I remember when the ps4 came out, the controllers were $60. Why are they more expensive now?
DualSense is on sale in some (North American) online shops right now. If you’re in the United States, Target has them for $50.
Because your dollars are worth less than they were 10 years ago.
You’ve had 31% inflation in that time. $60 then is ~$78 now.
I’ve seen DualShock and DualSense prices drop by $15-20 USD during holiday sales. Can you hold out until December?
Satan. With energy prices going up, and a whole lot of new faces for the fires, he had to make up the difference somehow.
Honestly OP, I’d look into third party controllers. I’m assuming you’re gaming on PS, but if you’re gaming on PC, 8bitdo makes bang for buck xinput controllers. I got the pro (I think, has paddles round back) and it’s held up through Rocket League, Elden Ring, Fifa, and For Honor. No drift issues just yet.
I am actually a PC gamer. I have been wanting to get a ps5 controller for a while now but not willing to pay the price. I have looked at third party controllers like the gulikit King Kong 2 pro. But from what I’ve seen, most of the controllers are in the Xbox layout (the joysticks are off set) and I prefer the Playstation layout.
