The PS5 will be available online from Walmart at 3PM ET

If you haven’t been able to secure a PlayStation 5, you might be in luck. Today, Walmart is opening up for orders for the PS5 promptly at 3PM ET / 12PM PT (online only); this includes the $500 disc-based version of the console as well as the $400 digital disc-less version. Remember, it’s usually the first who gets the worm, but not always. If you miss out on the first wave at Walmart, the retailer usually releases more in 10-minute intervals, with the next being at 3:10PM, 3:20PM, and so forth until it runs out of stock.

Also, if you don’t get lucky at first, persist! Sometimes, the “add to cart” button will pop up intermittently, so just be patient and watch closely. It’ll only help your chances of securing a console if you sign in to your Walmart account and ensure that all of your shipping and payment details are set so you can fly through checkout if you get a PS5 in your cart.

We’ll add more retailers to this post if any join in on the fun.
