There's rarely been a better time than now to shop for a new, or spare, DualSense Wireless Controller. That's because right now, Amazon US is hosting significant discounts for the PlayStation 5 controller well ahead of this year's Black Friday gaming deals.

Even better, if you want something a bit more vibrant than the standard black or white colors, most of the gamepad's alternate colorways - including Volcanic Red, Nova Pink, Galactic Purple, and even Gray Camouflage - have also had their prices slashed. They've all dropped to just $49.99 at Amazon, meaning you're getting a slightly better deal for the special colorways which are typically $5 pricier than the standard pad at $74.99.

It's not quite a record-low price for the DualSense Wireless Controller, but it's close. Back in August, the PS5 pad briefly dropped to $49. Right now, then, the discounts are just a buck away from its lowest ever price. This is easily among the best Black Friday PS5 deals we've seen so far, and well worth taking advantage of soon as stock tends to dry up fast when it comes to first-party hardware. A handful of these pads have also been discounted over at Best Buy, so do check out that retailer in case Amazon runs out of stock.
