• Walmart shoppers said that a
  number of hot video game deals sold out online just seconds
  into Cyber
  Monday.
• Customers complained that products like Red Dead Redemption
  and PlayStation 4 sold out suspiciously early.
• Walmart has advertised
  a number of flashy Cyber Monday deals on top video games and
  video game products.

Many shoppers who stayed up late to snag one of Walmart‘s Cyber Monday deals on video
game products walked away empty-handed.

And a number of these shoppers took to social media to report
that certain items like Red Dead Redemption and PlayStation 4
seemingly sold out within seconds. A Walmart spokesperson didn’t
immediately return Business Insider’s request for comment.

A few customers said that they had placed the products in their
online cart before 12:01 a.m., when sales
were set to begin. Social media users speculated about the
possibility that bots had bought up all the deals.

But the disappointed shoppers weren’t just mad about missing out
on the savings. To take advantage of the Cyber Monday deals,
these customers stayed up until midnight on a Sunday.
