Best Buy has a new deal running from Sunday, April 27 through Saturday, May 3. If you trade in a working PlayStation 3 or an Xbox 360, you will receive a $50 gift card, and a $50 coupon to use towards the purchase of an Xbox One.

In order for a trade-in console to be considered “working,” it must power on, still have the warranty seals in place, and not show any signs of major damage, including noticeable cracks. Other than that, if it works, you’ll receive $100 in credit and through a coupon that can be spent towards an Xbox One. You can always trade in the system and use the $50 gift card however you like, but the $50 coupon is specifically for the purchase of an Xbox One.

According to Best Buy, the deal is not available in all locations, so you may want to check with your local store before bringing your system in to trade. There is also a limit of one per customer, and this deal is not compatible with other deals.

The offer is similar to one that Microsoft hosted earlier in the year, where it also encouraged you to trade-in your PS3 or Xbox 360 at a local Microsoft store to receive $100 towards the purchase of an Xbox One, which currently sells for $499. Worldwide, Microsoft’s new system has shipped over 5 million units so far.

Best Xbox One deals: How to buy the discontinued console
Xbox One S bundle deals

The Xbox One has been officially discontinued, but that doesn't mean it's unattainable. If you prefer the console over the new Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, you can still buy refurbished units from retailers like Amazon. With its expansive library of games that will keep both casual and hardcore players busy for a long time, the Xbox One remains a meaningful purchase, despite Microsoft's rollout of its new generation of consoles. While it struggled against Sony's PlayStation 4 due to a rocky launch in 2013 because of a limited selection of titles and a higher price tag, the Xbox One gracefully recovered. Helping it bounce back were console exclusives from the Halo, Forza, and Gears of War series. If you're planning to buy the Xbox One to enjoy video game deals on these exclusive titles, as well as popular cross-platform games like Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Cyberpunk 2077, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, and Red Dead Redemption 2, we've gathered the best Xbox One deals available online to help you in your search.

Another important characteristic of the Xbox One is its fantastic multimedia capabilities, with the Xbox One S being one of the most affordable 4K media players available on the market. The Xbox One S and the more powerful Xbox One X both boast a 4K Blu-ray player, a feature that isn't found in the PlayStation 4 Pro. For gamers who also want the option to watch their favorite movies and TV shows in crisp 4K from their console, the Xbox One is the machine for you.
