If you want to jump ship from Xbox to PlayStation you're in luck, this offer will let you trade your used Series X for a shiny new PS5.

While Xbox has been slowly catching up to PlayStation in terms of exclusives, mainly with the upcoming release of Starfield, the PS5 still dominates with series like God Of War, The Last Of Us and Marvel’s Spider-Man to name a few.

Check out the trailer for the biggest PlayStation exclusive of the year, Marvel's Spider-Man 2.

That being said I’m sure there are many loyal Xbox fans who stuck with the Series X and regret their purchases. That’s not to say the Series X is a bad console, because it’s not, it just might not have the same pull the PlayStation 5 has in terms of its game library.

Luckily, if you’re living in the US you can trade your Xbox into Gamestop, where you’ll receive a hefty amount of cash as well as a $50 bonus for certain customers, just short of enough to buy the PS5.

Reddit user Meteorboy conveniently shared the news as well as the math on how you can easily switch consoles, provided you’re a Gamestop Pro member. Meteroboy said: Right now, GameStop (US only) is running a promotion where Pro members get a bonus of $50 when trading in certain consoles like the Series X … The current trade value for a Series X in good condition is $385, so with the bonus, that's $435; a brand-new PS5 is currently $450. You're only paying $15 out of pocket!”

Customers can also trade in their Xbox One S for $138.0 0 (bonus included) and Xbox Series S: $242.50 (bonus included), which isn’t enough for the PS5 but not a bad price overall.

If you’re looking to jump ship for upcoming PlayStation exclusives like Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Silent Hill 2 remake and more, this deal is definitely worth considering if you live in the US.
