- Sony has lowered the price of the DualSense Edge controller
- It’s now £10 cheaper than its original price of £199.99
- It was quietly announced alongside the new Midnight Black collection.
There’s good news for PS5 owners in the UK who have been thinking about picking up the premium DualSense Edge controller.
Yesterday, January 7, Sony announced new Midnight Black versions of some of its best PS5 hardware, including the PlayStation Portal, the Pulse Explore headset, the Pulse Elite gaming headset, and most importantly, the DualSense Edge.
In that same PlayStation blog post, Sony also quietly confirmed that the DualSense Edge is receiving a permanent price drop in the UK, dropping it from £209.99 to the new, more rounded price of £199.99. According to the blog post, this “applies to the original white version” and the new Midnight Black variant. It also aligns it with the US price of $199.99, which remains the same.
It’s a very small price drop at first glance, to be sure, but I think dropping a product below £200 is actually quite significant. It’s like the difference between 5′ 11″ and 6′: there is a virtual chasm between the two.
If that’s enough for you to finally pull the trigger, you should know that the new price has already gone into effect on PlayStation Direct and at Argos in the UK. However, this is not the case at all retailers, with companies such as Currys and Game offering the white DualSense Edge at its original price of £209.99. Avoid them for now if you can.
As for the Midnight Black DualSense Edge, pre-orders will begin on January 16 and will launch on February 20. And luckily, I have a feeling they won’t sell out as quickly as the 20th Anniversary Edition of the DualSense Edge. which was virtually impossible to find after its initial pre-order last year.
