With both next-gen consoles officially here, would-be customers are scrounging the internet to find the best PS4 trade in for PS5 deals (or the Xbox equivalent) to switch out their old systems for a brand new one. But, given that stock is limited at best and 2020 is, well... 2020, those kind of offers ar💙e hard to come by right nowꦺ, to say the least. 

Luckily, those making the switch from one generation to the next have a number of options available beyond PS4 trade in for PS5 deals when it comes to finding a new home for the consoles currently sitting beneath our screens. All of them are fairly viable, too, either making you some money, making someone's day, or saving the plan🦄et from one more piece of electronic waste. Read below for all the advice you need on what to do with your PS4 or Xbox One, and how you can go about doing it. 

Recycle

If we want the games industry to survive another few more console cycles, then we need to do more to maintain a healthier and happier planet. Both the PS4 and Xbox One systems are embarrassingly energy inefficient, for example, so the least we can do to make up for that hefty carbon footprint is ensure they don't end up in a landfill site for the next century and beyond. Thankfully, it's now easier than ever to recycle used game entertainment systems, as the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft operated lets you send in your old console for free🍨, and they'll do the rest. 

is offering up to $200 in trade-in value for an Xbox One X or PS4 Pro, 175$ for a 1TB PS4, $125 for a 500GB or Xbox One S, and $100 for 500GB Xbox One, and all of that money can🌃 then be used on your purchase of a PS5 or Xbox Series X. As for the UK, GAME and other hig💧h store retailers aren't currently promoting any trade-in deals at present, but we'll let you know if/when this changes. 

Hand down/Donate

If you have siblings or close friends with any interest in ga🎀ming, then handing your PS4 or Xbox One down to them, providing they don't already own one, is a no brainer. Heck, you could even offer it up as a blu-ray player/general entertainment system to your parents. Who knows? Maybe they'll end up couch co-oping Divinity: Original Sin 2 together...

You can also donate your console to charity, with organisations like and putting your machines to good🉐 use, entertaining children in hospitals across the United States. For those in the UK, is always looking for console donations, too. 

Keep

There is, of course, the possibility that you don't bother getting rid of your console in the first place. If it's in good nick, for example, you might consider preserving it as a collector's item. There's also the unthinkable, but nonetheless plausible possibility that you may have to send your Xbox Series X or PS5 away for repairs one day, at which point you'll thank yourself fဣor holding onto their predecessors, giving you something to play on in the meantime.

Holding onto your console makes even more sense if you purchase an Xbox Series S or All-Digital PS5, as the lack of a disc drive on those consoles means they won't be able to play any of your existing physical copies of backwards compatible titles. With that in mind, it's absolutely worth holding on to your PS4/Xbox One, just in cas𓃲e, years from now, you stumble across your old library of games in the attic, and get a hankering to replay them all over again. 

Finally, if you're t🎃he sentimental type, you may just w🔯ant to hang onto the machine for the memories, digging it back out every now and again like you would a treasured photo book, reminding yourself of all the good times you had together. N'awh.
