Sell your Sony Playstation Game Console

1. Check the back of your console:
   • For PS4 (CUH-10xx, CUH-11xx, CUH-12xx models) - Look near the bottom left chassis.
   • For PS4 Slim (CUH-20xx models) - Look underneath the lip above the power port (flip the console over).
   • For PS4 Pro (CUH-70xx models) - The model number is on the spine, above the system ports. In all cases, the model number will start with "CUH-" followed by four numbers and a letter.
   • For PS5 - Positioned vertically, the model number will be located on a sticker there. You might need to remove the stand first (if attached) to reveal the label. The model number starts with "CFI-" followed by a series of numbers and a letter.
2. Look at the original packaging or receipt: The model number might also be printed there.

Before selling your PlayStation, reset it to wipe your data and protect privacy. Here's the quick guide:

1. Back up saves (optional): Use USB storage or PS Plus cloud (subscription needed) if you want to keep game progress.
2. Reset via Settings: Go to Settings > Initialization > Initialize PS4 (or PS5). Choose Full (recommended) to erase everything. Confirm and wait for the reset to complete.
3. Reset via Safe Mode (if needed): If your console won't boot normally, follow steps 1-5 below:
   1. Power Down: Completely turn off your PS4/PS5 (holding power button for 7(for PS4) or 3(for PS5) seconds until beeps).
   2. Enter Safe Mode: Hold power button again until two beeps (one initial, one after 7 seconds). Don't release after first beep.
   3. Connect Controller: Connect your controller with a USB cable and press the PS button.
   4. Reset Option: Choose "Initialize PS4 (or PS5)" for a full wipe (recommended for selling).
   5. Confirm & Wait: Confirm the reset (Full) and wait for the process to finish. Your PlayStation will restart automatically

• Remember: This erases all user data.

Bonus Tip: Deactivate your account as primary under Account Management for extra security.

Boost your value! Games & controllers make your PlayStation more attractive

Including physical games with your PlayStation can significantly enhance its value. It's important to note that digital games, due to their association with your account, cannot be resold individually.

Before selling any controllers, give it a good test run to make sure everything works perfectly.

Traded-in PlayStations are like phones:

• In good shape? They get fixed up and resold to new gamers.
• Too beat up? They're recycled for parts to make new stuff!
