Posted October 25: Pre-Order the PlayStation 5 DualSense Edge Controller in Canada
Level up your controller at Best Buy, where the new PlayStation 5 DualSense Edge Wireless Controller is now available to pre-order in Canada.
Originally unveiled on August 23, the DualSense Edge is a new high-performance wireless controller designed by Sony for the PS5, with premium features including re-mappable controls, multiple profiles and interchangeable stick caps. The DualSense Edge retains the same shape as the standard DualSense controller and comes with six stick caps and four back buttons to customize the feel of the controller, along with a braided USB-C cable and carrying case.
For reference, the $269.99 price is much higher than the generic DualSense Wireless Controller, as Sony is positioning the DualSense Edge as a direct competitor to Microsoft's Xbox Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller. In addition, pre-orders are available from other retailers like Amazon.ca and GameStop, but Best Buy has the better track record for Day One deliveries.
Pre-orders are scheduled to ship on January 26, 2023 and the PlayStation 5 DualSense Edge Wireless Controller qualifies for free shipping from Best Buy.

View allThen double down (fingers crossed) on a 20x day. If you get offer.
That should bring price down to about 250-350.
Reasonable.
AND RFD effect.
If you wanna dump it you can get your money back. Someone will take it for 250.
I loved my PSVR, but I feel like “been there, done that” with VR at this point.
Also, it’s pricey!
As for it always being a fringe technology, I disagree 100%. Always is a very long time. People talk about it like 3d tvs, but anyone who has experienced good VR knows it is orders of magnitude more immersive and exciting.
It’s just going to take more time for the tech to reach that sweet spot of price, specs, wirelenessness, and good content. Maybe that’s 10 years from now but it’s not never.
Even mainstream VR gaming systems and add ons have been around since the 1990s from Sega and Nintendo.
VR has always been and always will be a fringe technology.
Looking forward to VR1 bundles cleared out at $50 retail.
Have a preorder with Amazon too just in case.
Its this a price error? Will they honour it?
I don't know exactly how Amazon logistics operate on preorders, but they aren't the most reliable.
This isn't for people who just want to get into VR for cheap (the Quest would be better for that). This is mostly for people who already have a PS5 and want VR too and for that it's not overpriced at all, especially considering what you get.
$750!?
In combination with a $650+ console.
Not backwards compatible (at least yet), and only a very few, very meh games at release.
So $1400 entry price just to have a go.
Madness.
I've not yet tried VR, but I'm really wanting to give it a try, but for me personally, it's a gamble, as I might just not enjoy it or use it as much.
Quest 2 looks to be still the clear choice, though unfortunately they jacked up the price recently too.
I only want to have a go at Beatsaber and the climbing one. Maybe Phasmaphobia too.
My only concern is that if Sony decides the returns aren’t there this time around, they might shelve it the way MS did with the kinect.
How much time did videogames, pc, cellphones, smart phones and watches take to become main stream?
10 years is not that much inmho
If it gets PC support, I'm keeping it without a doubt
I had high hopes that PSVR 2 would be the moment VR would hit mass adoption, but over the last month I feel like Sony has dropped the ball again. The price is clearly too high, and the content isn’t there. Where is the racing game, the pilot game, the Astrobot, the Alyx, the Beat Saber?
All they needed was a couple of killer apps and to not price the peripheral more than the console, and I think it would have greatly rushed along mass adoption. But with low sales I think mass adoption of VR will get pushed back a few more years.
This is very nichy. Few people are into VR because very have actually tried it. There is a huge difference of user base for regular ps5 and Vr users.
It is a very expensive gadget, more expensive than the PS5.
I really wanted to preorder it but the games are minimal and although I love Horizon it appears it is less than 10 hours. So here I would be spending 1k for a 10 h game.
Twenty years from now I suspect VR will be a much bigger part of the fabric of life than it is now - it's on the path to be much nicer than a TV for solo passive viewing and it's far better for interactive media - but getting there will be a slow process. I don't know if this will push it or if it's still five years too early.
Cost aside, when something is good there is typically excitement attached to that. It has been almost non existant in terms of talk on this.
I think sony is going to *really* have a tough time with this.
not only is VR "old" in terms of curiosity of the tech ( almost everyone has tried it ), many of us have actually purchased hardware in the past such as PSVR1 or any of the meta devices. This is a double negative. No real excitement for the technology and the realization that for most people their hardware is collecting dust now.
Furthermore, the optics of the extreme cost, lack of software and NO backwards compatibility ( the hell? ) will make adoption really low.
Maybe cyberpunk and or destiny 2 will?
So i agree, outside there is no use. But to be fair, I felt the difference being untethered from Rift S to Quest 2. So still making up my mind with the PSVR2.
im also not a fan of meta/fb so wont buy any of their stuff

I do struggle to get motivated to play single-player games.
We probably have one more generation after this for it to mature as a technology, when you're getting no pixelation or lag at all and the hardware can power high-fidelity realistic titles, but this is a big step forward and I'm excited to see what happens in the space.
Other than that I can't see plunking down almost $1000 for this thing. Madness.
We can blame inflation and exchange rates for the $50 difference.
Yeah it had some. Firewall: Zero Hour was supposed to be one of the best. Crisis Vrigade was a lot of fun multiplayer, and Arizona Sunshine was alright too.
