This offer is good only for current-generation video game consoles, so you can forget about purchasing a cheap NES off eBay and use it to your advantage. Basically, as long as you pick up an Alienware gaming system, you are able to log into the trade-in portal in order to enter data from the purchase receipt and print a pre-paid shipping label for an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 console. Once the system has been accepted, followed by some functionality testing to make sure the console is in fine working order, you will receive the $200 via bank transfer within 40 days. Starting price for Alienware systems before the trade-in offering start from $699. Have you ever wondered what would happen to all of those consoles that are traded in?
