PS5 DualSense Edge Controller

$199.99 save 13%

Walmart is currently offering the PS5 DualSense Edge Controller for just $174.99. That's 13% off the $200 list price, which might not sound like a lot, but the premium gamepad is rarely discounted. This is part of Walmart's larger sale that competes with Amazon Prime Day. We don't expect to find a better deal during Prime Day, and we doubt Amazon will offer a deal either. Check out our IGN review.

That's a 15% discount from its original $499 list price, and the lowest price we've seen for Meta's latest VR headset. We picked the Quest 3 as the best VR headset of 2024, and it's the only device you can play the upcoming Batman Arkham Shadow VR game on.

30-Day Free Trial Walmart+ Membership

20

30-day free trial available. Then it's $12.95/month, or $98/year.

See it at Walmart

Walmart is now offering two months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for free for any current or new Walmart+ members. If you're not currently a member of Walmart+, the retailer offers a 30-day free trial (which will make you eligible for the Game Pass offer), alongside plans for $12.95 paid monthly, or $98 paid annually.

For those interested in the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate offer, it is worth qualifying that this code will only apply to those who currently don't have an active Game Pass Ultimate membership, and Walmart stresses that this is for new members only. If you're on Game Pass Core, it should be fine to apply to your account. Otherwise, if you're a current Game Pass Ultimate member, the code won't be applicable. If you do qualify, it's a pretty simple process if you're looking to bag the two-month free trial, here's how:

Steps:

Visit the Walmart+ Offer Page and select 'Get Offer' next to the 2 free months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate listing

On the 'Offer Page' you will see a unique promo code, copy this code and keep a record of it

Hit the 'Redeem Offer' button on the page to go to the Xbox Site

Sign in to Your Account

Your promo code will autofill -- if it does not then paste/type

Redeem your offer and receive your 2 Free Months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate

Disable auto-renewal afterward to avoid being charged at the end of the trial -- this can be located in 'Services & Subscriptions' in your Microsoft account. You should also do this for Walmart+ if you used a free trial to access the Game Pass offer
