When The Last of Us Limited Edition DualSense was announced by Sony on March 6, 2025, I knew that I had to get one. I’m like that with (almost) anything related to the series, and even though the design seemed a little underwhelming at first, there was never any doubt that it would end up in my DualSense PS5 controller collection.
While ‘big fan of thing wants the latest merch of said thing’ isn’t a showstopper of a concept, the allure of The Last of Us special editions and gear is always strong in the fanbase, and each release almost always sells out. Look at The Last of Us Complete - a re-packaged double pack of the existing PS5 versions of the series’ two games re-released, surely, to coincide with The Last of Us season 2 on HBO - the physical edition of which sold out in mere hours, maybe minutes even though most buyers have surely played both games before.
