Between Microsoft acquiring Activision Blizzard and Sony buying Bungie, 2022 is already panning out to be huge for video games. Is this the year you finally get your hands on a next-gen console, too?
You can tempt fate this Thursday, Feb. 24 at 12 p.m. EST when Walmart restocks the PlayStation 5 ($499), the PlayStation 5 Digital Edition ($399), and Xbox Series X ($499) as part of an Exclusive Access Event for Walmart+ members. The event will also feature deeply discounted items across the store's electronics, fitness, home, and apparel departments (up to 40% off!), so even if you miss out on one of those consoles, you can at least score a good deal or two.
If you've shopped any of these Walmart+ affairs before, you know the drill: This restock/sale is restricted to members with a paid subscription. (In other words, free trial accounts don't count.) On the bright side, this acts as a nice deterrent for bots and scalpers and includes further benefits like unlimited free delivery and fuel discounts. It's also way cheaper than an Amazon Prime membership nowadays — click here to sign up for just $98 a year or $12.95 per month.
Trying to hunt down an Xbox Series S ($299)? No need to wait until the event starts on Thursday: Walmart already had the disc drive-free version of Microsoft's console in stock at the time of writing.
