Micromania is offering a historic rebate for the purchase of a PS5 Pro: you will only pay €370 if you resell your classic PS5, purchased in 2020.
The PS5 Pro has been criticized since its presentation. The reason is obvious: its exorbitant price of €800 – a price that had never before been reached by a home console –, for benefits far from talking to everyone. There is, however, a way to soften the bill: a new take-back offer offered by the Micromania brand, from January 2 to 13.
Concretely, the brand specializing in the sale of video games buys your PS5 for a high sum in order to help you take the plunge. Here are the prices:
- The PS5 Pro at €359.99 if you bring back a PS5 Slim
- The PS5 Pro at €369.99 if you bring back a PS5
- The PS5 Pro at €489.99 if you bring back a PS5 Slim Digital
- The PS5 Pro at €499.99 if you bring back a Digital PS5
Other consoles (Xbox, Switch) are affected, but the advantages are less interesting. In the list above, it is the offer attached to the PS5 launched in 2020 which seems unbeatable: the console is sold for €430, or only €70 less than its base price.
Is Micromania’s trade-in offer for the PS5 Pro interesting?
Some would say that you still have to add €370 to purchase a PS5 Pro – and that it is still not worth it given the performance of the console (which improves the rendering of games on a case-by-case basis). , depending on the optimization work of the developers). But there are nevertheless arguments which make this offer from Micromania quite essential.
We still remember that the PS5 Pro is aimed at a demanding audience, equipped with a high-end television equipped with the latest display technologies.
Your PS5 will only cost you €70
€70: this is the price your PS5 purchased at launch will have cost you – or a few months later, before the €50 increase. A paltry amount of wear and tear, especially if you’ve owned it for more than four years. This also implies that the PS5 Pro would ultimately only cost you €440 (370 + 70). We are far from €800.
Come with a two-year warranty
If you purchased your PS5 in 2020, then it is no longer guaranteed. Do you have a problem? You will have to pay and, depending on the breakdown, it can be very expensive. Starting again with a new console is the assurance of having peace of mind until the PlayStation 6 (which is not expected before 2027). An advantage to highlight.
The 2 TB of storage
Yes, the PlayStation 5 Pro doesn’t have a disc drive — you have to buy it separately. But it has 2 TB of storage space to install all your games acquired in recent years. It’s more than double the normal PS5, and very comfortable to use. Remember that an additional 1 TB SSD costs around €100 (the same as the removable drive).
The best console to play GTA 6
You are probably aware that Rockstar Games is currently developing GTA 6which could liven up the end of the year (we believe in it less and less). And everything suggests that the PlayStation 5 Pro, the most powerful console on the market, will be the best platform to play it and benefit from its ambitions in terms of graphic fidelity, fluidity and richness of the open world.
A better recovery for the PS6
How much will the 2020 PS5 be when the PS6 launches? Nobody knows, not even Micromania. But one thing is certain: the PS5 Pro of 2024 will be more expensive (a big discount is to be expected, however), which will allow you to upgrade to the new generation “at lower costs”.
What are the recovery conditions?
Micromania imposes several conditions for this takeover offer:
- Be of legal age
- Show ID
- Have a loyalty card (you can create it on site for free)
- Provide all console accessories (official controller, HDMI cable, power cable)
The resold console must obviously be functional and in good condition, knowing that it is not necessary to provide the box.
