So many people tried to order the PS5 on Wal Lamart’s site on the day of its launch on November 12. Buckled under traffic. Aside from the sheer markups on the secondary market, we haven’t seen Sony’s shiny new game console since the sale – but that could change as we get closer. Black friday. Walmart’s big holiday sale event will start on Wednesday, November 25, at 4 p.m. PT, and the company has put this PlayStation 5 And Xbox Series X. Forward and center in its ad online advertising circular:

Both are marked “online only” and Walmart stores are closed on Walking Day. Does that mean they will actually be available for purchase between November 25 and November 30 (Cyber Monday)? Your guess is as good as ours, but we’ll keep an eye on Walmart Twitter feed And the product pages (linked below), which have done a good job of noting when sales online sales windows will open. Meanwhile, Walmart, like all retailers, currently sells both the $ 400 digital-only PS5 and the Blu-ray with 500 models. (As for the relevant time, we advise that if you do not need optical drive for games or movies, you should Go with 400.)
To make it a little easier to get to the product page quickly, we’ve linked to the Walmart product pages for both versions of the PS5 below. Looking for other retailers? Check the stock again on Amazon, Game Stop and Target.
Sony
This is the less expensive digital version, which has 825GB SSD but lacks optical drive. If you have a good broadband connection, your money is spent from here.
