- Post a comment / read (2) GameStop has humorously proclaimed the PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii U as officially retro consoles in a viral March 16, 2026 announcement. The retailer cited their launches during the George W. Bush era and lack of modern staples like Fortnite as key criteria. To celebrate, GameStop is running a limited-time promotion offering 10% extra trade-in credit for these systems and older hardware through March 21. Even defective or non-working units qualify for store credit, emphasizing their nostalgic value. The post sparked widespread reactions from fans feeling suddenly aged, with thousands engaging online.
