DualSense Edge controller: Sony announces outlandish pricing and release date for premium PlayStation 5 wireless controller

[Key]

This is actually quite reasonable. Has anyone seen the prices of Scuf and Hex gaming pro controllers? Maybe the writer just isn't up to speed on these things. Comparing a CORE model elite controller (that came out for last gen consoles) that's over 2 years old to something brand new and next/current gen is just stupid.

I'm not Rich and it'll be in front of my PS5 Soon enough. So many whiners and the sad part is that yeah, y'all don't do much actual fact checking. It's in line with Xbox and better pricing than Scuf. I think some of y'all need to give up your PS5 and go to the Xbox side. Buh bye, have a nice day.🤦

They couldn't even be bothered to provide a charging dock with it, lol. It lets you run your cable through the case, how nice. It really is outlandish.

You'd leave your $200 controller on the dock to collect dirt and dust? That's why it comes with the case, one that lets you charge it while inside, you know, like a dock...I swear some people find the most stupid thing to complain about.

"I swear some people find the 'most stupid' thing to complain about"

Oh, you mean like how you're complaining about how this person chooses to charge their controller?? Grow up, tiny man. Your house must be insanely dirty if your controllers collect so much dust during their charging allotment that you rag on someone else fpr daring to leave their controller exposed to the air. Sony fanboys really haven't changed, have they? Keep paying into their greedy pockets.

Outlandish price... Lol. I was expecting $200 and it's $200... Comparable to Scuf and actually PS branded. I will gladly pay $200.

Somy sure does love having blind followers such as yourself. Keep lining their greedy little pockets.

As a business they are incredibly scummy. Nickle and diming you at each and every turn. I don't feel like educating you, I took the time to educate myself on this topic. Which you can do, too. All it takes is a little search about their greed and shady business tactics involving the PS brand.

They can't even be bothered to give this lame controller to Canadians at first. Though by the sound of it, it would be a $250 touch. I bought my SCUF for $80 less than that. Comparable my fuckin' a**.

Your last comment is such BS, I just looked at that site and they have higher prices for all their ps5 controllers, which completely invalidates your argument. It can get as high as $346.89 with all the stuff added on and that's not including shipping or the case if you want to get that as well. The cheapest ps5 controller is $249 and again, that's not including shipping or adding on the case.

As far as being a scummy business or w/e, news flash, that's how all major companies are run, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Samsung, Verizon, I could keep going but it would be a long list. It's a machine we all feed into no matter what you do or don't buy, so getting all high and mighty about not buying a Sony product because it's "Overpriced" while paying for a similar product from a different company is ridiculous. Get off your high horse and get over yourself.

I don't get these overpriced comments either. The website you yourself listed has comparable prices(I looked), people will pay hundreds of dollars on mice, keyboards, headsets etc, but god forbid Sony make a controller with features on it and sell it for $200. Do you get mad at people buying a $2000 phone every year? Why the hell do you care what people spend their money on when it has no effect on your day to day life.

I'm willing to admit when I'm wrong/made a mistake. I Looked at the SCUF site again they do have a $200 version of the ps5 controller. I didn't see that on my original browse. However, that's without a case so still more expensive than the Sony package (If you care about getting the case).
