PS4 Cyber Monday Bundle Available at Walmart Now

Published

on

Walmart is now selling its Cyber Monday PS4 bundle on its Web site for $517. Walmart doesn’t actually have the PS4 in stock and ready to deliver a the moment, but is guaranteeing customers that order the PS4 today will get them in time for Christmas.

Though not having the console in stock and ready for delivery isn’t ideal, Walmart’s PS4 Holiday Solution is the best hope for those looking to the PS4 before Christmas. No other major retailer is currently selling the PS4 online as pre-orders or for immediate delivery.

Screenshot 2013-12-02 03.58.16The Walmart PS4 Holiday Solution doesn’t offer any discounts. Instead, it simply requires PS4 buyers to choose one game and one accessory. The  accessories to choose from are the DualShock 4 controller and the PlayStation Camera. Shoppers can choose one of the following games: Call of Duty:Ghosts, Killzone: Shadow Fall, Knack, Battlefield 4, NBA Live 14, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, Angry Birds Star Wars, Injustice: Gods Among Us, Just Dance 2014, or Need for Speed: Rivals. For a $60 up-charge Walmart will include Call of Duty: Ghosts Hardened Edition. An extra $15 fee is added for those who want Skylanders Swap Force Starter Pack.

The PS4 console carries an MSRP of $399.99, though major retailers have been virtually sold out of it since it launched on November 15. Retailers such as Walmart are bundling the PS4 with games and accessories in an attempt to maximize sales rather than allowing customers to buy them elsewhere. Fortunately, Walmart is allowing shoppers to choose their own games. GameStop is in the midst of selling an XBox One bundle that includes three games of the retailer’s choosing.

Those who opt for the Walmart PS4 Console Holiday Solution bundle will have to take Walmart’s word that it will deliver in time for Christmas. As the world’s largest retailer the company runs the risk of overselling the PS4 units, especially considering that there’s no competition for PS4 sales at the moment. Hiccups do happen when dealing with gadgets on such a large scale. For example, many Black Friday shoppers ran into trouble when they tried to redeem their Black Friday One-Hour Guarantee items before the December 1 deadline. Thankfully, Walmart extended the deadline to help ease the headaches, but those expecting a PS4 before Christmas won’t get a second chance to put a PS4 under the tree.

PS4 in Stock Cyber Monday

Above is the latest PS4 in-stock status from Nowinstock.net. The only alternative listed besides the Walmart PS4 Cyber Monday bundle is eBay, which is where a lot of PS4 scalpers are marking up the console by hundreds of dollars.

    I stayed up until 2:31am (12:31am PST) waiting for the ps4’s to be sold for cyber monday. I just sat there refreshing the page over and over. Finally at that time I was able to pre-order the ps4 holiday solution bundle. I was so excited! But then I woke up this morning to find out that Walmart has cancelled my order for some unknown reason… I hate Walmart!

      I may have found your problem. They for some reason allowed you to pre-order with game(s) that were sold out.

    I preordered mine this morning at 6:15. So far the order is still good. Of course after I post they’ll cancel it, that will be my luck. Hopefully they won’t!

    I’ve tried adding all the available games and it says failed for preorder… They only give you the option of COD, Killzone, and BF4. All of them are out of stock???

    I add BF4 and the Lego game they had earlier and it worked fine. I first tried on my IPad, didn’t work. Them on Firefox, didn’t work. Finally I logged into AOL and for whatever reason that worked.

    This is so misleading…Walmart’s site is not allowing PS4s to be purchased ahead of time. I called them several times today and they admitted that “pre-orders” will not be allowed until items are in stock.

    I pre-ordered the bundle on cyber Monday. The game and accessory I received – the PS4 just says PROCESSING with no dates. I have a feeling that it will get canceled. Why did they send the game and accessory? I will return them and NEVER shop at Walmart. I also chose the CASH option – so they have my money.

      They won’t physically have consoles to ship until about the 15th.

        Just an update Diane, mine shipped this morning. My controller shipped yesterday and I’m still waiting on my two games

    Mine just says “Processing” with no dates anymore. I called and the rep stated she would request shipping update – will take 5 days. Mine used to have the dates under processing – but now the only thing it shows is processing.
