How to Get a PS5 or Xbox at Walmart on Cyber Monday

To help your chances of getting either a PS5 or an Xbox when they become available on Monday, November 29 at 12 PM ET/9 AM PT, you need to be a paid Walmart+ member. Not does this give you a jump on the consoles, but you get early access to ALL Walmart's Cyber Monday deals. In other words, if you want to increase your chances, you need to sign up for a month of Walmart+ membership.

Last Monday, Walmart had Black Friday PS5 and Xbox consoles available, with Walmart+ members having priority. I probably don't need to tell you this, but the consoles were long gone before non-members had a chance to get any.

Full membership to Walmart+ $12.95, and you can't get early access to Walmart's Black Friday deals with a trial membership. In other words, if you want to increase your chances of getting a PS5 this Black Friday, you need to sign up.Note: you don't get early access with a trial membership. If you want to get your hands on a PS5 or Xbox when they go live on Walmart's website, you pretty much need to have a Walmart+ membership.

When to Get a PS5 and Xbox at Walmart for Cyber Monday

The PS5 and Xbox console drops begin at 12 PM ET on Monday, November 29 for Walmart+ members, and will ONLY be available online. Even if you don't sign up for Walmart+ membership, I definitely recommend creating a Walmart account ahead of the PS5 and Xbox drops f you want to save a bit of time. On the off chance they do offer consoles without giving Walmart+ members extra time, you'll be happy you saved yourself the headache. When you sign up for an account you enter in all your relevant info: shipping and billing address, credit card info, and name. When the consoles DO become available, the few seconds you save by not having to re-enter in all your info could mean the difference between bringing home a PS5 or getting a dreaded "sorry, this item is no longer available" message.

...if you want to increase your chances of getting a PS5 on Cyber Monday, you need to sign up for Walmart+.

Definitely bookmark the item pages above, but this method isn't foolproof, as often Walmart and other retailers shake up the URLs for the new consoles to ward off bots. Also, the item pages often get taken over by third-party sellers when the consoles aren't available from Walmart, so you get some crazy high prices.
