PS5 Disc surprise from Walmart: PS5 Digital buyers get upgraded – for free - TechRadar

Attention, Walmart shoppers: You may be getting a $499 PS5 Disc console instead of the $399 PS5 Digital version, according to an email sent by Walmart today.

A Walmart executive sent an apology email to customers, according to followers who contacted our PS5 restock Twitter tracker Matt Swider with the news, explaining that the store oversold PS5 Digital consoles on Thursday.

Walmart is sending those PS5 Digital buyers affected the more expensive PS5 Disc version – for free.

Some people who bought the PS5 Digital console got upgraded to the PS5 Disc version for free?

It turns out Sam's Club, owned by Walmart, had a PS5 Disc restock (in bundle form) a few hours after Walmart had the Digital version – technically on Friday morning.

The theory from fellow restock tracker Cameron Ritz is that Walmart only sold the PS5 Digital console, saving the more appealing Disc version for club-store bundles (and we all know bundles make more money).

PS5 restock tracker Matt Swider often knows about Walmart PS5 restock news on Thursdays ahead of time (usually just after noon time).

Being able to buy a PS5 console has gotten easier in the last week: we saw Walmart, GameStop, Antonline, and Sony Direct do a restock last week
