PS5 DualSense Edge Website Surfaces, Lists Exact Contents of What's Included

Sony has launched the DualSense Edge website and also, the exact PS5 pro controller content included that will be available for those who buy one.

Nice! Depending on price I may just hold off on a second controller and wait for this and pick this up as my second controller/primary. I’m going to guess $199USD/$279CAD

[excaliburps]

Same. I’ve put off getting any controllers with paddles since I’m pretty sure this will beat those out of the water handily.

[Nitrowolf2]

yeah that's the price i'm guessing too, prob the most i would spend

[MadLad]

I like the PS5 controller, but you'll never see me spending hundreds of dollars for any controller.

[MadLad]

I'd love to see how many people who disagreed actually will buy this controller.

[Pyrofire95]

I get wanting a quality controller but $200 is a pretty good sized investment. I could do a lot of other things with $200 and my experience honestly wouldn't be much different with a pricey controller.

[Knushwood Butt]

I disagreed and have no plans to buy this.

1. I really like the Dualsense as it is. My favorite pad to date.

2, I bought that attachment paddle for the DS4 and didn't use it. Nice bit of kit but I found I just didn't need the extra buttons and had a hard time adjusting to it.

3. This new pad is white. I have two white Dualsenses and despite me being keen on clean hands at all times, especially when playing on my gaming hardware, I found that the white pads get grubby quickly and are hard to clean. If anyone has any recommendations on cleaning products please let me know.Since then I rotate my main pads between a black and a purple pad - no complaints.

[Orchard]

I agreed and have no intention of buying this controller

@Pyro you summed up my experience with these premium controllers perfectly.

They feel great for the first hour but then you start to realize, it doesn’t really add much to the experience (especially not ~$200+ value) unless you’re a pro COD gamer and even then, I play COD on PC and these controllers don’t come anywhere close to a KB + mouse for FPS.

@Knush 100% agree on the white controllers. I’m planning on replacing my in box controller with a black dual sense, likely around Black Friday as it’s kinda difficult to justify buying another pad purely because of the color.

No real great tips for cleaning to share with you I’m afraid.

[Knushwood Butt]

@ Orchard

No worries on the cleaning tip, I did see someone on YT recommend something dedicated but I can't remember what it was and would have a hard time getting it where I am anyway.

[myfathersbastard]

If it comes out at THAT price I’ll wait for a sale. Honestly I wouldn’t spend more than $150CAD/$115USD on one. Some trigger stops and 2 extra buttons shouldn’t make the price almost 3 times as high imo. Even with a carrying case.
Kudos for including a Canadian price. Don’t see that often haha But $199USD would be about $259CAD.

For context. Regular controllers go for about $89.99 or $94.99 CAD. But they regularly go on sale for $69.99.

[1nsomniac]

If you’re willing to spend £200 on a game pad you’re a muppet and you deserve all the capitalist scummy dishwater that the industry is currently drowning in!

[LucasRuinedChildhood]

Are the high and low dome stick caps actually domed, or is that just a reference to their height and they're otherwise the same as the standard sticks?

[Deathdeliverer]

Man… I can’t even bring myself to pay for a Xbox elite controller for that absolutely ridiculous price. The mark up on that “elite” has got to be insane. I’d love to see the margin on that mf. As long as Sony keeps their feet near the ground I’m good. Regular controller is like $70? I’ll give it $140-$150 and realistically that’s high but I’ll allow it. They go into that $200 water and yet again I’m out. Ain’t no way you’re going to convince me it’s some kind of god tier tech warranting that price inside there.

[MadLad]

You'd think they could afford to make it cheaper, being they're price gouging virtually every other element of their games division.

[garryxcs]

No they're not, give it a rest.

[MadLad]

@garry

What do you call pricing all your games more, raising the price of your system after 2 years on the market, announcing you have more GaaS titles in the works than actual AAA games you can name, putting BC behind a paywall, being one of few who charge for next gen updates?

I'll leave the Last of Us Remake out of it being so many on here want to defend it though the work they've done on it definitely doesn't justify a $70 price tag after already being sold twice in less than ten years.

[CS7]

@garry

They are.

[garryxcs]

"What do you call pricing all your games more"

They didn't price "all" their games more and it's ok to wait for a price drop which happens all the time and relatively quickly.

"raising the price of your system after 2 years"

Inflation.

"announcing you have more GaaS titles in the works than actual AAA games you can name"

How does GaaS titles have anything to do with "price gouging"? You're just throwing everything against the wall for your tirade and seeing what sticks. Actual Playstation gamers have no problem naming AAA games.

"You'd think they could afford to make it cheaper"

You'd think xbox could afford to make the elite controller cheaper considering they have so much money.

You clearly have some serious biased agenda against Sony and are hyper critical of everything they do.

[crazyCoconuts]

I feel like the elite (and probably this edge) is just priced like a luxury item for either ppl super into gaming or with money to burn. I agree the markup has to be crazy, but there's enough people out there willing to drop the $ to make it worth it. Probably sells well during the holidays when no other big tech toys are capturing the market

[wiz7191]

There’s been sales on the Elite Series 2 controllers , I got mines from Walmart for $130 brand new ..

[whitbyfox]

All for the Sony ‘inflation’ price of $499.

[crazyCoconuts]

Yeah. 'Inflation'. What a hoax.

[garryxcs]

Typical reductio ad absurdum from the haters.

[whitbyfox]

Typical response from the apologists.

[garryxcs]

Where did I apologize? What I'm I even supposed to be apologizing for considering we don't know the price point yet? Do you guys ever think before you post? You made a ridiculous comment I simply pointed out how ridiculous it was. The controller won't cost "$499" so stop being ridiculous.

[whitbyfox]

An apologist is somebody who sticks up for a company’s shitty moves. You have done it for the PS5 price increase.

You may or may not do it for this being over priced.

[garryxcs]

I know what an apologist is and I know why you're trying to label me one. "Shitty moves"? Increasing prices of a product do to inflation and stating so has nothing to do with apologizing it's stating a fact as it relates to business, but please do keep that energy up the next time you go shopping for anything and are shocked at the total your merch comes to. Granted in that case you won't be able to use it to attack Sony. Inflation is real like it or not.

[Orchard]

He’s not wrong, it is a shitty move to increase your prices by 10% in almost every major region when your competitors are not.

No matter how hard you try to defend that, it is indefensible, and it makes zero sense for a consumer to try and defend it. Unless you’re Jim Ryan in disguise 🤷

[garryxcs]

He is wrong and so are you, it's called inflation and business and Microsoft did it in India twice which people here have of course defended and made excuses for, doesn't matter if its one region they still did it. You can fake outrage all you like Orchard it isn't going to make PS5 sell any less no matter how much you want to attack Playstation and its fanbase.

[Orchard]

Can you link me to where Microsoft or Nintendo have stated that due to inflation, they will increase the prices in major regions - specifically the UK, Europe, Japan, China, Australia, Mexico and Canada? I can wait while you track it down.

No fake outage here - I am part of the Sony fanbase and I was lucky enough to get one before the price increase. It sucks for everyone who has yet to buy one and is a completely indefensible move when others are not doing the same. Being a fan doesn’t mean blindly defending every move.

[garryxcs]

Can you link me to where Sony has to do whatever Microsoft or Nintendo is doing in terms of dealing with inflation around the world? I can wait while you track it down.

Your post history suggests otherwise. If you already have one you have even less reason to complain. People have been paying huge mark up prices from scalpers and other sources for months now and if people are willing to pay those prices for a system they'll happily pay for a moderate price increase do to inflation, people know Playstation is a quality system and worth the price. Being a fan doesn't mean you blindly attack them for every move they make and use it as an excuse to troll either.

[Orchard]

“ Can you link me to where Sony has to do whatever Microsoft or Nintendo is doing in terms of dealing with inflation around the world? ”

They don’t need to - but it sure is a bad look, and a huge middle finger to fans to do what they’ve done when others are not.

Yep it won’t affect me since I have one - but I do care about my fellow gamers and the industry.

“ Playstation is a quality system and worth the price”

Great - so where should they stop? Maybe they should make the console $1000 and bump games up to $100?

[garryxcs]

"They don’t need to - but it sure is a bad look, and a huge middle finger to fans to do what they’ve done when others are not."

Looks fine, it's not a middle finger to anyone you're being ridiculous and using this as an excsue to hate, it's just business and making a mountain out of a Mole Hill doesn't change that fact.

"Yep it won’t affect me since I have one - but I do care about my fellow gamers and the industry."

Your comments don't feel like "care" for your fellow gamer, they feel a lot more like derision and condemnation.

"Great - so where should they stop? Maybe they should make the console $1000 and bump games up to $100?"

When are you going to stop with the absurd suggestions?

Not reading anymore of your nonsense Orchard, time to move on.

[Orchard]

“When are you going to stop with the absurd suggestions? ”

Not absurd at all - you said it’s a quality system worth the price so I’m asking how much you think it’s worth - how much should Jim raise the prices by?

The sad part here, for myself and everyone who games on PS, is that we are well and truly back into PS3-era Sony and we as consumers are going to pay the cost of allowing that to occur.

[poppatron]

I really really want this but like a few others here have said, I think I’ll likely be priced out. Just cannot warrant £150 on a controller.

Potentially could go up to £100 at a real push but that’s my limit

[Destiny1080]

just when you thought controller tech could not advance any further, sony unleashes this beast
