It has not been as difficult to get a PS5 than it used to be. Even if you don't see rows of them in stock at USA stores, it's easy to get one. Walmart has another event for Walmart Plus subscribers. The standard bundle of the PS5 will be available for $549 at the major retailer.

It feels a little backward to pay Walmart extra money just to get the console since Sony has been re-selling the bundle several times a week. If you already subscribe to Walmart Plus, you can also get a PS5 bundle if you want it. You may have less competition if the Sony restocks are any indication.

Signing in to your Walmart Plus account is a must for those of you jumping on this. You have to have a paid account if you want to join for a month. If you get any errors or out-of- stock messages, be persistent and refresh the Walmart listing right as it starts.

Recommended PS5 games and accessories

While the PS5 bundle gets you a great open-world game, there are plenty of other titles and accessories you may want to consider.
