We're still a fortnight out from the official start of Black Friday, but the deals have alre�🍸�ady begun to pop up. 

The DualSense, the PS5's innovative official ga🐼mepad, has dropped back down to its lowest-ever price in the US of . The controller is , and at both retailers, you can get the🀅 full suite of colorways and designs at the same price. 

I'm still waiting for the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:DualSense Edge to get a proper discount, but until then, this early 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Black Friday PS5 deal will absolutely suffice. The DualSense might be the stock controller for the platform, but it's up there with the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best PS5 controllers for sure thanks to its haptic feedb൩ack and adaptive trigger resistance. 

Unfortunately, these features do result in a higher price than most stock controllers as a DualSense will usuaꦡlly set you back $69.99. At times like these, when it comes down to the price of a DualShock 4 in its heyday, it's well worth investing in.

If you're a collector (like yours truly), this is a great chance🌟 to grab another🦩 DualSense color before the swarms of shoppers on Black Friday make stock shortages an issue.

Save $20 - The DualSense has returned to its lo𒉰west-ever price in the US, which means you can currently get it for almost 30% cheaper. Getting game-changing haptic feedback and adaptive triggers for that price is a total bargain - especially when you r🐽emember you're getting this for the cost of a DualShock 4. 

Buy it if: 

✅ You want haptic feedback and trigger resistance
✅ You need to replace a launch model DualSense
✅ You aren't interested in the DualSense Edge

Don't buy it if: 

❌ You play multiplayer games and you can afford a pro controller

It must be said, the DualSense has come under fire plenty of times since its release with the PS5 in 2020. Particularly with the first batch꧃ of controllers, there were widespread reports of stick drift issues and unreliable springs in the gamepad's triggers. I encountered both of these, and I'll never forget the moment I played Kena Bridge of Spirits and I physically felt the springs in my triggers snap. 

Luckily, as time has gone on, there have been fewer and fewer reports of these issues. It does seem as though they were exasperated by pandemic era manufacturing issues, and newer batches have ironed out the problems. Annoyingly, what hasn't improved is the conꦬtroller's battery life, which frustrates a lot of players. 

If you're in that camp though, buying a second DualSense to keep in your rotation might do you wonders as you won't need to tether yourself to a charging ca༺ble while playi🥂ng quite so often. 

Should you buy a DualSense Wireless Controller before Black Friday?

I'd be a little shocked if t❀he DualSense came down in price any lower than this for Black Friday, especially since it's now experiencing an early deal. If you're sick of having to charge the one controller you use, you want to play couch co-op games, or you're seeking a replacement for a faulty model, buying a DualSense with the above deal before Black Friday is advisable. 

Of course, there are plenty of other PS5 controllers out there, and the third-party ones with official licensing are all great options. Annoyingly, you won't get haptic feedback or adaptive triggers with these, as I recently discovered that Sony prohibits these features for use in third-party products. Nonetheless, 🃏澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:how controllers get their official licensing is a lot more than a purchased watermark - there are loads of review processes from Sony itself that ensure high-quality standards. What's more, these options all have to use Play꧑Station's own chipset to win their license. 

If you play multiplayer🦩 games, or you waꦏnt a bit more bang for your buck when it comes to customisation features, waiting until Black Friday to see if you can get a pro controller on the cheap might be a good option for you. 

That said𒐪, having a spare DualSense lying around is never really a bad thing.
