Introducing the DualSense controller – Astro Bot Limited Edition. Preorders begin August 9, launches September 6.

 

[Sleepwalker]

I like it

 

[Kuranghi]

I want this badly for some reason, it's super silly.

I have no use for it though lol, I have 2 for the PS5 and I rarely play coop with anyone. Then I have a dedicated PC one just so I don't need to resync one of the PS5 dedicated ones lol, buying a 4th would be double-overkill

 

[Coloress_Kafka]

White sticks I'm not washing my hands before every gaming session.

 

[Nankatsu]

It's cheesy, but it's Astro bot.

I love it.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Looks dope, I might have to grab one!

If only that trouchpad was a touchscreen. Battery life would be worse I know, But if only they had a bigger battery too.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Looks really nice. Love the eyes on the touchpad. It's a cool little detail we haven't really seen before.

 

[drganon]

Nice looking controller.

 

[Saber]

Not bad, but those sticks looks ugly and probably gonna look dirty after a few uses. Also, not a particular fan of the buttons collors.

 

[Just_one]

the stickers should have been blue but i like it

 

[Astray]

This might be the nicest custom PS5 controller Sony has released this gen.

Extremely elegant and simple, yet very good looking.

 

[Gaelyon]

It's cute. I wouldn't mind having a 2nd controller, but it's too expansive.

 

[Nonehxc]

Damn, two nice designs in a row. Someone must have been defenestrated at Sony design team and a designer worth his salt put on duty. Not like it's an amazing design but may get one.

[mitch1971]

Gonna sell bucket loads.

 

[DenchDeckard]

ALl over my face!

 

[ManaByte]

Too bad the scalper bots already claimed them all. It'll be $1000 on eBay.

 

[Elbereth]

My little ones absolutely love Astrobot so yeah, this is a no-brainer. The controller looks fantastic.

Hopefully I can snag one before it is sold out.

I...usually just do this no matter what the controller looks like lmao.

Random comment but I'll never understand how Playstation always thinks about us here in Portugal no matter what happens, but i love to see it. We were also one of the first few countries to have PSNow back in 2013, we have a PS Direct store, etc...

About the controller...that shit looks amazing. I didn't intend to give Sony more money this year besides the Pro...now i'm not so sure.

 

[Mr Moose]

I like it. Do the eyes glow?

 

[GrayDock]

Day 1... If I can beat the scalpers...

 

[Bernoulli]

Best limited edition controller

 

[Coherenthy]

Looks way better than the Concord Dualsense.

 

[Fake]

Cute.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Time to accidently break a controller.

 

[Punished Miku]

Not bad. It's minor differences from the original, but tasteful.

 

[tTHANOSs]

Yeah wish that part was blue

 

[Robb]

Too bad the scalper bots already claimed them all. It'll be $1000 on eBay.

 

[//DEVIL//]

This should be the official playstation controller.

I love it.

 

[Shake Your Rump]

ANALOG STICKS THAT ARE NOT BLACK!

It's a miracle. All these years of different colour controllers, but all with black sticks. I've always enjoyed the Xbox controllers that have coloured sticks. It's about time Sony gets into this part of the game. This is sweet.

 

[The Lunch Legend]

This is the only way to play Astro Bot.

 

[Punished Miku]

Not bad, but those sticks looks ugly and probably gonna look dirty after a few uses. Also, not a particular fan of the buttons collors.

It shouldn't unless your hands are literally filthy. It's hard plastic. Xbox has had white controllers for a while that don't ever stain.

 

[tTHANOSs]

Wish it was an exact 1:1 copy of the in game one. But this is still nice.

 

[Codes 208]

Ok now this one i would take, it looks cute AND its not based on a shitshow of a game

 

[Imtjnotu]

cool that the eyes blink on the controller

 

[Markio128]

Defo want. Not defo get.

 

[[Sigma]]

This was easy money. Looks great although I would have went with blue sticks. Still want the Glorious Graffiti DualSense to be a real controller in the future.

 

[Tommi84]

I want one

 

[tommib]

Time to accidently break a controller.

I've been dying to buy a new DualSense and this one looks excellent but the 2 that I got on day one work perfectly - for my big disappointment. Can't justify buying a new one.

 

[Markio128]

Is it me, or does the Astrobot main theme tune sound a bit like Starlight by Muse?

 

[Roxkis_ii]

Man, did Playstation pick up the Xbox controller team or something? First the Concord controller, now this one. Sony is 2/2 on special edition controllers.

 

[MayauMiao]

Better than the lame Concord. Don't waste your money on that trash.

 

[jumpship]

cool that the eyes blink on the controller

No way. Maybe I missed it.

 

[Skifi28]

I always have a shelf full of unopened controllers for the inevitable case of unfixable drift. Might as well just get one more.

 

[ANoa]

One of the few limited edition controllers I'd ever consider buying. They're almost always ugly but this looks really clean.

 

[Švejk]

So want!

 

[Banjo64]

That's really cute
