Sony nudges some PS5 owners to trade in for cash.

TechPowerUp reports that some U.S. PS5 owners have received a PlayStation app notification inviting them to trade in their console through Back Market. The unusual part is the payout: Back Market inspects the hardware, then sends cash to the owner's bank account instead of issuing store credit. The reported “up to $400” figure comes from quotes gathered Aug. 23–Sept. 22 for a standard PS5 in Grade 0, basically flawless, condition with at least two controllers. The offer excludes PS5 Pro owners. A couple of users who tried the online estimator got quotes a little above $400, too.
