Nice, but how much?

 

[Tomi]

Giefff to meee

 

[Bartski]

Yes please

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Nice, but how much?

$199 US

 

[Fbh]

Name still sounds like a sex toy.

Look cool, just wish Sony would stop taking so long to announce the price of their peripherals

 

[Con_Z_ǝdʇ]

Will definitely buy one.

 

[reksveks]

Nice, but how much?

The DualSense Edge controller will cost $199.99 USD/¥29,980 (including tax)/€239.99/£209.99

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Not this controller being almost half the price of a PS5 console. Wtf Sony, lmao.

And people expect VR2 to come out at 400€/$

 

[SlimySnake]

$200 lmao

I thought xbox charging $150 was bad

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Sweet Jesus at that price.

Nah I'm good.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

$199??

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

$200 lmao

I thought xbox charging $150 was bad

Once you get used to a controller like this you wont use a standard controller again, especially if you play shooters

 

[MidGenRefresh]

Looks sick. I will be getting one as more and more PC games support DualSense functionality.

 

[BadBurger]

The replaceable stick modules and braided, lockable cable are very nice touches - things I've wished manufacturers would do / provide for years now.

$200 though? Sony loves to overcharge for their phones and televisions, wasn't expecting them to extend that practice to PlayStation. $150 for the Xbox Pro controller was already a steep asking price. $200 is just silly IMO.

 

[TVexperto]

over 200 euros lmao FUCK OFF

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

Sony can hit the road with that price

 

[reksveks]

They sure are trying to drive their profit margins up. The controller is a 4 month exclusive?

Note for pre-ordering, its 4 months.



Obviously they are perfectly in their rights

 

[sainraja]

I dunno man. I got the Xbox Elite 2 and more recently the SCUFF PS5 controller and I can go back to a standard controller without any issues.

 

[Skifi28]

240 euros? Is it made out of gold?

 

[GrayDock]

$199 US

Thank you but no thank you... Will wait for a 'cheap' package, without the case, cable, etc, just the controller, like that 'cheap' Xbox Elite or try those DIY back buttons adapters.

 

[dotnotbot]

So we can finally replace sticks in a gamepad if one of them starts to drift but it costs half of a standard controller price (25 EUR).

 

[jaysius]

$200 for only 2 BACK BUTTONS... this is retarded.

Also making those retarded "shift" type buttons under the sticks, they could have saved that design cost to figure out 2 more back buttons/paddles. Xbox figured out the shift button just fine as a single button, and it works perfectly, having a dedicated button for mic level and headphone volume is a complete waste, nobody is changing those frequently, if the machine works properly and audio is properly normalized that's a "set it and forget it" feature.

It's good that it has removable stick modules, those are the things that die on controllers.

 

[Kabelly]

yes offence, this should have been the next gen controllers from the start. not some premium that segments users.

 

[8BiTw0LF]

If Hall Effect stick modules are made it will be a no-brainer, but it will be hard to get used to only 2 back buttons when I've used 4 for the past 5 years.

I'll probably wait for the V2 that will come out in a couple of years.

What's the benefit of the braided lockable cable? Seems wierd to me. Especially being at the bottom. Does that mean it won't charge on an official charging stand either?

 

[Kenneth Haight]

mainly for Souls dodging, mapping circle to one of the back buttons immediately

edit: feck me, didn't check the price first, that is pretty pricey to be fair.

 

[SLB1904]

Too expensive. Duslsense will do

Would be nice if someone makes a Hall Effect replacement module for these and I agree only 2 back buttons is a bummer

 

[solidus12]

It will fail like the PSX (PS2 DVR) and PSP Go did

 

[crazepharmacist]

What FPS game was that in the trailer? Was that TitanFall?

For me it's when I play on PC. I don't like having to pair it with bluetooth, since my PC is on my desk and close enough for the cable. A braided cable should last much longer, as it's more flexible, and the lock prevents the occasional, accidental disconnection - which becomes more common as the cable ages and the port on the controller used more often.

As for charging on the stand, I don't know, but I hope Sony didn't change it so much that it wouldn't be compatible with the official charging station.

 

[8BiTw0LF]

Apex Legends

 

[lh032]

200 DOLLARRR!!?????? ARE YOU CRAZY SONY!!!??

 

[Senua]

 

[jaysius]

Completely agree, it's such a shitty value they had to toss in a usb "locker" or whatever to try and justify the high price.

We'll never see back buttons as standard, because dumb people won't understand it.

 

[V1LÆM]

$200

lol

 

[Ansphn]

As long as the modules are reasonable pricing, these are 1st day buy. This controller should last the whole generation.

 

[Pelta88]

I love how Returnal is getting that first party shine in the sizzle reel.

 

[Three]

So those things at the bottom of the sticks were function buttons like I predicted and not trigger releases. Nice!

 

[AndrewRyan]

Man, thought you guys were joking with the $200 price. Sheesh.

 

[midasmulligan]

see ya scuf reflex pro/fps

 

[Fake]

 

[prinz_valium]

264,99€ für the Controller including replaceable sticks.

So, the same as a Series S.
LMAO

 

[Physiognomonics]

At 240€ it's about the price of XSS in some areas (269€).

How can it cost almost as much as a Zen 2 RDNA2 console? It's outrageous.

 

[V1LÆM]

44% of the cost of a PS5 itself. 55% of the cost of a digital PS5.

67% the price of a Switch OLED

84% the price of a Series S

No thanks! This is for people with more money than brains. I'll just use the controller in the box.

 

[Godot25]

I really hate this new reality where one thing costs 199$...
...but it costs 239,99€ here

 

[STARSBarry]

Yeah I will wait for reviews at that price, this costs more than Nintendo's old hardware for a fucking console...

Also £210 in UK compared to $200 US yeah fuck off with that lol

 

[8BiTw0LF]

Adjustable deadzone is pay to win for Destiny 2 players lol.

It has an abnormal 22% deadzone and with the Edge controller players can set it to 0-5% and have an edge - pun intended.
