Trade ups to be available for the Elite?

Ever since it was announced, the Elite has been surrounded by controversy. Many declared it outrageous that after one and a half years, there was already a new, technically superior model available, and demanded that they could trade in their current 360 and get a certain amount of money off the Elite. Well whingers people, your dreams could well have come true. QJ.net received a tip off from an apparent EB Games manager saying the flyers were already with him.

Someone under the alias of Kaiser_911 had this to say:

Its me again, Kaizer_911 an EB Games Manager…not sure when the promotion starts but we got the flyers and materials a few days ago in our marketing update…there is going to be Elite trade-in/up promotions…trade in a working 360 Pro towards an elite and you get 250 off, trade in a working 360 core and get 200 off, trade in a regular xbox towards an elite and get 90 off. Once again not sure when this starts but I would imagine once the systems hit store shelves.

The deal DOES not work with pre-orders because the company is NOT taking pre-orders on the Elite. The company says they won’t take pre-orders on the because for one, the allocation is going to be VERY tight….maybe only 2-4 units per store at launch and two, just to see exactly how badly people want this new unit. Thanks.
