It promises more next-gen consoles will be available soon on December 18, 2020, 7:57 43 comments
WTF?! Scalpers and the bots they use have been a scourge to all gamers hoping to grab a PS5/Xbox Series X/new PC hardware this season. But some retailers have succeeded in fighting back against the practice, including Walmart, which claims it blocked tens of millions of bots attempting to grab the PlayStation 5.
Jerry Geisler, Walmart Global Tech s Chief Information Security Officer, writes that one of the preventative actions the company implemented just hours before the PlayStation 5 event on November 25 blocked more than 20 million bot attempts within the first 30 minutes alone.
PS5 Restock Updates for PlayStation Direct, Best Buy, Walmart and More

The PS5 has been available at multiple retailers this week, such as PlayStation Direct, Walmart and Best Buy. While some gamers got lucky, others weren t so fortunate, as the consoles sold out immediately. With only a week to go until Christmas Eve, the PlayStation 5 console may be more in demand than ever.
There are currently no confirmed drops for the PS5 ahead of Christmas, as retailers have been releasing the consoles sporadically and typically with little to no warning. However, this does not mean that getting a PS5 for the holidays will be impossible, though gamers should know where to look and be ready for when more consoles drop.

Walmart stopped millions of grinch bots from buying PlayStation 5 consoles as stock went live last month, an executive has said.
Jerry Geisler, chief information security officer of Walmart Global Tech, said the retail giant used detection tools to block a swarm of automated attempts from purchasing the next-generation gaming machine before legitimate customers. One bot preventative action we implemented just hours before the PlayStation 5 event on Nov. 25 blocked more than 20 million bot attempts in the first 30 minutes (which is a fraction of what our systems deal with continually), Geisler said in a blog.
