sh4d0wzcs Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 So tempting, its roughly $350 AUD though.. might have to wait and see if sony release a backbutton attachment like they did for the PS4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyAerith Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 But will the thumbsticks not wear out after six months? If so it is a steal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Infected Elite Posted June 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2021 looks dumb tbh. They just skin dualsense controllers and add a back button anyway. So you're overpaying for a used like new controller that once it fucks up, you can't just send to sony or return for a replacement at the point of purchase. no. thanks. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MandA60VISE Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 You could buy 5 brand new games with that much money. That's about half the cost of a PS5's base price. I could pay for all my groceries for two months for that much money. That's a third of my rent. That's a ludicrous amount of money just for a controller. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sepheroithisgod Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 That price is disgusting, I had a hard enough time convincing myself to pay an extra $5 for the red PS5 controller. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkirye22 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 I've never purchased one of such 'elite or improved versions' of legit PS controllers but know plenty of people who paid $200-300 for DS3's and DS4's. What most had were software issues, and hardware failing in a few months. Some companies were even forthcoming with warranties, repairs or replacement but those took months with shipping and they always broke in the end. Not to say OG Sony controllers are top notch quality in every regard but mine last years and so far I wasn't unlucky with stick drift. Matter of fact I never replaced my DS4 I got out of the box for my PS4 then PS4 Pro. And the price is beyond ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiCBZ Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 They look really cool, better than the standard white Dualsense, but the price is ridicolous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel6burgh Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 they can stick there $290 controller is what I think. Not unless it's rage proof with a 10 year no questions asked warranty and they throw in a tuggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JavaNext Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Aren't these just modded controllers? They look so cheap to me... And that price is beyond ridiculous for a third party controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieroluc Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 It's always interesting to see when these special controllers are available for purchase, but their price is steep. Certainly never something I would see myself personally buying, but I would say I get the logic of why people would want to buy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrBloodmoney Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 The PS5 already has an Ultra-Expensive, Elite-Style controller. It’s made by Sony, and you get one with the PS5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yowzagabowza Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 The "elite" features on these types of controllers aren't even elite anymore. It's all been done before. Custom mapping can be done on any controller via the console! The shells look like cheap plastic, like you'd see them for $5 in a bin at GameStop. At least the shiny ones do, anyway. I've also never liked controllers that don't have the correct emblems on the face buttons. Make it look so off-brand. I actually have a custom controller already from Colorware. It's just a regular old DualSense that they take apart and paint. It was $140, I think? And I don't even have a PS5 yet, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These days - without those for competitive play - it can't really be considered an elite controller.
