We’re turning Black Friday into a home stretch, and Walmart has announced that the next wave of consoles will be for sale online. Both versions of all four next-gen consoles – according to updates on the mart mart product pages PS5, This Xbox Series X. And Xbox Series S. – will be available on its site November 25 at 6 p.m. PT / 9 p.m. ET. It’s Thanksgiving Eve, if you haven’t checked the lender.
No wonder the launch day was not a good one for the retailer. Many people tried to order the PS5 on November 12 at Walmart’s site Buckled under traffic. But the good news is that things got a little better on November 19, when Wal-Walmart had another sales event. We heard from a number of CNET readers who confirmed that they had successfully ordered the console.
Even so, owning one is still beyond the reach of the average person. Inventory is still low, and average customers like you and me continue to compete with bots. So, when Nov. 25 rolls, if you are one of the successful people, please let us know in the comments.
To make it a little easier to quickly navigate to the product page at the time of the game, like, we’ve linked to all of the following console’s mart mart product pages. Looking for other retailers? Check stock again on Amazon, Game Stop and Target.

PlayStation Crop Cream, this console includes 825GB SSD and Blu-ray optical drive. Read our PS5 review.
Sony
This is the less expensive digital version, which has the same specs as the more expensive one, including the 825GB solid-state drive, except it lacks the optical drive. If you have a good broadband connection, your money is spent right here. Read our PS5 review.

This is the micro-ft’s top-the-line line console equipped with four times the processing power of the Xbox One. It has Blu-ray drive, 1TB solid-state storage and can output in 4K resolution. Read our Xbox Series X review.

This is a step up from the 9499 Xbox Series X. It plays all the same games, but it’s capped at 1440p resolution, has half the storage (500GB vs. 1TB) and doesn’t have the Series X’s Blu-ray player. Read our Xbox Series S review.
