Please sell your Xbox Series X to Best Buy, asks Microsoft

Microsoft is urging Xbox Series X owners who haven't used their console in a while to sell it to Best Buy, according to reports from Notebook Check. The company has been sending emails to these individuals, offering up to $375 in gift cards if they trade in their console at a local Best Buy. This proposition, spotted by the same source, presents an opportunity for those with idle consoles to earn a significant sum.

However, the final amount may vary depending on the specific trade-in value. Microsoft hasn't provided a clear reason for this initiative, but it's speculated that the company might be attempting to bolster the market presence of the Xbox Series X. The current price of a new Xbox Series X stands at $799, making the potential trade-in offer a tempting proposition for many.
