If you've been on the hunt for a PlayStation 5, you've surely noticed that inventory has been a little thin -- even though Sony's newest console has now been out for two whole years now. The good news is that if your Black Friday shopping list included a PS5, you're in luck, because Walmart has it in stock: Right now, you can grab a PlayStation 5 bundled with God of War Ragnarok, and better still, you don't need a Walmart+ membership to do so. Both disc-based and digital edition console bundles are available for $559 and $459 respectively, but you better hurry -- we don't expect either bundle to remain in stock for very long.

Why you should buy the PlayStation 5 God of War Ragnarok bundle
Both Sony and Microsoft released their next-gen consoles in 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic that caused all sorts of supply chain issues. Because of that, inventory was limited, and while the production of Microsoft's Xbox Series X/S eventually caught up with demand, Sony's console is still hard to find. Thankfully, things seem to be getting better, and just in time for the 2022 holiday shopping season and the Black Friday sales.

Hurry! Walmart has the PS5 in stock right now. This is not a drill! Walmart has surprised us with a restock of the coveted new console, and it's up for grabs to anyone. As a bonus, the game comes bundled with God of War: Ragnarök. Both the console and the game are listed at their regular retail price of $500 and $60 respectively. You don't have to worry about buying a resold PS5 for twice what it's worth. For only $560 you can finally grab the illusive console for yourself.

The PlayStation 5 has had a rough launch. A microchip shortage and a worldwide pandemic combined to make Sony's supply chain a disaster. The console launched two years ago, but has still been difficult for your average consumer to buy. Sony announced in May that they would produce 18 million consoles in 2022, so things are looking up. But that doesn't mean you'll be able to walking into Walmart and grab one off the shelf anytime soon.

Best Buy is giving you a chance to buy the PS5 on November 7
The Playstation 5 system standing upright.

The PlayStation 5 was released in 2020, and since then, it has been hard to find just about anywhere. Even two years after its release, Sony's next-gen gaming console has been scarce at retailers, but if you've been dying to get your hands on a system, you might soon be in luck. Best Buy is offering shoppers a chance to buy the PS5 console starting at 12 p.m. ET/9 a.m. PT on Monday, November 7, but there is a catch: This offer is exclusive to those with a Best Buy Totaltech membership. Here's what you need to know.

The availability of the PlayStation 5 has been somewhat unusual, even in a period plagued with supply chain issues, computer ship shortages, and delivery delays. Most of those logistics problems have been cleared up by now, but for various reasons, Sony's next-gen console remains somewhat elusive. It hasn't been impossible to find, of course -- the PS5 has already sold more than 24 million units as of October 2022 (and has built up a solid library of PS5 exclusives in the process) -- but many shoppers have had to rely on signing up for email lists or keeping product pages bookmarked and checking them frequently in order to get lucky and catch one of these consoles when it becomes available.
