American Xbox One adopters can take advantage of a pretty fair deal at their participating GameStop stores; for a limited time, you'll be able to trade in Xbox 360 versions of certain games and get an upgrade to the corresponding Xbox One edition for less than $10.
Members of GameStop's PowerUp Rewards programs can make use of a limited time $50 guaranteed minimum credit for five standard edition Xbox 360 games when they are traded-in for a new copy of the Xbox One version of the same title.
"This is an amazing opportunity for our PowerUp (PUR) members to enjoy their favorite Xbox 360 game until the Xbox One version becomes available," said senior vice president of merchandising at GameStop, Bob Puzon in a statement.
"This offer gives PUR members the chance to upgrade their current Xbox 360 game for the new Xbox One standard version of that game for $9.99. This is a great example of how GameStop is helping gamers make the transition to the next generation of consoles economical and seamless."
- Call of Duty: Ghosts
- Madden NFL 25
- FIFA 14
- Battlefield 4
- Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag
Buyer beware: there are certain caveats to the deal. Eligible customers must be PowerUp Rewards members when they buy one of the participating Xbox 360 titles within 30 days of the game's initial release, at which time they'll receive a $50 trade-in coupon via email. This game must then be traded-in at any American GameStop store for the standard Xbox One version of the same game. The offer will only be open until Dec. 31, 2013.
You could argue that it's a little pointless to get a game on one platform when you're planning on purchasing it on the next one up anyway, but it seems like a good idea for anyone who can't afford to or isn't able to get a console early, ensuring they don't miss out on any time with titles they're looking forward to playing.
Here's hoping the UK gets a similar kind of deal for those who won't be able to pick up the Xbox One on day one.
