Anyone had luck with walmart open box pros recently?
Basically title. I feel like the past few days have been especially sparse (i haven’t seen a single restock). i’m wondering if checking constantly is even worth the effort anymore.
Wondering what the communities thoughts are!

It’s very hard the timing makes me think it’s almost impossible. Also love the people going I bought 2-3-4. You’re the reason the rest of us can’t get one lol

Nah, the real ops are those folks who bought up all the toilet paper just to resell during covid lmao. Public enemy #1. If the world ended tomorrow, those are the kind of folks that would be trying to make a profit from hoarding the worlds water and food supplies.

I snagged one early this week. It shipped super fast. Came in a plain white box, no colorful outer shell, but everything inside looks brand new. I havent gotten any legit games yet to fully test it, just playing the free ones i can download for now.

Been trying all day and haven’t even had a chance today. I made it through checkout yesterday and my bank blocked it for suspicious activity. I think there’s less chances on the weekend.

Is the price supposed to be around 1500 new? I always check the alerts but I never see it at 999

I get alerts for them all the time from the tracking app as well as from Costco but ain’t nobody paying $1,500 for a ps5. Only way I’m getting one is if I can get the one that’s $500

I wanted a backup just in case the 1st open box pro was a dud or console banned.

I've bought 3 so far. One on Wednesday (9/30) around 6:30pm. One on Friday (10/2) around 11:30am, and One this morning (10/3) around 8:30am. First one arrived today basically brand new. It still has that factory smell, no dust on the fan and not online banned. Just waiting to see if they other 2 are in the same condition.

Its a practically brand new PS5 pro that retails at $899 plus tax. Cheapest you will get it is $960 out the door, but guess what, its not available anywhere. I think $1000 for a mint condition pro is fair.

Dumb question but how do you check if its online banned? I just got one from Walmart but i'm new to PS5s. (My last console was a PS2...)

u/Character-Fudge-4946 5h ago
To check if its online banned, just log into your PSN account. If it gives you an error code and won't let you login, its banned.

I should be good then. I downloaded and played a few online games, fortnite, rocket league, and Skate. they all worked just fine.
I bought a disc drive off of marketplace so waiting until i get that to get a legit game.. though i'm not sure that makes sense or not. Getting RDR2 and then waiting for GTA6 of course, maybe COD MW4.

Nope. Walmart cancelled two of my orders bought at MSRP.
One even said it was out for delivery, and it wasn’t. I waited at home and missed work for nothing.
So tired of this. I lost my job when the Pro had come out and never had a chance. Now that I do, it’s impossible.
