Walmart will have PS5 and Xbox Series X replacements available today

The Sony PS5 and Microsoft Xbox Series X / S game consoles will be back in stock at Walmart today. A Walmart spokesman said The Verge that the retailer will have the consoles available for purchase again at 11:30 am PT / 2:30 pm ET for the Xbox Series X / S and at 12 pm PT / 3:00 am ET for the PS5. As usual, the actions are unlikely to last long.

Walmart plans to stock the PS5, PS5 Digital Edition, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S game consoles, with prices ranging from $ 300 to $ 500, depending on the model you purchase.

PlayStation 5

Prices measured at time of publication.

The flagship of Sony’s next-generation console, starting at $ 399.99. The biggest difference between the two models is that the Digital Edition can only play digital games, while the $ 500 PS5 includes a disk drive, allowing you to play both digital and physical games.

If you plan to buy a PS5 console, there are a few additional items that you should choose to get the most out of your new console. I recommend choosing a second DualSense controller, which is necessary for any multiplayer action in person. I suggest that first users also subscribe to PlayStation Plus, which offers some advantages, such as access to the PlayStation Plus collection.

No option to expand the PS5’s SSD, but it will probably come later this year.

PlayStation Plus subscription (one year)

Prices measured at time of publication.

PlayStation Plus allows PS4 and PS5 players to play online and receive free games every month, along with discounts on the PS Store.

Xbox Series X / S

Prices measured at time of publication.

The Xbox Series X is Microsoft’s flagship console, serving as its most powerful (and largest) option that costs $ 499.99. While the $ 299.99 S Series aims for smooth 1440p performance, the X Series focuses on fast 4K gameplay.

If you are buying an Xbox Series X or Series S, an additional controller is probably a good buy. And unlike the PS5, you can buy a 1 TB SSD expansion to add to the Xbox’s basic storage (512 GB in the S Series, 1 TB in the X), although it is not cheap. If you’re having trouble deciding which games to buy, you can always purchase an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, which gives you access to a range of digital games and access to Xbox Live Gold.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (three month subscription)

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is a subscription that combines Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Live Gold in one package. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers also have access to Microsoft’s xCloud cloud gaming service, which is only compatible with Android devices.
