PlayStation Direct's Days of Play sale is finally here, and it's offering some world-class discounts on premium PlayStation hardware.

Case in point, the high-end (and normally extremely pricey) DualSense Edge controller is currently available at $169.99 (was $199.99) at PlayStation Direct US. You can expect this saving for both the White and Midnight Black variants - but sadly, no dice for the 30th Anniversary limited edition. Booo!

Over in the UK, you've got a slightly less impressive - but still very worthwhile - discount. At PlayStation Direct UK, you can currently grab the DualSense Edge for £174.99 (was £199.99). However, we think it's worth checking out alternative retailers in the UK here. Particularly at Currys, where the controller is just £169. Check the deal blocks below for more information.

It's the best discount we've ever seen for the DualSense Edge in the US, with PlayStation Direct taking it down to a price worth shouting about. It's a fantastic premium controller, but one that I usually find tough to recommend at its retail price of 200 bucks. Now, though, it's that bit more enticing.

The Days of Play sale may be the spotlight here, but the DualSense Edge is actually cheapest at UK retailer Currys - undercutting Sony by around £6. A small difference to be sure, but we think it's always worth going for the cheapest option.

While I was fairly harsh in scoring the DualSense Edge in my review, that largely came down to its price versus a regular DualSense controller and the additional features the premium pad provides for that jump in price.

At this discount, though, I'm much more comfortable in recommending the DualSense Edge as it is most certainly one of the best PS5 controllers on the market. Build quality is a noticeable step up, for one, and the addition of two 'Function' switches for quick button profile switching is a blessing.

I also love that the DualSense Edge comes with its own carry case and a set of accessories, including swappable rear bumpers for additional inputs, a set of thumbstick caps, and a cable lock for those who prefer a wired connection.
