PlayStation Universe: "In our DualSense Edge controller review we discover that Sony absolutely sticks the landing with its first attempt at pro controller - deftly building upon the resoundingly sound foundation lain down by its now entry level DualSense controller."
Playstation writes: "The latest PS5 accessories get a new look with the Midnight Black Collection – bringing the galaxy-inspired Midnight Black colorway to the PlayStation Portal remote player, DualSense Edge wireless controller, Pulse Elite wireless headset, and Pulse Explore wireless earbuds."
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?
Push Square writes: "Sony has published a new PlayStation Accessories app for PC that allows DualSense Edge owners to access the entire suite of features the high-end controller has to offer."
VGC writes: "Both the standard and digital models are going up by around $90."
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.
It is gorgeous, but I'm going to need a bit of a sale before I can justify jumping in.
No hall effects and terrible battery life = failure
I was on the fence about getting one. I had it preordered, but ended up cancelling. Couldn't justify it at the moment, especially since I'm dropping a fair penny on the PS VR2 next month.
No doubt it's probably amazing, and maybe one day I will get one, but most of my competitive gaming is done on the PC where my PS5 is primarily the grander, single player experiences. I don't feel that the benefits of the controller are warranted for me personally.
To those getting it, I hope you enjoy it.
To be fair, other controllers are using old age rumble and haptics. Not to mention nowhere near as much sensors, voice/sound input/output, the touch pad, basically powered triggers, and the light bar. The base PS5 controller is one of the, if not the, most advanced controllers you can buy. Now you most of that get…. Better. I’m honestly not surprised or disappointed by the battery life. People are trying to compare controller to controller and consider the battery should be comparable when the features are not. When you play a PS5 game that uses the features it’s not even in the same state as others. Playing Astros for the first time is enough to make even the most jaded gamer say wait… they are onto something.
