How this ROG Ally trade-in offer works
The ROG Ally X is an upgraded version of the original ROG Ally, designed to take handheld gaming to the next level. With improved performance, better cooling, and additional features, it's a great option for gamers who want a premium experience. If you already love the ROG Ally, the ROG Ally X will feel like a big step up, offering smoother gameplay and more power for demanding games. You can check out our ROG Ally X vs ROG Ally comparison for more details – some of the highlights include double the battery size (80Whr vs 40Whr) and improved RAM (24GB LPDDR5X vs 16GB LPDDR5).
Best Buy's trade-in program lets you save money on the ROG Ally X when you trade in a similar device, like the ROG Ally. The trade-in value depends on your device's condition and what accessories are included. Here are the steps you need to follow:
- On the ROG Ally X product page, find and select the trade-in option.
- Choose the ROG Ally or another eligible device for trade-in.
- State the condition of your device.
- Mention whether you're including the power adapter, cord, and battery.
- The site will calculate your savings based on the details you provide.
If your device is in good condition, with light wear and tear, minor scratches, a working battery, and all essential accessories included, you'll get the full $230 discount. To qualify for the maximum discount, your ROG Ally must:
- Function properly without any major issues.
- Run on battery without needing constant charging.
- Show only minor wear, like small scratches or light signs of use.
- Include the original AC adapter, power cord, and battery.
If your device has more significant wear or is missing accessories, you'll still get a discount, but it will be less than $230. In any case, the trade-in deal is available now and will stay live until December 31, 2024, though we cannot guarantee the Ally X will retain its own $100 discount for that long. If you have the budget, we recommend making the switch as soon as possible so you can start enjoying a better gaming experience on the new and improved 2024 model.
