Right but WHY are they more expensive?
The letter acknowledges it, but doesnt give any sort of answer

u/vJESSEv 7h ago
They have done this with used games before as well. They sell them for what they think they can and close out their new buying to focus on the more profitable used market that doesnt have map pricing
6
u/tLM-tRRS-atBHB 7h ago
Ah, gotcha. So they already paid the "old" prices for a system and they are selling it at a higher markup.
But wouldn't people just buy a new system instead?
8
u/vJESSEv 7h ago
Because they are hard to find and gamestop wont be stocking many just the minimum required by sony to be a dealer.
Plus the new ones will be force bundled probably with accessories and anything they need to unload

Because Sony isn't going to be making new PS5 Pro most likely so they're pricing at market value instead of relative to a fake MSRP.

u/logicblender1 1h ago edited 1h ago
People aren't giving the right answer in this thread. The real reason is because there was an exploit found in the PS5 that allowed people to jailbreak the console and get free games and download whatever they wanted and all sorts of other stuff. Sony patched that in the new software update so only PS5s with the older version can be jailbroken now. Therefore, the value of PS5s on the old software version is higher.

u/JayTL 7h ago edited 7h ago
Look at the versions that are this expensive. They’re more valuable and collectors items at this point.

That & new will be sold out pretty much permanently...
Not to defend them, but it only makes sense to sell it at market value when your local reflipper Raphael is buying them all up, new and used, and selling them for $1400 anyways
11
u/EXEC_MELODIE 10h ago
I would also expect them to open new stock they do get so they can sell at used prices. Wouldn't be the first time something like that has happened. Thinking back to the Xenoblade Chronicles Wii fiasco years back

u/InitialVarious1948 7h ago
Wow! Funny seeing someone else mention the xenoblade chronicles situation.
I’ve brought that up a few times over the years and people just called me a dumbass conspiracy theorist for believing it. I’ve never worked for GameStop but I 100% remember it happening and watching it unfold, thinking about how scummy that was. I’ve never seen someone else mention it until now.

What about old consoles, used consoles increasing in prices, new console cycle around the corner, increasing demand for PCs and cards? As if game CDs were the only way to possibly make money. They could partner with damn near anyone as a shipping point and drop off like PSA.
2
u/InitialVarious1948 7h ago
Physical games make up like 10% of their sales and the margins on new games are extremely small. I don’t know what GameStops profit is but a regional chain in the Midwest only makes 50 cents of profit on each new game sold.
People have been saying “that’s a fad” to everything GameStop has on the shelves. The statues. The funko pops. The other stupid collectibles. Now tcg.
They’ll just ride the wave until the fad is over and move onto the next trendy thing. GameStop has evolved the type of products they sell many times over the past 20+ years aside from video games. Up until recently they had very little debt with several billion in cases reserves which is unusual for a company, but it means they’re in a very good financial position. Also have to consider their investments which likely makes them a lot too.
-6
u/Character_Truth_3084 9h ago
Physical games and consoles make up the smallest percentage of Gamestop’s earnings, cards & collectibles make up the majority. The interest made on its cash/treasury bills & ebay position generate hundreds of millions per year also.

This is reddit dude. Dont expect the dipshits here to have any actual business sense. They just want to circlejerk and complain.
Sure, GameStop has some scummy tactics. But what they’re doing has been working well. Hence why they keep pushing it further.
One thing I’ve learned on this app. If Redditors think a business decision will cause a company to crash and burn, you can guarantee the opposite will happen and it’ll be a success.

So GTFO with your bullshit. We know what happens in our stores and how to mitigate loss... Corporate is LITERALLY incentivizing theft.

It's not the Sears model, at all.
GameStop is up 33% for the month, 22% for the year, and has a market cap of nearly $13 billion with almost $10 billion cash on hand.
I get that stores are getting hit hard and fast with changes, and morale is extremely low, but overall, GameStop associates are seemingly tolerating all these changes coming from corporate, since the stores are still staffed.
But from a financial perspective, this is a successful company, at least for the next few years. This aggressive focus on profitable stores, closing stores that aren't profitable, and being extremely agile with price adjustments in a turbulent market is apparently working just fine.
I don't get the premise that GameStop is scalping. Every single retailer sells things for more than they purchase them for. Hell, Walmart buys stuff for pennies from China and then sells them for dollars. So does Dollar Tree. Is that scalping? I don't see how selling PS5 Pro for what people are willing to pay is any different.

When I jokingly said "this isn't a game store anymore, it's a card/collector store that matches market prices" the employees laughed and said, "No bro, that's exactly what they tell us". It's my understanding that GameStop is actively teaching its employees that gamers aren't the real customers anymore, it's the FOMO card collecting shoppers.
They could probably care less if customers actually buy PS5 Pro's there. Those consoles have been OOS for months now. And I laughed when people said Sony's sales were going to tank after the price increase.

I mean fhays generally how information comes to retail we dont get like high production packets and information.
I mean the majority of planagrams i would receive were in black and white with a single photo requiring to place specific items at the top our store never would get.
Or checklists like this one with the most basic of informtion
Primarily because retail moves super rapidly depending on the store or type of store but generally you have to move this information quickly to 30+ stores in a district or more through the whole company. So less they type or spend time on it the faster it goes out

Possibly Production of new consoles might be getting delayed or more shortages of parts causing even lower new consoles being made?

u/birfday_party 6h ago
Its true i mean i could also be wrong i havent worked in retail for like a decade but i did for like 15 years, especially stores with large amounts of varying items, you would often just get an exel sheet with a small description, sku number, sometimes but not often a location and then the current new price and the old price and then you would manually take a pricing gun and adjust ever item once you found it. Sometimes this happens in unison sometimes stores just specifically get them and not others. I didnt specifically work at gamestop either but every company i have worked for has had a similar system.
0
u/Sweet_Importance_284 6h ago
That's what makes it so weird. I did work for them on and off, I haven't worked for them since 2019 and this feels way off. More off than usual. If they're legit doing this like they did Pokemon, then there might be one...or two suckers dumb enough to fall for it.
But last I checked, the website itself didn't have ANY PS5 Pros to sell AT ALL! So if this is true, then good freaking luck getting anyone in there to even SELL a PS5 Pro.
This is legit 2020 all over again. I wish GTA 6 didn't exist now....because no matter which PS5 you play it on (Or Xbox Series), It's going to run the freaking same...
1
u/birfday_party 6h ago
I mean it is probably that, if they dont have any new ones then they are making way more off preowned ones and if the market for second hand is at a higher price then yeah i mean scalpers are gonna grab it and sell it higher so a business is going to take advantage of it if it can and gamestop can. I mean were in the post bankruptcy gamestop era they are more than likely not gonna wanna be anywhere near that position again and just in general the greed from all companys has gone through the roof lately so this doesnt surprise me as much as it should. But especially not gamestop i mean its a pawnshop with shareholders
1
u/Sweet_Importance_284 6h ago
Yea. Sadly, that's how you get Big Lots too. Before you ask, I was a former employee for them too....ended the way you think it did. Sooner or later, greed will bite hard...and destroy Gamestop, just like Bruce Thorn did with Big Lots.

All this to try and capitalize on the GTA VI hype. I paid $650 for mine after coupons last year right before all the price increases when they had a good XSX trade promo going on. I paid a few hundred extra for the upgrade out of pocket and didn't really regret it, but even if I were in the market for a Pro I sure as hell wouldn't pay four figures for one especially when MSRP is $900. This whole company is borked at this point.

If you have SKUs, you can easily look up the associated product on GameStop's website. Go to any product page, change the numbers at the end where it says XXXXXX.html to your SKU, and hit enter.
So 416576 is a pre-owned PS5 Pro and 416577 is a refurbished PS5 Pro. You can put any of the SKUs from the document into the website and it takes you to the correct product. Even when you get an error on the page like with the Wolverine Adamantium SKU, the URL still changes to say "sony-playstation-5-disc-edition-pro-console---marvels-wolverine-adamantium-limited-edition"
Also the only "GameStop" that exists is GameStop US. GameStop US also owns EB Games Australia. EB Games Canada is an entirely different company.
