Sony offers $400 trade-in for PS5 consoles directly to customers

IGN reports Sony trade-in offer and speculates on motives

IGN's Cade Onder details the $400 trade-in offer and notes it is unusual for a platform holder to directly reach out to customers rather than use retailers. Reporting suggests Sony may be preparing for hardware shortages or seeking to acquire pre-owned stock for resale at lower prices than new PS5s ($600–$650) or PS5 Pro ($900).

“Although trade-in programs, particularly around the holiday season, aren't uncommon for retailers like GameStop, it isn't as normal to see platform holders reaching out directly to customers like this.”
