PS5 Restock at Walmart Continues to Be Messy

09.11.2021 Comment Views: 21

A new restock of the PlayStation 5 took place at Walmart this afternoon. Over the course of the past week, this is the third such restock of the Sony-developed hardware that has happened at the storefront. And while the previous two restocks were largely a disaster, today’s new purchasing opportunity seemed to go a bit better than normal, although it was still quite messy on many fronts.

Today’s new restock of the PS5 went live on the Walmart website this afternoon promptly at 3:00pm EDT. Within moments of the sale beginning, social media began to fill up with responses from customers who were trying to snag the platform in the midst of this busy holiday season. For the most part, many of the same problems that have transpired over the course of the past week happened once again. Namely, Walmart’s website immediately began to freeze up for a number of people who were trying to purchase the console.

Compared to the previous two drops, though, it did seem like more customers were able to pick up the PS5 today compared to normal. While these success stories were few and far between, some did mention on social media that they were able to beat the bots and finally snag a PS5 console for themselves. Unfortunately, those who lost out on this restock once again were far greater in number.

Did you try to buy the PS5 for yourself today at Walmart? And if so, how did your own experience go? Let me know down in the comments or hit me up on Twitter at @MooreMan12.

Keep reading onward if you would like to check out some of the reactions from other customers who attempted to purchase the PS5 today.

Are You a Liar or a Bot?

Fully convinced that anyone who claims they got a PS5 from Walmart’s site is a bot or a liar. At this point, if Walmart has them, and they aren’t allotted for Black Friday, they need to just start sending them to stores without warning and if people get them, they get them.

How Is This Still a Problem??

Not sure why @Walmart is SO BAD at these PS5 drops. Someone hilariously said “Are they dropping ONE console at a time?” They are a multi-billion dollar company, you’d think they could figure this out after *4* tries.

Bots Eat Up Again

@Walmart why are you holding all the PlayStation 5 hostage in your warehouses? Your queue process is absolute 💩 thanks for letting bots in and letting everyone get robbed by scalpers! #PS5 #Walmart #PlayStation5 #walmartsucks

“This Is WHACK”

Went to add pS5 into my cart at 12/3pm drop @Walmart and it said it was sold out to wait in que for 10 minutes. Then went to 30 minutes. Then nothing. This is whack. #PS5 #ps5restock #FAIL

Please Help, Dad

I’m convinced the only way I could possibly get a PS5 by the end of the year would be if my dad barrels through a Walmart crowd, elbows out, to get the last one on the shelf like he did for my Gamecube 20 years ago in 2001.

The man has real hero energy.

GET OUT THERE DAD.
