X and Xbox Series S will retail for $499.99 and $299.99. Customers

In addition, GameStop today is introducing a new same day

October, GameStop will be teaming up with leading on-demand
carriers to offer this new service to allow customers to enjoy

purchases will arrive that same day or game release night through a
secured same day delivery service. The new delivery service will be
available at competitive price points so all game enthusiasts can
lever the new service.
GameStop is also introducing a broad spectrum of new flexible
payment options. Those payment options include:
GameStop Credit CardThe GameStop credit card
allows customers to leave the store that same day with their
purchases and pay their balance off in 30 days or conveniently over
time. Customers can enjoy additional benefits when they tie their
credit card to their PowerUp Rewards loyalty account. To apply
online, visit the GameStop Credit Card site.
Rent-to-Own (coming soon)The new
flexible rent-to-own payment option gives shoppers access to
thousands of gaming items with minimal up-front money, allowing
them to pay off their purchase between 30 days and 12 months.
GameStop is working with Progressive Leasing to offer this
rent-to-own service. Soon, customers will be able to sign up for
the service online or in-store through a mobile device.
Buy Now, Pay Later GameStop is working with
QuadPay and other leading alternative payment
platform providers to offer customers the option to pay off
their purchase in four installments over six weeks with no
additional fees. Customers can sign up for this service at any
GameStop store location or via www.gamestop.com or the GameStop
app.
Customers can also fund the purchase of either of these systems
by utilizing GameStop’s trade-in program by trading in current
generation consoles toward the pre-order of the new PlayStation 5
and Xbox Series consoles.
Finally, GameStop will also offer customers the opportunity to
take advantage of Xbox’s new subscription service – Xbox All Access
– to help them get into the next generation of Xbox gaming with no
upfront cost. From $34.99 per month for Xbox Series X and $24.99
per month for Xbox Series S, customers will get the latest Xbox
console – plus 24-months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate with instant
access to over 100 high-quality console and PC games. Players will
also have the ability to join friends with online multiplayer.
Homeister concluded by saying, “As these new consoles launch
later this year, we are taking steps today to enhance our shopping
experience by introducing a wide array of new payment options as
well as a same day delivery service to better serve our customers.
Whether a customer wants to purchase one of the new PlayStation 5
or Xbox Series systems, along with any of the latest video games
and accessories, our new financial payment options and same day
delivery service offers convenience, flexibility and affordability
