Just received the offer in my email. Here's a screencap of that fine print:
Working PS3s only, folks. The dream is dead, haha.
It's fair enough, they have to start making money off the Xbone somehow...you can't flog broken PS3's on eBay.

Exactly how I feel.Anger? I think it's hilarious. MS marketing always gives me a big laugh. They should send Penello in here with his damage control routine to close the show.
Just edited the OP.
Apparently the discount also works for PS3 or X360, X360 E
Shouldn't they be more concerned with converting their already existing 360 base to X1?Especially with the market advantage in the US.
Server conspiracy confirmed. Might as well add "must be able to run otherOS" to the terms.Working PS3s only, folks. The dream is dead, haha.
For the full $100 you need to buy an Xbox One at the time.
Yeah, no.
I like joke accounts. But seriously, why bother with a weaker console and non Sony IPs, when you can get a PS4 for the same price and keep your PS3? This is the worst idea from Micrososft since the forced DRM. Its funny though.
Wow, that is quality.
*in before Sony ad:
''drop your 360, it's worth nothing''.
"We'll get them to trade in their PS3s to us for store credit. Why? Once we have enough PS3s, we're going to use them for Australian Titanfall servers."
"Smashing idea, Johnson. I'm promoting you to CTO."
Well the post title was spun in a negative light. The promotion is for:
Might want to edit your OP with my screencap as well. People probably want to know that they can't offload their bricked systems.
Might as well wait till next year and get the Xbone for $100
Keep your PS3: Get PS4 100$ less than XBOX ONE.
Keep your 360: Get PS4 100$ less than XBOX ONE.
Do nothing: Get PS4 100$ less than XBOX ONE.
Spin? This is what the subject line in my email says:
They are actually trying to get Sony customers. Is this difficult for you to understand?
With PlayStation now on the horizon, this is a pretty decent trade-in when you consider what EBgames would give you.
Is this only valid for US customers?
To be fair, I think Sony IPs are highly overrated. However, as long as the price difference is as big as it is, there is no reason to get an Xbone over an PS4.
what the hell is MS going to do with all those traded PS3 then
With no backwards compatibility I think that anyone who is trading in last gen systems are making a mistake.
I still have a lot I want to do with my PS3. Now if Sony wanted me to trade in my 360 for a PS4, I wouldn't even have to think about it.
Microsoft be like, just give yo PStree away for nottin, then we be price matchin gainst the PSfoe.
No thanks MS.
My PS3 is a better all around console that's just slightly less powerful.
How is this desperation?
Best Buy had a promotion at the end of last year where you could trade in any 360 or PS3 for a $100 store credit. No one was crying foul then. As a matter of fact quite a few people here took advantage of that.
It's business people. Business!! Stop taking it so personal.

No 360 trade in? Weak sauce
