Unlike Best Buy, retailers have generally not been warning shoppers ahead of releases, leaving gamers to rely upon rumors or wait for a Twitter account to announce that a website has restocked.
Now, gamers can plan ahead for the best chance of getting the in-demand consoles, with less than two weeks to go until Christmas.
If gamers are unlucky tomorrow, Walmart is rumored to be releasing more stock online soon. Shoppers have reported signs at Walmart stores claiming that the PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles will be sold online only as others claim that the retailer will receive stock on December 21 and December 28.
Although these dates are not confirmed, they are worth bearing in mind for anyone who misses out on the Best Buy restock tomorrow.
The now-confirmed Tuesday restock at Best Buy was anticipated by some Twitter users due to a leaked memo and an apparent glitch on the app. Therefore, while rumors should be taken with a pinch of salt, they are definitely worth paying attention to.
