If you’re still trying to buy a new PlayStation or Xbox console, you'll have another chance today.
Walmart is reportedly restocking on the PS5 and Xbox Series X at 5:30 p.m. PT / 8:30 p.m ET. They'll be available on both Walmart.com and its app while supplies last.
If you successfully place an order, Walmart will send the consoles via delivery. There’s no in-store pickup this time. Use the links below to place an order once the time arrives:
- PlayStation 5 for $499
- PlayStation 5 disc-less digital edition for $399
- Xbox Series X for $499
- Xbox Series X Halo Infinite Limited Edition Bundle
During previous restocks, the units sold out in seconds. However, Walmart will have a staggered re-stock every 10 minutes, so if you fail to snag one immediately, don't give up.
Both consoles have been in short supply ever since they launched in November. Not only are consumers buying up the products, but so are scalpers hoping to profit off the demand. To this day, new PS5 and Xbox Series X units are getting resold on eBay often for $700 or $800.
Not helping the matter has been the ongoing chip shortage. But in some good news, this week Sony said it’s secured enough semiconductors to reach its goal of shipping 14.8 million PS5 during the fiscal 2021 year, which ends on March 31, 2022. So the supplies could improve, assuming scalpers don’t buy them all up.
If you fail to snag a PS5 or Xbox Series X from Walmart, we recommend using an online inventory tracking service, which can tip you off about product restocks. Try Hotstock.io or tune into select YouTube channels that track PS5 and Xbox Series X inventory. Best Buy and GameStop are two other retailers that’ve been routinely restocking on the consoles as well.
