Beat the DualSense price rise with discounts on a wide range of models
Save before it's too late
Sony has just hiked the price of its DualSense Wireless Controller up by $5 / £5, taking its standard retail price from $69.99 / £59.99 to $74.99 / £64.99. It's certainly not ideal if you're a budget-conscious gamer but, luckily, many retailers are currently offering models for well below that new asking price.
The real star of the show right now is the seriously shiny Sterling Silver DualSense, which looks great and is on sale for just $62.50 (was $74.99) at Walmart. You can pick up the eye-catching Cosmic Red DualSense for only $62.50 (was $74.99) at Walmart too. These $12.49 discounts make the Sterling Silver and Cosmic Red models even cheaper than the standard white and are among some of the lowest prices we have ever seen for these colorways.
If you're just after the standard white model, you can pick it up for just $64.99 right now at Walmart. Although not labelled as a conventional discount per se, it's still $10 below the new asking price and beating the cost at other retailers.
