Forums - Gaming - Gamestop Advertising a Layaway Program for the Xbox One, PS4 Doesn’t Have One

Somini on 10 February 2014

Gamestop is advertising a very interesting promotion. They’re advertising a layaway program for the Xbox One, but not the PlayStation 4. The Xbox One’s $500 price tag just might be enough to justify such a promotion, seeing as Gamestop probably drew a fine line between $400 and $500, on what could be considered affordable for a game console in one lump payment.

Put an Xbox One on Layaway at GameStop today and put your trades, cash, or credit toward your deposit! http://ht.ly/tmlHQ

 

GS might be considering the One’s $500 price tag just a little out of reach for most consumers. Either that (or added to that), Gamestop is probably wanting to push more Xbox units out the door, considering the demand for the console being slightly less than the PlayStation 4, and to also empty up Xbox One inventory laying around.

@EmceeSchw3pp3 The Layaway program applies only to Xbox One systems.

Ok, we call that Layby in Australia and most stores do it anyway especially the big stores like Target and Kmart. Not sure about EB Games (Gamestop).

2,000 trade-ins later, i'll finally have an Xbox One half paid off.

Layaway is really only there for them to hold the product until you can make payments to pay it off. There will be plenty of Xbox Ones available after you finally get $500 trade in credit and cash to purchase one at Gamestop since no one wants one.

8th generation is going to really take off once these consoles are priced better.

They should do that $99* deal with the X1.

$99 or maybe $199 upfront and small monthly payments there after for a few years.

But that would make it a loan. I'm not sure if Gamestop wants to give you a loan if there are no guarantees that you'll pay it all back.

Most major retailers already do this.

They were doing that before with the 360.

I think the contract is with MS anyhow.
