Sony’s PlayStation 5 is no stranger to making huge waves in the gaming world. From the enormous lines both online and in person for the actual console when it debuted in 2020 to the release of the first professional level wireless controller for the PS5 — the DualSense Edge — in 2023, the PlayStation 5 has found new ways to stay at the top of the gaming mountain.

The latest surprise? That DualSense Edge wireless controller, which has stubbornly held its $200 price for over 2 years now, is actually on sale. It’s just $169 at Amazon right now, and when they say “limited-time sale,” we tend to believe this one could be exceptionally limited before the DualSense Edge returns to its original price.
Good, Better, Best
The controllers that came with the previous iterations of the PlayStation were, well, perfectly fine. But when the PS5 dropped during the holiday shopping season of 2020, the new DualSense controllers were all the rage. They brought haptic feedback and adaptive triggers to PS gaming for the first time, along with a built-in microphone and speaker for in-game voice chat and a more immersive gaming experience.
Just 3 years later, Sony decided to up the ante yet again by dropping the DualSense Edge, aimed at pro-level gamers or gamers who aspire to play with the pros. With the Edge came customizable controls (including two brand-new back paddles) that let you remap buttons and save different profiles for different games, adjustable trigger stops, and replaceable stick modules so a worn-out or damaged controller could be salvaged.
Among the many advantages of going with the DualSense Edge and not one of the third-party controllers that say they’re professional level? The DualSense Edge is made by Sony and designed by Sony to interact flawlessly with the PS5, which is something the third-party controllers often have issues with.
At Long Last, a Sale
The reviews for the DualSense Edge were overwhelmingly positive, but many did call out the initial $200 price. And that price has been tenacious, defying every sale and holiday special since its debut. With the original DualSense controller still actively being sold and for a considerably lower price, it was only a matter of time before Sony decided to give a boost to its top-line PS5 controller.
That time is now. Amazon’s limited-time 15% off sale on the DualSense Edge has dropped the price to just $169, just in time for the end of school when many gamers will have far more grind time on their hands. As with all of Amazon’s limited-time deals, there’s no telling when this one will vanish, so don’t hesitate!
