DualSense Edge: Sony reveals the release date and price of its pro controller, it is particularly salty

Formalized this summer, during gamescom 2022, the DualSense Edge has just been the subject of a major update from Sony Interactive Entertainment. In a big post on the PlayStation Blog, the Japanese manufacturer reveals the release date of its Pro controller for the PS5, but also its price. We will therefore have to wait until January 26, 2023 and €239,99 to get our hands on it. A fairly high note, especially when compared to the Xbox Elite Series 2 from Microsoft "which only costs" €179,99. In truth, Sony Interactive Entertainment aligns itself with the prices of manufacturers such as SCUF Gaming, which offers its SCUF Reflex (small success that we tested here) at around 210/250€. Only problem, the price of the DualSense Pro can quickly climb, since it is specified that the replaceable joystick modules will be sold 24.99 €. This raises serious questions about the commercial competitiveness of the product. For the rest, the DualSense Pro does pretty much the same thing as the others, namely integrating paddle buttons at the back of the controller, interchanging the joystick caps, having a grip at the handles and leaving with a carrying case. 

Pre-orders for the controller and replaceable joystick modules will begin this Tuesday, October 25, 2022.
