Anyway don't love it enough to spend CAD 600 on, especially not at the end of the gen. This is the time it should be cheap to pick up 'the other console'. Considering I payed CAD 400 at launch for the ps4 this is just ridiculous. It's half the exchange rate, half the pro's fault. It is a nice looking console if I was still in my 20's :) The standard version is 540 here, plus 80 for the game, more expensive than the bundle with all 5. That's not end of gen pricing.

Here in Germany there is currently a trade-in option at GameStop:

My 4.5 years old Xbox One with 500 GB was pretty scratched up, the LB and RB buttons of its controller began to get unreliable and the external power adapter was humming after 10 minutes... I probably wouldn't have gotten more than €100 for it on eBay, especially after eBay costs + shipping costs.

So yesterday I traded it in at GameStop and got a new "Xbox One X 1 TB" for it (Shadow of the Tomb Raider code, 1 month GamePass and 14 days XBL Gold included). I had to pay €229.99 for the upgrade plus €5 for the scratches on the old XBO. I also had to trade in two used XBO games... which I bought a few minutes earlier in another store in the same mall for €9.99 and €14.99.

So in total I paid €250 for the upgrade to the Xbox One X and perhaps I can sell the included Shadow of the Tomb Raider code for €10 - €20 (already have that game on PC). Besides the performance difference the other advantages for me were a fresh warranty, a new controller (now the bluetooth model with headset connection), more space under my TV (smaller console + no power brick), a more silent console and another month to play Gears 5 (my previous subscriptiuon runs out tomorrow)
