Did you miss Walmart’s Cyber Week restocks of the PlayStation 5? That’s OK, because the retailer is restocking PS5 consoles yet again.
On Dec. 8 at 12 p.m. ET, Walmart will restock the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Digital Edition for paid Walmart+ members. These elusive consoles have been nearly impossible to get since their releases back in 2020, largely thanks to , but we’ve been seeing more consistent restocks (especially at Walmart) since the holiday shopping season began.
If you’re already a Walmart+ member, all you have to do is be ready at the time of the restock and add one to your cart (and maybe say a little prayer). If you’re not a member, you still have time to for $12.95 per month. Even if you sign up just to order a console and then cancel your subscription, we say it’s well worth the money.
Keep in mind, though, this offer will only be available to paid Walmart+ members, meaning if you’re only signed up for the free trial, you won’t qualify. While it’s a bit of an inconvenience for non-members, this ultimately has a silver lining — putting up a paywall will add yet another layer of protection from bots, providing a better chance for shoppers to get one over the scalpers.
Get ready, and good luck. We hope a new console is waiting for you on the other side.
