Here's Everything Included in the PS5 DualSense Edge Controller Package

Its nice to see so much content in the package. But that really also makes you even more worried about the price. Surely all of that stuff would increase the cost. But again, its nice to see an actual package with basically everything.

This is going to be 200 quid isn't it.

great, a case few use and want, but an extra 25quid. incoming 200 price tag.

wonder if sony getting all bad PR out in 22. start2023 fresh lol

I’m going about £170/£180 UK.
We love everything expensive over here.
And currently PS5 is starting to rule the roost in the UK.

This looks like a good product, but it’s really otherworldly to see Sony dabbling with expensive devices like VR and uber controllers while also jacking up the price of the base system. 2022 Sony messaging is so opposite of the PS4 messaging which was making an affordable system that was great at playing games for everyone.

Is the DualSense that bad a pro model is needed? Aren’t these pads just expensive and unnecessary ?

@Luigia It's not that the DualSense is bad; it's Sony's best-ever controller. The DualSense Edge is about offering those extra customisation options for those who want them.

This should cost the same as elite series controllers but since it’s Sony we should apply the Sony tax and add $50😂

I predict around £140 for the UK.

DualSense Edge. It sounds like a new Gillette razor.

Considering Sonys recent track record I wouldn’t be surprised if it costs $200, the parts included are only an “estimate” of what you get, and there’s be a $10 upgrade fee.

I think Sony is adopting Apple marketing in that more expensive white and shiney devices are more sought after. It works in the UK unfortunately. I will guess at £180/200USD minimum.

@ApostateMage Thanks for the chuckle! You’re not wrong either! I guess they even take inspiration naming wise from fellow overpriced items on the market.

Sounds like the premium price is going to be due to loads of garbage add ons instead of improving the build quality, probably a pass then.

These “pro” controllers are a wonderful idea, as in having all those options at your fingertips for various competitive games.

However, I’ll say what both myself and friends have said for a while, these controllers really should be the default in high end versions of the consoles to begin with.

This controller, thrown in with the disc PS5 for example, with its new price tag would be a lot more compelling to people like I who play a lot of FPS twitch shooters.

And of course, I’m aware it all costs more to manufacture, develop and research, but we all know they make their money from micro transactions of mainly third party games nowadays, with a sprinkling of their own single player experiences.

They aren’t making the majority, or even a considerably large enough sum from sat extra controllers purchased. Or at least one would imagine to be the case.

But hey, what the hell do I know, it’s just I’m not asking for something for nothing, its a really expensive bit of kit to play what my father used to call “kids games”. Haha.

I have a PS5, but it would have been great to see Sony really give people a reason to want one for any other reason than FOMO.

It’s just a bit odd, I think looking back I would have just gone the Green side this generation, and picked up Sony exclusives at the end of the generation with a cheap second hand unit.

I don’t know how others feel, but to be a lifelong fan of Sony, and now to look at their controller and think “Great, that’s likely the price of a discount Series S”, it’s just not really a great feeling.

Sorry to ramble, I’m just feeling a bit ***** on if I’m being honest. Like yesterday it’s price rises to get said console, next day it’s look at this new shiny thing we made in a factory with questionable staff welfare who can’t afford one themselves!

Ah well, consumerism aye!

PS: Both my daughters controller for the PS5, and my partners have both just started to get drift that seems to be getting quite bad.

So yeah, no rush to the Dualsense Edge bandwagon for our household.

PSS: Do us a favour and like Xbox, allow plenty of third party cheaper standard no frills controllers to pair with the PS5. As it’s clear they’re the most throw away aspect of the PS5.

Again, sorry to ramble.

Man I don’t care about all this crap, I just want a back buttons on the standard dual sense but Sony is too greedy to let third party controllers on the PS5

Are we able to change the thumb stick tensions like on the Xbox elite controller?
This is not flame bait and genuine question.

Being honest in the looks department its a bit naff. Dualsense Fugly Edition. No doubt Sony the pre bake the cease and desist orders for anyone trying to third party a coloured button.

@LiamCroft What should we do to have Pushsquare write prices in euros too?

@Luigia no, its that we have tryhards like myself who know Scuf and BB crumble within a few months and prefer to buy genuine Sony products.

As someone who uses the Xbox Elite for my PC gaming, this could be very nice. Might have to hold for a sale though if it's above $150, which is likely will be.

$199/€199/£180
That’s if they don’t raise it $50 more lol

@Victor_Meldrew this is it sure. There’ll be not premium feelz just some weird yokes on the back getting in the way. Maybe the touchpad won’t be so gammy?

I wish they would do the easy to access modular analog sticks on there regular controllers as well. That would help when drift inevitably happens.

@GoodGame £180 I'm guessing

Yeah, I won't be getting one of these.

As I said in a previous comment on this very site, it's gonna cost at least 200$.
Can't go much higher because it has only 2 back paddles, and (apparently) no rubberized grip.
Can't go lower because it offers haptic triggers, removable thumb sticks, and because of Xbox Elite Series 2 controllers that have a MSRP of around 180$ / € (they seem to be equal these days). Speaking of Elite Series 2, at least right now there are even discounts on different sites, for example on Amazon.fr a new one sits at 142€. That alone will keep Sony from skyrocketing Edge's price.
Alas, I think I'm gonna wait for Dualsense Edge 2, mainly because of the 2 missing back paddles... a huge letdown on Sony's part... or part of a bigger plan to have something meaningful to add to the next revision...
Either way, it seems I'm gonna stick to my normal Dualsense quite a while longer.

Ooo, I can't wait a!!! A controller that's going to make me a pro gamer?............... Lol
A controller is a controller, doesn't matter how many attachment, buttons or paddles it has, don't waste your money to become a little bit better.
