If you're looking to upgrade to a PS5, CEX might have an unusual solution: trade in your old PS2 games. The high-street retailer is offering up to £572 for mint condition copies of certain titles, enough to cover the cost of a new digital edition PS5.
According to recent listings, the shooting game Gun Club is the most valuable, with CEX paying £572 for a mint copy, £416 for a boxed version with manual, and £285 without a manual. Other lucrative titles include the horror game Kuon (£508 mint), Michigan: Report From Hell (£380 mint), and Silent Hill: Shattered Memories (£304 mint).
Collecting retro video games has become a profitable hobby, with platforms like eBay and Vinted offering free selling services. However, CEX provides a convenient high-street option for those looking to cash in on their old collections. The prices are subject to change based on supply and demand, and the amount received depends on the game's condition.
Other sought-after PS2 games include Armored Core: Last Raven (£243 mint), Samurai Western (£172 mint), and The Silent Hill Collection (£169 mint). Even less valuable titles like Rule of Rose can fetch up to £135 for European packaging. So, before you throw away your old games, it might be worth checking if you have a hidden gem.
