The latest PS5 controller takes the beloved DualSense and turns it up a notch. Here's our PS5 DualSense Edge review for those who want to live on the edge.

I recently decided to invest in a new DualSense, Pulse headset, and console plates for my PS5. All Midnight Black. Love the blacked out look.
Does this mean we will soon hear about "ALL BLACK COVER PLATES" for the PS5 & Pro models?

Even accounting for the weak yen, that seems a bit excessive. It’s even stranger considering the rumors of a PS5 Pro possibly launching by the end of the year, which means that in Japan, it could cost significantly more than $600, probably close to $700 - a high price for a console.
The price increase is excessive. If the value of the yen is to blame, then I would expect the console price to be adjusted to match the price of the $500 disc PS5 at which would be ¥71916.58. Instead Sony added an additional $50 USD raising the total to ¥79,000.
I'm not sure if they have to pay extra fees to import the console but the PS5 has had so many revisions that Sony should be able to keep the price inline with the US price at this point. I believe part of this increase is because they can increase the price without worrying about any fallout.
Global inflation combined with Sony having such a large share of the console market they can do whatever they like and you will damn well accept it.
Xbox has a smaller share of the market(miniscule in japan) and still raised the price(twice this year) of the series X in japan...so everyone is doing whatever they like.
I’d like to see them try that shit in America. Xboxes will start to sell quiiiick!
Yet inflation fell in the last year in the United States. Though I’m not sure about Japan.
Sony just leaving it up to Nintendo at this point. PS5 obviously not gonna be a mainstream product over there. Xbox is not relevant.
Folks in the U.S. don’t understand that the U.S. had one of the lowest rates of inflation. It’s worse in almost every other country and the U.S. dollar is a lot stronger which makes imports even cheaper. I would love to see deflation but we’d need a recession and mass layoffs before that would happen,
Nooooo you do not want to see deflation that spells complete disaster for an economy. What you want is wages and growth to be consistently higher than inflation.
