FULL STORY
======================================================================Sony 
has dropped the price of the DualSense Edge controller It's now 10 cheaper 
than its original price at 199.99 It was quietly announced alongside the new 
Midnight Black collection 

There's some great news for PS5 owners in the UK who've been thinking of 
picking up the premium DualSense Edge controller. 

Yesterday, on January 7, Sony announced new Midnight Black versions of some 
of its best PS5 hardware, including the PlayStation Portal , Pulse Explore 
earbuds, Pulse Elite gaming headset and - crucially - the DualSense Edge. 

In that same PlayStation Blog post , Sony also quietly confirmed that the 
DualSense Edge is receiving a permanent price drop in the UK, taking it from 
209.99 down to the new, more rounded price of 199.99. According to the blog 
post, this "applies to the original white version" and the new Midnight Black 
variant. It also brings it in line with the US price of $199.99 which has 
remained the same. 

It's a very small price drop on the face of it, to be sure, but I think that 
dropping a product below 200 is actually pretty significant. It's like the 
difference between 5' 11" and 6' - there's a virtual chasm between the two. 

If that's enough to get you to pull the trigger finally, you should know that 
the new price has already gone into effect at PlayStation Direct as well as 
Argos in the UK. This isn't the case at all retailers, however, with the 
likes of Currys and Game stocking the white DualSense Edge at its original 
209.99 price point. Avoid those for now if you can. 

As for the Midnight Black DualSense Edge, pre-orders are set to go live on 
January 16 and will be launching on February 20. And thankfully, I have a 
feeling these won't be snapped up as quickly as the DualSense Edge 20th 
Anniversary Edition which was virtually impossible to find after its initial 
pre-order run last year. You might also like... Meta suggests users buy its
