Walmart to Host Three PS5 Restocks Ahead of Black Friday

Walmart is reportedly hosting multiple PlayStation 5 restocks next week for Black Friday buyers. The holiday is fast approaching, but as early as now, you can give yourself a nice console from Sony.

The retail giant confirms that it's holding not one or two restock events for PS5, but there will be three instances where you can purchase this elusive gaming machine ahead of the holidays.

Walmart PS5 Restock Dates For Black Friday

The consecutive PS5 restocks are not something that we usually see every day. Although the current supplies of the console have dramatically increased over the past months, getting it from a trusted retailer remains to be a challenge for every aspiring owner.

According to a recent report by Gamerant, here are the dates that you need to save on your calendar if you want to get ahead of others for the upcoming restock wave at Walmart.

Monday, Nov. 21 at 12 PM ET (available online only for Walmart+ subscribers)
Wednesday, Nov. 23 at 12 PM ET (exclusively online)
Friday, Nov. 25 at 5 AM local time (walk-in)

If you want to increase your chances of snagging this in-demand console, then you might want to subscribe to the Walmart Plus membership. The subscription will grant you additional perks and discounts that are exclusive only to the members.

That's the only advantage that you will reap when you are a Walmart+ member. CBS News reports that you are eligible for free two-day shipping if you're subscribed to the membership.

What's more, is that the monthly subscription fee for Walmart+ costs $12.95. If you want to be an annual member, you can pay $98 for instant access. Walmart says that this subscription can be canceled anytime you want.

Where to Hunt PS5 Before Walmart PlayStation 5 Restock

This week, you can test your luck at StockX. There are PS5 stocks available at the shop. Since it's a third-party reseller, the price of the console is much higher than the other stores.

For that, you need to pay a $100 extra fee which exceeds the usual MSRP of the console. This offer is suited for rush buyers who want to immediately obtain a console for holiday gaming.

The PS5 bundle (blue-ray) will cost you $595 while the digital edition will be much cheaper at $562.

If StockX is not the best site for you, then you can freely explore GameStop and Best Buy for possible PlayStation 5 stocks.

Best Buy

Amazon

Here on Amazon's PS5 page, you can send an invitation request about the PS5 availability. The page says that sometimes, not all requests reach them due to an overload in demand. If you're really hell-bent to buy a console from this store, you can maximize your shopping experience by subscribing to the Amazon Prime membership.
