Not sure if there was a thread on this already, but they are reduced on Amazon, GameStop, Best Buy, and the PS Direct Store.

I already have two extras, but might grab another in a color I don't have.

probably not a bad idea to pick one up when yours inevitably starts drifting

 

[Icymanipulator]

Nice was waiting for something like this. Need an extra

 

[JaksGhost]

I copped the Midnight Black DualSense for $10 yesterday since I had some Amazon credits. Bought it at 8am and it was delivered by 12pm, got to love modern amenities.

Do you live above the Amazon warehouse?

Jokes aside, Amazon has been worse for me since Covid. Games especially never arrive on release date.

Same. Went with the purple one and it was delivered 2 to 3 hours later. Looks so much better than expected in person than in pics. A nice dark purple.

Don't forget to replace the shitty battery.

Once you go purple you never go nurple

Purple is my favorite color, but the shade they use on the controller doesn't look that good to me. Too much blue.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

I have 4 controllers..........why do I want another color? smh

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Might pick up two more so I have two for my PS5 (purple and Edge), one for my PC and Switch, one for my PS3, and one for my PS2.

 

[Dacvak]

Dang, this is a solid deal. Might have to get a third controller.

 

[jm89]

Is there any decent third party battery options? I've looked around some of them look sketchy.

They are reliable brands like Lioncast or Paxo. But I don't know If they are available in your country.

You can never have too many controllers.

 

[Lone Wolf]

Bought the purple. It’s just too nice not to have.

 

[Bry0]

So tempted to get a black one to match my dark plates but my 2 white dualsense work perfectly fine

 

[poppabk]

Picked a purple one up to try out the haptics and trigger stuff on PC in games that support it and to have another wireless controller for just playing co-op games. I'm sure the evangelizing is overblown but I'm hoping it is at least impressive.

 

[violence]

There’s really not enough translucent controllers

 

[CrustyBritches]

Purple is my favorite color, but the shade they use on the controller doesn't look that good to me. Too much blue.

It is a unique take on purple(Galactic Purple). I was debating between black to match my PS5, or purple. Then I watched this video and it made me decide to go with purple.


When I unboxed it I was really happy that it looked better than I expected. The best way I can describe it is that the color and material make it look like purple fondant.

Have you had a chance to try out Astro's Playroom on PS5? It's the best demonstration of the DualSense. Very cool game, too.

 

[ReBurn]

Good to know. I'm still on the fence about that black Dualsense I've been thinking about buying. Gives me time to talk myself into it.

It does look much better in that thumbnail.

 

[lh032]

jus get an edge controller and it solves your drifting issue (kinda)

 

[ManaByte]

I’ll pickup another black one as a backup.

Astro is top tier but I think Ratchet and Returnal do it better.

 

[Mr Hyde]

I want the midnight black but these things never go on sale in my country. Would love a black Edge too.

 

[R6Rider]

Astro is top tier but I think Ratchet and Returnal do it better.

Lots of games use the adaptive triggers and haptics in great ways, and not even counting how amazing it is in VR.

GT7 and Sniper Elite 5 immediately come to mind.

 

[Icymanipulator]

Local best buy is out of black, so purple or camo it is, $50 is a great deal, can’t pass this up

 

[20cent]

My online friends will be so jealous when they see my purple controller...oh wait

 

[R6Rider]

My purple controller arrived today.

Looks MUCH better in person.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Where's the classic grey color?? With coloured Playstation buttons and classic Playstation Logo??

 

[Soodanim]

Tempted to get one for PC use even though my DS4 works just fine. It would be more the ergonomics I'd be buying it for.

Shame the Edge is so expensive, that's what I'd really want but I don't want to have to open up something that expensive to swap the battery out.

 

[crackajack]

Of course it's only available on Sony Direct in my country, in theory, because all colors are sold out/unavailable while showing the reduced 49€ price.

 

[STARSBarry]

Sounds like there going to release a new batch with improved internals so want rid of the old stock. Probably the new version coincides with the slim rumors and comes with that. Won't look different externally just new parts inside like how where at version 2 of the duelsense right now.

 

[Black_Stride]

You can never have too many controllers.

Dont tempt me you dog!

I already have so many Xbox controllers and now you monkeys are telling me DualSense controllers are on sale......I dont need another controller, I have one DualSense for games that utilize it well on PC and thats enough...........thats enough right?

 

[IlGialloMondadori]

got three controllers so no more for me.
Purple is the bomb.

 

[KillaJamm]

I'm tempted, mine has very minor drift in the left stick that I can remedy for a few hours by blowing into it. It's isn't a major issue but at 39.99 it is very tempting.

39.99?

 

[KillaJamm]

39.99?

UK price.

 

[Lunarorbit]

Went into target the other day and the original blue and red joycons were $79.99.

The hubris after the drifting scandal to still charge that much for 8 year old tech is on point for Nintendo.

Got an extra blue dualsense awhile back and it's great. Purple looks awesome too

What should they be charging for blue and red joycons?

Purp is the way,

 

[Magic Carpet]

Gonna get a Purple As soon as Gamestop opens today.
Also on the lookout for the PSVR camera adapter thingy. I need to find out if the free one is still a thing from Sony.

 

[StereoVsn]

I have 3 vanilla white controller (got the 2 extra for $39 each) so really don't need more. But if the other colors dropped to $40, I probably would have snagged blue or purple one. Just to change it up.
