The Sony DualSense is easily my favorite controller this gen. While not enough studios make use of its fancy haptic tech, I can't imagine playing some of my favorite PS5 games like Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart and Astro Bot without it. Sadly, this cool tech comes at a price. There are a ton of more affordable third-party alternatives but Sony's haptic ownership would mean doing without one of my favorite features of the PS5. In this case, if you need a second controller, or need a replacement for a bad case of the stick drift, buying a second DualSense is a pretty costly endeavor.
That was until Sony rolled out its official Black Friday PS5 deals, and now you can pick up a white DualSense for $54 at Amazon, $27% off its MSRP of $74.99. This isn't the best discount of its kind for the official gamepad. However, ever since Sony hiked up the prices it has gotten harder to find the DualSense below the $70 mark. That makes any discount, even one that puts it just below the $60 range, worthwhile.
