It’s that time of year again. The bargain hunter’s nirvana. The sales extravaganza promises price cuts on everything from flat-screen TVs to holiday packages as well as air fryers and laptops. Of course, we’re talking about Black Friday.
So, now’s the time to start building your mental (or physical if you’re more type A) wishlist. Whether you’re shopping for yourself or you’re planning on ticking a few people off your Christmas gift list, it’s the best opportunity to make the most of your hard earned cash instead of paying full whack across the board.
Black Friday or not, it’s fair to say PlayStation discounts are few and far between. Alongside the Xbox Series X and Nintendo Switch, Sony’s latest console, the PS5, is one of the hottest on the market. So, it’s no wonder it’s rare to see deals on the console itself or any of its accessories. Until now.
Ahead of this year’s sales event (which officially starts on November 29), Very has slashed the price of the DualSense Wireless Controller from £64.99 to £54.95. Though a tenner may not seem like a massive difference, since it’s one of the rare occasions when you can cop anything PlayStation-related for less than the RRP, it’s an opportunity that’s not to be missed.
Lauded as the console’s best controller yet, it makes you feel fully immersed in the game. From haptic feedback, meaning mini-vibrations which represent the likes of rain droplets or gunshots, to adaptive triggers, which allow you to vary levels of force and tension – for example, hitting the brakes on a car or pulling back a bow and arrow – it adds a whole extra dimension which you don’t get with its predecessors.
Beyond the enhanced interaction, it also features a built-in mic, motion sensor, an integrated speaker and, most importantly, comfortable grip. Overall, it takes the game-playing experience to the next level.
So, whether you need to upgrade your old wired controller or are treating your kids to an extra player option, now’s the time to invest when you can get it for less than £55. Get it before it’s gone.

PlayStation 5 DualSense Wireless Controller
Why improve on perfection? Sony’s PS5 controller is such a massive step up from previous PlayStation controllers that they almost feel like they’ve been made by different companies. It actually sits comfortably in your hands, the battery life is decent and – of course – the haptic feedback is out of this world.
Using precise vibrations to simulate the feeling of everything from raindrops to slamming your enemies with an axe, it truly feels like a next-gen controller and immerses the player that little bit deeper in whichever game they’re playing.
