Poll: Will You Buy the DualSense Edge PS5 Controller, Now We Have a Price?

Absolutely not. Paying that much for a controller is ludicrous.

I'd buy Series S instead.

I have no real need for one and the price seals it

No way. Not at $200.

Im not interested at all.the ps5 controller is still the best.and the red ps5 dual sense is excellent.word up son

Seems way too high for what it offers, $150 is pretty much the upper end of what I would have considered.

I would like to know if the joystick parts are higher quality (not the thumbpad portion, but the actual components in the controller), because sony uses really cheap joystick components (just like nintendo and microsoft)

For anyone that wants back buttons, I highly recommend looking into the ExtremeRate Rise4 mod. Fairly easy to install, and has been working great for me so far, and was only like $40

Nope, I'm good, waste of money

I think Sony may discover their console and software demand does not extend to peripherals, but I am curious to see how it sells.

I wouldn't have bought it for 100, so there's that. I just don't have any use for the extra stuff. But 240 euros is still shocking, lol.

For me to consider, no more than 150.... since it's more, I'll just wait.

There is a market for expensive controllers, my brother plays on pc and spends insane (to me) amounts on 'pro' stuff for that. Even consoles, the arcade sticks for fighters are priced really high, and they hold their value second hand so people out there must be prepared to pay out.

@ThatMusicFan I personally think wish everything else considered, this isn't about being they are just offering a high end v product. We don't have to buy at all.

@get2sammyb you changed the tune quite quickly. You were saying it comes with all the extra bits and bobs..

Yes, day one. But I don’t recommend anyone getting it unless you have money to splurge on luxury items like this.

Even if I owned a PS5 absolutely not.

For 240€ you preorder or buy FF16, RE4 and FF7 Remake 2 to play for countless hours, give 10€ more and buy a Switch Lite or give 60€ more for a Series S and have access to more games or simply get another controller and two multiplayer games like FIFA or SF6 and play for lots of hours with your friends...

If I can get it for $100 in a few years from now then sure. Otherwise the normal PS5 controllers more than suit my needs, I'm not exactly a sweaty gamer by far.

£120 is my max price. I'm happy enough to wait... £210 is taking the piss really... Almost the price of a Series S.

Pretty sure due to lack of sales (because of the ridiculous cost) this will be in shelves in shops sooner than the PS5 itself. Christ.

@gavin_is_gavin Me too. $150 would be the most I would pay.

Yes. And If its related to PSVR2 in any way I will definitely buy it

@get2sammyb I know, I agree with what you're saying.
Just think that Sony are losing the "basic gamers" and are pushing ppl away to another platforms, service providers etc. Hope the power of people is still just as mighty as when they tried to create "americanised" football super league!

The cost of a Switch Lite? Heck no👎

People here don’t understand the Daulsense Edge is a premium luxury product lt’s not made to be affordable just like Lamborghinis and Ferraris ain’t affordable.

@Relygon Muhahahahahaaaa "luxury item"...

OK... Games Workshop is expensive as hell these days, but I rather buy 20 bauble tree decorations, than 1 controller.

You'd be an absolute idiot to pay that price for any controller.

DualSense Edge + GoW Ragnarök or Xbox Series S + 3 years Game Pass Ultimate? 🤔

@4kgk2 the problem is Sony seem to be doing this with all Thier products, a price rise here a price rise there , Thier forgetting the ppl who have purchased Thier products all these years, they seem to be pricing them all out , Im.not looking forward to the psvr2 price

Hell no 😂 if this is the price of their premium dualsense I shudder to think what the price of vr2 is going to be (always thought its going to be expensive lol)

The main thing I liked about this control pad was the possibility to replace components, specifically the sticks. Although so far, touch wood and all that, my original Dual Sense hasn’t got drift, I would feel a bit ill having to buy new Dual Sense pads if that was to afflict me. That made the Edge desirable for me….. then Sony announced the price. It’s basically the same price as 3 pads and going by Sonys pricing policy of late, I would say that replacement analogue sticks will be something ludicrous like £29.99 for a pair. Unless the stick drift was a 100% possibility of effecting the original pads after a set time the Edge may end up being worthwhile after a few years, but as it stand it’s too much unfortunately.

@djlard You do you. Luxury item might be pushing it but I see most people think this price point is outrageous for a controller. I spent almost $3000 on a GPU the other day so I would be lying if I said $199 is too expensive.

Not interested in it at all. I thought the same before the price was even known. I was never fond of the Xbox Elite Controllers and the same goes for the DualSense Edge. I'm happy with just the normal DualSense.

What's with Sony and the crazy prices lately? I can't even guess how much PSVR2 will cost.

I'd rather have my heating on, can barely even afford that lol.

Not really interested in "premium" controllers but I guess the price difference vs other "premium" controllers is justified as unlike the others the dualsense edge at leasr have the sticks and d-pad on the right position

Nah, they can f off with that price. Sony is being unbelievably arrogant these days.

@Would_you_kindly Knock on wood i had the same response verbatim. 10 minutes before I read your comments😆.

The regular dualsense is a great controller, and a little too nice already for me to consider an upgrade, especially at that price. Xbox series X, however, came with one of the cheapest feeling, loudest, worst controllers in recent memory, so I had to upgrade to the elite.

I was in that 12% of $150-200. I'm surprised so many people thought it would be in the $100-150 range. That's not where most of these premium controllers are on the market unless it's on a pretty good sale.

I'll get one eventually though I'm not in any rush yet. I'll wait to see some impressions first.

@4kgk2 Yes people like @djlard

😂

I need a new controller soooo.... no. Too expensive!

lololol 200$ can you imagine?

Absolutely no.

May as well save that 200 for the Ps5 pro so I Can maybe get a guaranteed 1440p-1800p/60 fps.

Maybe there will also be more than a mere handful of current Gen exclusives by then as well that will actually fully utilize and be optimized for all this overpriced hardware 🤔

Can't wait to see this iteration (un-tempered greed) of Sony's pricing for the PSVR2, releasing with what will likely be 98% ports and one or two actual VR2 native titles.

I will spend the $200 on ps5 games.

Absolutely ridiculous price. I would love to see the profit Sony are making on each one because I'm certain it's a huge chunk of that price.

For that price you should instantly be first with every call of duty match. This is ridiculously high you can buy a console for that money.

Nope. Not a chance.

But I guess nobody here has ever seen a SCUF reflex PC controller. They "start" at $200. This is nothing new.

Just buy the regular PS5 one, it is a fantastic controller.

200 bucks??! LOL
Yeah, world is going to *****, inflation kicking EVERYONES ass.. you serious.

Yes, day one! Of course wish it was cheaper but $200 really isn't the end of the world. Seeing as my actual game purchases are in the single digits per year with GPU/Plus, freed up a good chunk of my gaming budget for luxuries like these.

Can't wait for it!

If I win the Euro millions tonight I'll maybe get a couple day one.

But since that ain't happening, it's a no from me.

@Greifchen ill guess ik get GOW and the, controller then. But i think ill get a 2TB SSD first.

@Shepherd_Tallon
That's a good point. It's certainly not chump change for sure. Maybe on a Black Friday deal it might get closer to $150!

@IronMike my man!

That’s way too much. All I want is the back buttons, which Sony should have just put on the DualSense in the first place. Boooooo, Sony

No point. I will still suck at competitive games. Why waste the money.

When the price comes down a bit and it comes in black.

It’s probably a pass at the moment considering I just bought the purple controller to go along with the white and pink controllers I already have.

Way too much for me, that's a big portion of my toy budget, which is all earmarked for a VR2 next year.

To be honest I'm not a serious enough gamer, though, so I guess it's not aimed at me. I'd balk at spending half of that on a controller.

The price on this is ludicrous. It doesn't make sense to charge so much for it compared to the xbox one. For that price, they can keep it

"A fool and his money are easily parted"

I'll buy two just to spite the poor fuc- I mean, economically challenged who come to complain despite not even owning a PS5.

No, dont think its worth the price. In my opinion the dualsense is already a great controller, works super without the extra bells and whistles this controller adds.

This is a luxury product, price looks fair to me considering the features. It is not needed to enjoy the games. I have spent more on some gamepads though... and they had less features in some regards. To me just the integration with the OS for easily changing button maps and volume levels makes it worth it. I am currently using my Dual Sense from release day modded with Extreme rate back buttons. 2 buttons has been enough, so will be happy with that on the Edge. The other features seem like great value for the added price over my modded controller(the cheapest current option for back buttons)

heres an idea Sony, remove the case no one will use, and all the other sh*te. and make it 150.

Nope. I won't buy a PSVR2 either.. because I still can't find a PS5, so peripherals are kind of a moot point.

@riceNpea

Hey riceNpea, how are you? This is man.the.king from EG.

With this extreme pricing, PSVR2 is for sure going to be a lot more expensive than the PS5 disc model.

A Premium controller targeted at a hardcore niche market and people are upset it’s not being sold for $12.99 for the common people.

@Relygon Game Pass Ultimate isnt that expensive ia it ??

@IndoorEnthusiast it's odd, expensive niche peripherals that most people wouldn't buy have been around forever, usually unnoticed by most people who wouldn't care. I guess it's today's age of reporting on everything and anything that is bringing them to the wider public eye

THOSE survey numbers will bode well for sony, i am sure

@man-the-king hi mate!! Good to hear from you. Hope you've been keeping well across the pond 😊 I was just going to bed and saw your message and I just had to delay my beauty sleep to greet my old chum 😁 big hug!

Costs $315 in Australia, need I say more. I’ve owned both elite series controllers and they’ve both broke on me with stick drift, same as my dualsense controller. Also, the fact I mainly play on pc these days is another reason because the majority of games don’t natively support PS buttons for on screen prompts. Now if anyone wants a REAL controller for pc, switch or Xbox (not sure if there’s a PlayStation version) you should buy the 8 bit do pro 2 controller, literally the best controller I’ve ever had. I bought the Xbox version, but the controller has the PlayStation stick layout and a Nintendo quality D-pad and the best thing about it is you can get it wired! I play on my pc monitors, even for console games, so wired is 100% the best option for me, screw worrying about my controller disconnecting every few hours.

Fully get the idear it's meant to be angled as a premium product but £209 is a bit extreme especially due to the current global cost of living issues (some country more than others). This show how now Sony are back on top they no longer care about the average consumer and are back to elitism, like why not come out with a back button attachment (e.g the ps4 one) for a cheaper price (e.g £40-60) then market this controller for the people who want a more integrated and luxury experience, which is what the current price point already leans its self too. As someone who has been a Sony supporter for some time now it is getting harder and harder to defend the company.

I'll get one for me and the missus. They'll be fab for playing Peggle 2.

An extra 40 beans I could get a Xbox series s.

Nah. It has some neat features but it's so high priced.

@rawzeku I thought it was a lot like a second-bit rapper, myself.

Don't own any of these more expensive Pro Controllers so far. It looks good, but the price is too high. I'd be more interested spending that money on PS VR2

@Flaming_Kaiser You mean GOWR, though, right?

@Smiffy01 Oh, no. I was referring to the 4090 Nvidia graphics card. I see now how it could’ve been mixed up with Game Pass Ultimate. My bad!

I was super hyped, but 320AUD... yeah nah, just sad. Based on this guessing the PSVR2 will be in the upper-upper region of estimated pricing.

if my 4th dualsense goes bad , yeah

@Martsmall PSVR2 is gonna be a minimum of £500 with the controllers and the tech they have in it. I wouldn't be surprised if it cost more than that even, but we'll see...

Worth nearly as much as 5 regular ps5 controllers - through online traders like shopto. Plus ps5 controllers I've bought have joystick drift issues. Unless the quality is way way mproved I'd say no chance . May pick one up in sale, but costs outweighs the benefits. This gen has all been about a quick buck on remasters and too many games focusing on appearance same goes for the controller

I cant even afford a second duelsense now. 70 dillars before tax is too much.

I’ll never pay more than ~$70 for a controller. I hate all those back buttons anyways as I’m someone that moves my fingers around a lot.

For me, there's nothing wrong with the original included one. I'm glad I have a choice and this wasn't bundled with the already expensive system.
I think it's so funny folks cannot for the life of them get an old N64 controller for NSO because it keeps selling out, and here you have this advanced controller for a substantially higher price, and folks are like, nah.

@tselliot Yeah mean the latest GOW.

For those that are going to buy one of these...you know the PS5 already comes with a controller right?

I've never understood premium controllers in general. Unless you're a competitive professional gamer I just don't get the appeal. Lol

If 12 percent are willing to buy…..that is 2 million plus if extrapolated to user base. Even if half that number buys, it’s a gross of $200MM

@riceNpea

Thanks mate! It's great to see you too!

Just decided to start spending a chunk of my time over here. It's getting a bit toxic over at EG, with trolls like Ep13 and others getting free rein while others who tire of it get "moderated".

On a nicer note, how are things? Now that we've somewhat moved past the hairy COVID pandemic stage, I hope things are better now (IIRC, a neighbor of yours didn't fare so well).

Things are going reasonably well over here in the US (political climate notwithstanding), at least for me.

@Relygon I know was just messin 😄👍

@CielloArc buy 20 and give it to poor mate.

Get a switch or series s instead and enjoy some new experiences. Price is ridiculous, but we have come to expect from Sony sadly

There is no way having detachable sticks with 2 more extra buttons on the back sky rockets manufacturing costs 4x times the original dual sense....

Heck yeah, as soon as it release in Australia I’m getting one. Having back paddles is fantastic.

I do not need it so I have zero reason to buy one. The dualsense controller is great and all I need.

Sony getting greedy here. This is how you lose a ton of market share. Increasing the PS5 price right before they tell us they expect to sell 30 million next year, then pricing this at TRIPLE the price of the DS5!? Seriously??

It's really cool, but this is kinda an anniversary gift...I don't have enough disposable income to purchase this. This is probably for professional/hardcore users, I'm sure Sony only expects to sell to a very small portion of the userbase at that pricepoint.

I'll probably get one for $150, with my preferred color and name engraved...

Ecch, why the gloss? Keep gloss away from controllers.

It really seams Sony wants to go back to the days of The Sony Tax.

Considering i'm seen by a few people on here as pro sony everything it may be a shock to them to see me say no to buying this..£100 would have been a fair price and i still would have hesitated at that price point..i'll wait for a black friday sale or check out other online retailers that will inevitably lower the price to clear stock..does look nice though..

I'll just start calling all these things the Sony tax from now on, definitely. Absolutely outrageous.

nope i will just buy 4 dual sense controllers

I've been waiting for the release date and price thinking I'll be getting one but at that price they can shove it, £200 for a controller is way too much and I think Sony has overestimated the spare cash the average gamer has right now. This feels like a major self own.

240€ is ludicrous for a controller. For the same price I can get 3 DualSense controllers and still have some money left over.

I get the fact that they're trying to push it as a luxury item with this price, but a controller costing more than 1/3 of the console it's meant for is pure insanity.

@Relygon Luxury items are, as said, Lamborghinis, Rolex watches, or Birkin bags. This is just ordinary controler, with ordinary colour, just with swaping sticks. You won't wear it on golden chain around your neck, or talk about it in local golf club...

At this price, this is strictly for the enthusiasts. Luckily the DualSense is already an excellent controller, and I have a few of them already, so the sense of missing out isn't really there for me.

Might look at the Edge in a sale.

At 10% likely to pick it up in this poll, that seems pretty decent for such a high end offering. Id like to try one....

Replaceable joysticks to stop Drift or just use Hall Effect Joysticks instead...problem solved without over complication.
and yes that price is ludicrous.They seem to be taking tips from Razer and Nvidia with that !

£210 holy poo. There’s a market for this I sure as ain’t it.

The digital PS5 is £360. This controller is £200?!

Hell, this is only a little "cheaper" than the Xbox Series S which is a whole other console that comes with a controller and has a pro-variant controller that's drastically cheaper too.

Outrageous.

As a friend of mine said, for that money you'd better do more than edge me.

@man-the-king it's all fine here. All the covid stuff is history thank goodness, there's no way anyone would accept a lockdown again. Yeah my neighbour died but he was 87 and very ill already. What's worse is that I have 3 friends who have heart conditions after taking the vaccine, one of them needed an urgent operation!

Life in general is good. Had a couple of holidays and I play a lot of football, can't ask for more 😁 Glad to see you're doing well. I follow quite closely what goes on politically in America and it is an absolute mess, what with the Democrats going extreme left wing, Biden having dementia and the media ignores it (if he doesn't he must just see dead people as a hobby) the mad gender identity politics, immigration and crime escalating in the south, the northern 'sanctuary' states losing their minds when 50 show up in Martha's Vineyard 😊 very interesting times over there mate 😁🙃

200 quid 😂😂 dont be daft

Not in a million years would I pay that. I'm going to sell my PS5 since the only game I play on it is is GT7 and some PS4 games. I can play GT7 on my PS4 pro.

I'll come back to PS5 in about 2 years, because at the moment it's a very expensive luxury with only 3 or 4 exclusive games to its name.

This is a double hell to the nawhh….. battery life is only 4-10 hours. At least the Elite 2 has a 40 hour battery life. I only charge mine one per month!

"The best place to pay."

@IndoorEnthusiast

This exactly! The entitlement of the gaming community during this generation is astounding to me. Crapping on Sony and Playstation has become a meme at this point.

Bought a SharQ adapted Ps5 controller with paddles / height adjustable sticks for about £120 the same month as the PS5 came out (pity they went bust!), which is still going strong. So will pass on this typical sony 'premium' product at its current price. Let's hope like it's overpriced headphones they get a £50-£75 price drop within the year so are a bit more realistic.

Hahahahahaha... hahahahahahahaha... No

Anyone wanna trade a slightly used Nintendo switch for one?
Otherwise I find it difficult to justify the price really

Absolutely not.

They should fix the sticks in the "standard" version as well, instead of selling a more expensive version with replaceable sticks. There exists better technology for controller sticks and it's not that expensive, especially when you're Sony and will be looking to order hundreds of thousands at a time.

@man-the-king hello mate! Hope you're well. Are you banned from EG now? Darkside says your account may be banned because he can't see it anymore. Are you OK?

@man-the-king hey man! You seem to have disappeared from EG. Hope you are good. If you have discord search for me (weebleman#9372). Myself, rice, darkside and others have a group set up on there. Find me on there and i will invite you in mate.

Hey Weeble, thanks for checking up on me! Yeah, I'm good, mostly.

"something" happened to my account back in November, and EG's mods didn't respond to any of my emails. So I'm guessing it may be banned, although I'm not sure for what.

Then had a couple of bad months in December/January, both professionally and personally, and EG's account suddenly seemed as important as a gnat.

I just created a Discord account for myself, and will send you a message there.

@riceNpea

Hey Rice, thanks for checking up on me! Yeah, I'm good, mostly.

Weebleman asked me the same thing as well. I just created a Discord account for myself, and sent him a friend request.

@man-the-king sorry to hear you've had some setbacks, hope you're over that mate. Please consider joining our group on Discord, its got loads of the old boys from EG who are fed up with their agendas, heavy handed moderation and censorship, we'd love to see you there.

@riceNpea

Thanks Rice! I would love to join your group - can you send me the name?

@Weebleman

Hi Weeble, you should see a friend request from me on Discord - it will be from "mtk#6322".

@man-the-king hey man. Added you and dropped an invite over to you on discord
