Don't miss this fantastic chance to buy a PS5 today

Get ready folks, as a PS5 restock is coming to Walmart today as the store kicks off this year's Black Friday Walmart sale despite it only being Monday. The sale begins at 3pm ET, but you'll have to wait until 4pm to get your chance to buy a PS5. Hold on a sec though, as the initial start times are exclusively for Walmart+ members who will be getting a four-hour head start on the sale compared to everyone else. Let us walk you through what you need to know.

Walmart+ is a paid membership service, a little similar to Amazon Prime, but without the video streaming. In addition to a four-hour head start on their Black Friday sale (and other sales events) you also get free delivery from your store - including groceries. You also get scan & go shopping in-store, fuel discounts, and discounted Rx prescriptions. Overall, very handy, especially if you have a nearby Walmart for your main grocery shopping online.

Hold your horses though, we know you're probably only interested in signing up to increase your chances of bagging a PS5 and maybe getting early access to some of the other Black Friday deals. While there is a free trial for Walmart Plus, you have to actually be a paying member to get early access so you'll need to forgo the free trial. Head on over to the Walmart+ sign-up page and scroll down a little and click the 'Start Paid membership' button. Prices are $12.95 for a month, or $98 for a year. There's no guarantee at all that signing up will ensure you can buy a PS5, but there is zero-chance there will be any remaining PS5 stock when the sale opens up to non-members. Once you're signed up, here's where to look for your PS5 later on.

Check out the linked listing pages below and expect PS5 stock to go live at 4pm ET. The PS5 will be $499 while the PS5 Digital Edition will be $399. Anything higher for the consoles on their own is a third-party reseller overcharging - avoid.

Please get signed in well before this time though and make sure your shipping and payment details are already entered into your account info, as the fewer screens you have to load the better, if you're lucky enough to get a PS5 in your basket. We expect Walmart's site to really slow down, and possibly crash as is often the case when stores give advanced notice of PS5 restocks. Trust me, I've spent the last year writing about them.

$12.95 a month

Walmart+ gives you a four-hour head start on the Black Friday sale including the PS5 restock . Make sure you skip the free trial by clicking the 'Start Paid membership' button or you won't be let in to early access. You can ditch the service after a month if you don't want to carry on using it by the way.

PS5 $499 at Walmart

This is the full-on PS5, complete with a disc drive and the most popular version and will be the first one to sell out too. While we're expecting to see a few more PS5 restocks around Black Friday, this could be your last chance at Walmart.

PS5 Digital Edition $399 at Walmart

This version of the console does not have a disc-drive. So the the only games you can play are ones downloaded from the PlayStation Store, which we find is often more expensive than disc-based games. You're also losing out on DVD and Blu-ray playback. If you've moved onto an all-digital world though, then this might work for you and you'll save $100.

We'll be rounding up more Black Friday PS5 deals throughout this week and right through Cyber Monday for the latest discounts on games, headsets, storage and more. Speaking of storage, we're already seeing some fantastic early Black Friday PS5 SSD deals.
