Update: It did not last long. By 13:00 PT all consoles were not in stock. Did you manage to get one while the window was open? Let us know in the comments if so. Otherwise, we’ll see you at the next reloaded rodeo.
Walmart is up to it again. The retailer has both versions of the PS5 and the Xbox X Series available for online sale today, January 21, from dinner PT (15:00 ET). For how long? Every time the stock falls in at any shop, it is almost immediately gone. But at least you can try your luck.
Looking for other retailers? Check out stock at Amazon, GameStop and Target here.

It was not on the availability list of today, but maybe it will make a surprising appearance?
The Series S plays the same games as the $ 499 Xbox Series X, but it has a 1440p resolution, has half as much storage space (500GB versus 1TB) and does not have the Series X Blu-ray player. It costs less and will be a good choice depending on your setup. Read our Xbox Series S review.

It’s Microsoft’s top-of-the-line console equipped with four times the processing power of the Xbox One. It has a Blu-ray disc and 1 TB fixed storage storage and can be output in 4K resolution. Read our Xbox Series X review.

The cream of the PlayStation crop, this console includes an 825 GB SSD and a Blu-ray optical drive. Read our PS5 review.
Sony
This is the cheaper Digital Edition, which has the same specifications as the more expensive one, including an 825 GB solid-state disk, except that it does not have the optical disk. If you have a good broadband connection, you can spend the best here. Read our PS5 review.
