PS5 Walmart pre-orders promise to go live tonight – here's how to get it

Update: the links to the Walmart PS5 pre-orders are below and they go live at 9pm ET / 6pm ET. Go the page now (there are two versions – decide now), and keep refreshing. Good luck. 

Walmart will have PS5 pre-orders, which is going to be a relief to anyone who hasn't been able to find the new Sony PlayStation 5 in stock in the last 24 hours.

PS5 will be "available to purchase starting at 6:00 PM PT / 9:00 PM ET on Thursday, September 17" says the official Walmart PS5 pre-order page description. In other words: this is not a drill.

Here's where you can find the two PS5 editions on sale in moments:

Going fast: PS5 Standard Edition: pre-order at Walmart for $499.99
This is the version that has a 4K Blu-ray player, and has by far the most value of the two systems. Our theory? In the long run disc games will be cheaper. Get it ASAP.View Deal

All digital: PS5 Digital Edition: pre-order at Walmart for $399.99
This PS5 is even cheaper upfront, though it lacks the disc drive, so you'll be downloading straight from the PlayStation Store. Really, it's the best option if it's the only option in stock.View Deal

Walmart may to be your one opportunity to pre-order the PS5, but you'll have to act fast. The PS5 sold out last night within seven minutes, and a lot of gamers weren't able to find the system in stock anywhere.

That doesn't bode well for Black Friday 2020, where PS5 deals will be non-existent. In fact, you'll be lucky to find the PS5 in stock before 2021 the way things are going. You won't be able to go to the store and find the system for weeks or months if history of console launches repeat themselves. 

Other US stores that HAD PS5 pre-orders (and sold out)

  • Best Buy: pre-orders live previously - more on the way
  • Amazon: pre-orders live previously - currently out of stock
  • GameStop: pre-orders live previously - more on the way
  • Sam's Club: pre-orders live previously - more on the way
