Here’s why the deal isn’t getting any better

If you go back to Black Friday last year, you might remember that DualSense controllers were actually $5 cheaper, $49 during the sale season.

There’s a good reason they’re not that cheap this year, and that’s simply because Sony quietly raised the price this year by $5. But it’s not uncommon for retailers like Walmart and Best Buy to undercut the price, so we’ll also keep an eye out for any additional discounts.
