PlayStation DualSense Edge Wireless Controller Gets Its First-Ever Discount, Only While Supplies Last
For the first time since its 2023 release, the pro-level PS5 controller is available at a lower price of just $169.
Sony's PlayStation 5 is no stranger to making huge waves in the gaming world. From the enormous lines both online and in person for the actual console when it debuted in 2020 to the release of the first professional level wireless controller for the PS5 — the DualSense Edge — in 2023, the PlayStation 5 has found new ways to stay at the top of the gaming mountain.
See at Amazon
The latest surprise? That DualSense Edge wireless controller, which has stubbornly held its $200 price for over 2 years now, is actually on sale. It's just $169 at Amazon right now, and when they say 'limited-time sale,' we tend to believe this one could be exceptionally limited before the DualSense Edge returns to its original price.
Good, Better, Best
The controllers that came with the previous iterations of the PlayStation were, well, perfectly fine. But when the PS5 dropped during the holiday shopping season of 2020, the new DualSense controllers were all the rage. They brought haptic feedback and adaptive triggers to PS gaming for the first time, along with a built-in microphone and speaker for in-game voice chat and a more immersive gaming experience.
Just 3 years later, Sony decided to up the ante yet again by dropping the DualSense Edge, aimed at pro-level gamers or gamers who aspire to play with the pros. With the Edge came customizable controls (including two brand-new back paddles) that let you remap buttons and save different profiles for different games, adjustable trigger stops, and replaceable stick modules so a worn-out or damaged controller could be salvaged.
Among the many advantages of going with the DualSense Edge and not one of the third-party controllers that say they're professional level? The DualSense Edge is made by Sony and designed by Sony to interact flawlessly with the PS5, which is something the third-party controllers often have issues with.
At Long Last, a Sale
The reviews for the DualSense Edge were overwhelmingly positive, but many did call out the initial $200 price. And that price has been tenacious, defying every sale and holiday special since its debut. With the original DualSense controller still actively being sold and for a considerably lower price, it was only a matter of time before Sony decided to give a boost to its top-line PS5 controller.
That time is now. Amazon's limited-time 15% off sale on the DualSense Edge has dropped the price to just $169, just in time for the end of school when many gamers will have far more grind time on their hands. As with all of Amazon's limited-time deals, there's no telling when this one will vanish, so don't hesitate!

Drug maker Indivior to abandon London stock market for the US
Drug maker Indivior has announced plans to delist its shares from the London Stock Exchange (LSE), marking the latest company to abandon the UK market for the US. However, the LSE welcomes Anglo-American's platinum spin-off Valterra after becoming independent from the mining giant. Indivior's exit comes after the company moved its primary listing to the US's Nasdaq index last year. It said cancelling the secondary listing in London eliminates 'cost and complexity' and better reflects the business – with more than 80% of its revenues generated in the US. It also said liquidity on the Nasdaq now 'far outweighs' that of the LSE with a greater level of trading. The US-based pharmaceutical firm makes prescription medicines to treat opioid addiction, and has a market capitalisation of £1.2 billion. 'A single primary listing on Nasdaq best reflects the profile of Indivior's business,' chairman David Wheadon said. 'We appreciate the support received from shareholders for this initiative and look forward to capitalising on the expected benefits of this move, including reductions in cost and complexity.' The LSE faced the largest exodus of companies since the global financial crisis in 2024, according to EY analysis. There were 88 companies to delist or transfer their primary listing from the main market – the most since 2009. At the same time, the LSE struggled to attract as many new companies to fill the gaps – with 18 new listings in total last year. Nevertheless, Indivior's exit, which will take effect from July 25, comes as Valterra Platinum makes its debut on the London market. Anglo American spun off its platinum business into the new entity, which has become the world's most valuable producer of the metal. Valterra will have its secondary listing on the LSE, with its primary on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. Duncan Wanblad, Anglo American's chief executive, said: 'Valterra Platinum has been a major part of the company for many years but now is the right time for it to optimise its value creation prospects on an independent path – it's an outstanding business and team and I have every confidence that Valterra Platinum will thrive as a leader in the global platinum group metals industry.'

China Accuses US Of Violating Trade Pact—Rejects Trump's Allegation
Chinese authorities on Monday accused the U.S. of violating a recent trade pact that both agreed to in Geneva last month, as they dismissed President Donald Trump's allegation about Beijing breaching the agreement, a move that could signal a further escalation in trade tensions between the two countries, which could potentially jeopardize last month's tariff truce. China's Commerce Ministry accused the U.S. of violating a trade deal agreed in Geneva by imposing ... More additional chip restrictions and canceling Chinese student visas. In a press briefing, a Chinese Commerce Ministry spokesperson dismissed Trump's comments accusing China of violating the agreement, saying Beijing has worked 'to strictly implement and actively safeguard the Geneva deal.' The spokesperson noted that China had acted in accordance with the deal to cancel or suspend 'relevant tariffs and non-tariff measures' it had taken as retaliation against the U.S. government's reciprocal tariffs. The spokesperson then accused the U.S. of introducing ' a number of discriminatory restrictive measures against China' after the talks, citing expanded export controls on AI chips and other chip-building technology. The official also criticized the U.S. government's crackdown on Chinese student visas, saying these actions violated the consensus reached between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping in a phone call on January 17. The spokesperson then warned that if the U.S. continues to take actions that damage China, Beijing will 'take resolute and forceful measures to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests.' In a post on his Truth Social platform on Friday, Trump said: 'China, perhaps not surprisingly to some, HAS TOTALLY VIOLATED ITS AGREEMENT WITH US,' without specifying how it had done so. The president then signalled that the U.S. may retaliate against this alleged non-compliance, saying: 'So much for being Mr. NICE GUY!' In his post, the president claimed his tariffs had put China in 'grave economic danger' and he made a 'FAST DEAL' in Geneva, 'in order to save them from what I thought was going to be a very bad situation.'
