Which product page should we load for this restock? There are a lot of resellers on Walmart that make it confusing to know which is the right product page.

Great question. If you click on this link at 2:50pm ET and start refreshing at 2:58pm every 5-10 seconds, you'll have a good shot. If Walmart changes the link ahead of time, I can change it on the backend, so this link will work 100% at that mentioned time https://mttswdr.co/ps5-walmart-disc

Hello Matt. In your opinion, if we follow your instructions, what are the chances to get the PS5 on June 2? Still hard nowadays? Thank you.

I think you'll have a 90% chance. Demand is way down and Walmart+ helps reduce resellers. Probably 70% for everyone, but 90% because you know a few tricks the average person doesn't. Thanks, btw, for being a paid subscriber, Fabio! I just hired someone (his first day is tomorrow) and it feels really good. Going to do some groundbreaking content over the next 6 months!

Not today, but they didn't restock in July. August seems like a definitely thing.

Seems like it didn't matter to sign in until AFTER the queue. Walmart's page is sometimes (often?) broken and unpredictable in this way. Hope you got it in the end!

Is it ok to try both PS5 versions in separated tabs (same Walmart account)?

Expand full comment

Yes, but they may cancel one (they didn't used to use that, but last two restocks, they counted PS5 Disc and PS5 Digital as one). But give it a shot. Different browsers (not the same shared browser, though, if it's the same exact product (i.e. two PS5 Disc versions). Good luck, and again, thanks for supporting my new venture.

How does the Walmart queue work? Do you see it when you try to check out, or do you have to go through it to get to the page with the PS5’s?

Great question, GasTra and thanks for being a paid supporter of me and The Shortcut. So, the queue will begin at (or around, as sometimes Walmart is late) 3pm ET. But you'll want to have the page loaded up (computer browser is easier to fresh than the mobile, but both have worked for me in the past). I suggest watching me on my Walmart PS5 restock Live Stream on YouTube to watch me. But at first you'll see the PS5 Disc products page, you'll begin to refresh (not too soon, though, or you'll trigger CATPHA security puzzles) and you'll land in the queue. After your queue time, you'll end up back on the PS5 product page and this time it'll be in stock. You'll have 10 mins to check out.

I hope that helps. Hit me up for any more advice. I'm trying to answer these as quickly as possible this week (got to this one within an hour!). It's an important week.

Also, thanks for using my links for Walmart+ and the console. I don't make any $ on the console, but I can on W+.

Yo thanks for the answer! I’m big into shoes, and usually the queue works a bit differently with those. After you pass queue you’ll get sent into a check out page, and will still have to hurry before sell out. I’m glad you told me how the Walmart queue works, appreciate the help a lot man.

I haven’t received any emails from The Shortcut since becoming a paid subscriber. Will everything in the emails be posted here on the website?

Yes, please look out for the next one today. I'll also post updates here!

I have also received no emails or additional content. I completely missed the Amazon restock.

You should have received the news about the GameStop and Walmart PS5 restock this week. And the next one is about PS5 game sales on Sunday (tomorrow). Please check your SPAM tomorrow if that's the case. Content will always be available on the website ad-free. Amazon sells out in 90s seconds, so while I created a page to narrow down the time, alerts for Amazon PS5 restock are pointless at the moment until demand goes down at it stays in stock longer than two minutes. I narrowed down the time frame (end of the month usually between 10am and 12pm ET on this page here: https://www.theshortcut.com/p/amazon-ps5 )

Has anyone's order shipped yet? I'm getting nervous there's no movement on my order confirmation but maybe it's typical for Walmart?
