The PS4 is soon going to receive a couple of massively anticipated exclusives: The Order: 1886 and Bloodborne, in a rather powerful one-two, and GameStop is jumping on the bandwagon with a new offer, promising $125 trade-in value for old PS3 or an Xbox 360 consoles, to be granted to anyone who wants to buy a PS4, as announced in a press release.

The Sony PlayStation 4 has been available for just over a year, and gamers everywhere have fallen in love with its wide range of games, spectacular visuals, and social features. The console continues to evolve and the future is looking bright as major releases such as The Order 1886 and Bloodborne are crossing over the horizon for release.

Now is the time to jump on board the PS4, not just for the upcoming games, but also because GameStop is offering a great deal.

Customers that trade in a PS3(120GB or greater) or an Xbox 360(250GB or greater) toward the purchase of a new PS4 will receive $125 in credit toward their purchase. But hurry, this offer ends on March 1!

While I’m philosophically against trading in my older consoles (I love to keep them nice and shiny, what can I say), it’s doubtless that the offer is definitely interesting for those looking into making the jump to the new generation.

Will The Order: 1886 and Bloodborne push Sony’s console to even greater success? We’ll have to wait and see, but they most probably won’t hurt.

Oh when Microsoft offers the deal is desperation when its So y everyone is cool.

Awesome deal though

Agreed!

Well, the headline does say Gamestop is offering the deal, not Sony.

BestBuy currently has a better deal at $150 for your trade. Must be a PS3 slim or a 250g 360. Also an additional $10 per controller

People trade in their old consoles? POR QUE?!

microsoft absolutely was and still is desperate to sell the bone, sony is in no way desperate, and you know that.

There is a difference when a 3rd party offers a deal. This isn't happening in Sony stores, isn't something Sony is promoting, and it isn't something widespread which would suggest Sony is not footing the bill. Surely the distinction can be seen. 

Here is a Xbox One example:
$349 with two games is widespread.
Madden free only at target was a retail specific deal to generate business for their stores.  

I wouldn't really go for that kind of deal tbh, not when there's no backwards compat on the PS4 and if I was mostly digital on a last gen system I wouldn't want to throw that away. (inb4 backups argument, not everyone wants that).

I should check dual shockers articles more often though, the wording with most of what was written screams someone who's already made their mind up and will make harsh judgement to a certain other side when it comes to writing about their deals/news.
