A rare discount on the DualSense Edge here, letting you pick it up for $10 below RRP... Hopefully this is just the beginning, with even more discounts on this high-end gamepad to come.
The PDP Victrix Pro BFG is an excellent PS5 controller and is currently heavily discounted at Amazon. On top of remappable buttons and trigger locks, its modular design allows for a high level of customization.
The Nacon Revolution 5 Pro is another third-party option to consider now that it's been discounted by $50. It scored highly in our review thanks to its top-notch build quality and non-slip grips.

- Charging stations: DualSense charging station £23.98 at EE

My favorite deal so far is this incredible discount on the recently released Chroma Pearl DualSense Wireless Controller. This is the lowest price we've even seen on this colorway and an absolutely bargain for a great looking gamepad.
Another top deal right now at EE with this £12 discount on the Chroma Indigo variant. Again, this is the lowest price we've seen yet and well worth picking up if you're after this particular colorway.
The regular white DualSense at Amazon right now. Just bear in mind that last year we saw it hit at low as £38.99 at Amazon in November, so it might be worth holding off just in case.
This is a decent price cut on one of the coolest DualSense colorways, the shiny Sterling Silver. It's only a few pounds above it's lowest-ever price, making it a great deal if you want a controller that stands out from the crowd.
The PDP Victrix Pro BFG is also discounted in the UK, letting you save £40 on the pro controller. Compatible with PS5 and PS4, this option excels thanks to its customizable modular layout, plus other premium features.
This is a little discount on the DualSense Edge and one that's been available for a few months. It's worth watching this listing closely for further deals.
