversary edition?

  • I asked in store about the original PS4 and they said that this deal didn't apply to them and had a trade in value of $50…!

  • +1

    do they just not make any more midnight black covers? i swear its very rare to come across those locally now.

  • +1

    Thanks op for highlighting the trade in deals, they take any four games, so I scraped the bottom of the barrel at CeX, then went to EB. Cashier knew exactly what I did and said they use the same strat. Stacked with 15% discounted ultimate gift cards from many moons ago. Walked out with a new console, space marine 2 ($69 - special offer when buying console), system shock ($28) and vampire the masquerade swan song ($23) total of $480, effective out of pocket cost of $408. Not including $16 for cost of 4 PS4 games from CeX. Obviously would have been cheaper without the additional games but hey, I still think it's pretty good considering I got the PS4 for like $220 back in 2019/20. Shoutout for making my week.

    • Did you trade-in the console only without the controller?

      • +1

        Nah traded it in with a controller

  • Does anyone know when the trade in deal ends? I have an SSD in my pro, not sure I can be bothered putting the original one back in. Do they even check for that or just power it on?

    • If the SSD is just the same size as the hard it probably won't matter, it took me like an hour to switch the drive on mine (including reinstalling the console os). I had a 2tb sata ssd in mine though, so it was worth going to the effort to switch it to a generic 500gb 5400rpm hdd that I had lying around. The og PS4 hdd ended up in a budget pc build for a family member. Not sure when the deal ends though sorry.

      • Thanks. Looks like I’ll have to put the old one in, I think my SSD is only 512gb (original HDD was 1TB).

  • +3

    Thanks for posting this deal. Took my PS4 Slim & purchased 4 games from EB for $14 (got a $2 one!) and this stacked with the Level 3 trade bonus, so with the addition of my dual shock I paid $340 for the PS5. Bargain.

    • Do you mean you only need the console and cables for the trade-in? the dual shock will have additional trade-in value?

      • +1

        @preasm14 The PS4 Slim trade-in package consists of console, controller, power cable, HDMI cable and charging cable. I think the dual-shock is an extra controller.

      • +1

        Yes it was an additional dual shock :)

    • Dang I should have thought of that. Only managed to trade-in 2 games that I no longer wanted. Amazing trade-in values though.

    • what model ps5?

  • Covers for 70… Honestly a rort

  • Can anyone confirm if the slim covers can be used on the PS5 pro?

    • Tech Radar were reporting that they do. Nothing from Sony yet.

  • Does anyone know if the traded in cables have to be the original ones from the PS4? For example I have a non-original white micro usb cable to charge the controller with

  • +1

    Paid $300 for mine. Extra controller and a couple extra games knocked off $47. I used a $500 ultimate gc I had from a while back which I got for 15% off, saving $75. I consider that saving towards the PS5 so in my mind I only paid $225 for it lol.

  • +1

    Thanks OP.

    Traded a PS4 pro, 5 ps4 games, 2 Xbox1 games.
    Got the Slim disc version for $320 after using $10 bday voucher.

    They didn't even test the console and the controller. I was just asked whether they are all working and no bugs inside the console.

    Hope for a PS5 JB soon.

  • What's the software version you guys got? I haven't opened mine as it's a b'day gift to my son.

    • Good Dad, Lucky Son 👍

  • Any 4 games? Or eligible only?

    • Depends on the store but should be any 4 games.

  • +1

    Got one for $356.35..traded in PS4 Slim inc controller + 4 games. Got a little extra discount coz someone has the same name as me…yay

  • This expires tomorrow and I don't need a PS5 still, but this deal seems hard to pass up.

    Surely we're not going to get a better deal than this anytime soon, given you can find PS4 slims for $100 easily on FB Marketplace (personally got one for $50 with no controller recently).

    For the PS4 Slim trade-in, EB are paying:
    Level 1: $271
    Level 4 ($271*1.2) = $325

    If buying 7% discounted gift cards from MQG then as a L4 it's $319 + PS4 Slim

  • stores closed now. i got it for $251 being a level 5. traded in ps4 pro, better value.
    But I want the ps5 pro.

    • I am in SA but the sore is quoting the previous promotion of $347.
      Any ideas?

      • probably gone now its the 10th. its meant to end today. or they an't adding your level

  • Just called two different stores in South Australia, I was told that the ps4 pro trade-in promotion of $283 is wrong and that it actually is $347.

    Any ideas?

    • $283 was for Lvl4 member.
      I have no idea why they use that number for promotion though as I dont think many people would be Lvl 4.
