The PS5 DualSense controller is less than £40 for Black Friday 2023
Pick up a second wireless controller on the cheap with these incredible PS5 DualSense price slashes, which will make playing co-op games a breeze.
The PS5 may have just reached its third birthday, but the great co-op games that you’re able to play on it keep on coming. That’s why picking up a second PS5 Wireless DualSense Controller is always a worthy endeavour, especially when you can pick it up at a significant discount as part of a sale. It's also the perfect companion to your PS5 Slim pre-order. Luckily, we’re now deep into Black Friday 2023 and several online retailers have done exactly that.
A standard PS5 DualSense Wireless controller would typically set you back £59.99 – not too far off the price of a new-release AAA game. However, in honour of Black Friday, Smyths Toy Store has lowered the cost of the White edition to just £39.99. This offer is currently available for both pick-up and home delivery, meaning you don’t even need to leave the comfort of your own home to take advantage.
If you want to spice up the look of your PS5 gaming sessions, however, online retailer eBuyer has lowered the cost of the coloured DualSense PS5 wireless controllers to the same price, just £39.99. This is an even better deal given that these special-edition gamepads are typically priced slightly higher than the White edition at £64.99. As such, any PlayStation gamer who picks up the Cosmic Red PS5 DualSense controller will be saving a not too shabby £24.99 on the usual cost.
Pass to play
While anyone who picks up a PS5 console receives a White DualSense out of the box, playing co-op games such as It Takes Two, Sackboy: A Big Adventure and Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands via split-screen is impossible without picking up a spare. It’s worth it, too, seeing as that unlike its Xbox equivalent, the DualSense controller aims to immerse players in a way not previously possible on PS4.
PSVR 2 is already losing to the Meta Quest 2 in the VR headset battleEvery DualSense controller comes packed with new sensory features such as haptic feedback, which is far superior to the standard rumble vibration seen elsewhere. If it rains in game or a character takes footsteps, odds are all of this will be convincingly relayed to your hands thanks to the DualSense’s haptic feedback. Then there’s the adaptive triggers, which especially come into effect during FPS games where pulling the trigger can have different types of tension depending on the gun you’re using.
It's unlike the price of a DualSense PS5 wireless controller will drop any lower than £39.99 following Black Friday. That’s why, if you have plans to play co-op games with your friends or family members either during or after the festive season, we’d say to jump on these limited-time deals from eBuyer and Smyths Toy Store.
