Will the controller walk out of my living room when it gets frustrated?

 

[Giallo Corsa]

You couldn't pay me to own that fugly thing.

I mean, for 45 bucks, it could still act as a spare joypad.

It still looks better than the Xbox lime coloured joypad or the God of war and Hogwarts Dualsense ones

[Danny Dudekisser]

That's worse than handing your friend the Gamestop controller with the broken analog stick. Absolutely hideous.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

 

[THE DUCK]

Horrific.

 

[That Damn Kid]

 

[Diseased Yak]

An abomination.

 

[Mibu no ookami]

Sold out

 

[simpatico]

I think you made a typo OP. That is a cringetroller

 

[Icymanipulator]

Looks tacky but for $40 I might pick one up

 

[semiconscious]

& this's related to lebron james how? just by calling it that? did he draw that shit? confused...

 

[LectureMaster]

& this's related to lebron james how? just by calling it that? did he draw that shit? confused...

It's claimed to be designed by him.

 

[semiconscious]

It's claimed to be designed by him.

'designed?' smh... hold onto your day job, lebron...

 

[PixelatedBeast]

That is hands down the ugliest piece of shit controller ive seen in a long time

Now way that's uglier than the rainbow colored xbox controllers.

 

[LordBlodgett]

That is one ugly controller

 

[chlorate]

Perfect for holiday toy drives and for your annoying little brother

 

[Mibu no ookami]

I think people have to understand that as awful as this controller looks and whatever you think about LeBron, it's a great marketing move.

You create these relationships with players, and it could turn into something where maybe the MVP of each league each year could get their own controller. These things will sell, and you then associate the sport and the culture with PlayStation.

They'll sell as just collectibles at some point. It's something Sony can do without having to make their own basketball game for example, but ultimately ramps up the sales of NBA 2K on PS5 rather than other platforms, and obviously, they're taking 30 percent of that and the MTX.

So again, marketing decisions like this are actually genius and can lead to millions in additional revenue. We'll see how they play it going forward, obviously, they sold this for less than the standard controller because they were struggling to get rid of inventory.

It also goes to show how much of a markup Sony has on these controllers.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Maybe worth it if I could sand the design off. Just not sure how I could refinish the surface..

I was thinking this as well.

 

[Mibu no ookami]

Candidates for controllers:

Michael Jordan
Patrick Mahomes
Shohei Ohtani (would probably sell out in Japan)
Taylor Swift
Lionel Messi

 

[Majormaxxx]

Lebron has always been obnoxiously cocky. The controller reflects that.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

Fuck him and his controller. He's a BBC Dildo, up Winnies ass!
Juan Chalupa, is a better player, anyway.

 

[Sorcerer]

Strange for a limited edition licensed controller (Lebron James can't come cheap) to be cheaper than standard. They probably made too many of these and then decided they were fugly. Fire sale.
I bet Lebron himself says hell no to this atrocity.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Hakeem Olajuwon was better. The Dream Shake would never inspire such an abomination.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

I would buy. But it is ugly. But worse, it’s random. Not even basketball related. It’s scribbles. I could have designed Lebron something better.

 

[lee50_10]

 

[Mr Reasonable]

Nothing is given! Everything is earned!

Looks like people didn't want to give you their money for that design and now you'll earn less from it.

Huh.

 

[Majormaxxx]

40 bucks plus 3 bucks for a can of spray paint to fix it. Not the worst deal.

 

[shaddam]

Looks disgusting, and I bought a pink xbox controller because it was the cheapest on a sale

 

[FingerBang]

Hey, is it normal I saw that controller and now I'm into hairy men? Nothing wrong with it, just curious

 

[tamago84]

even these sweatpants from a vtuber has better design

[lh032]

I'll buy it if it smells like lebron armpit sweat

 

[Krappadizzle]

 

[peronmls]

High school art.

 

[mrmustard]

Wow, that is super ugly. But great price and nothing 5 Dollars and Aliexpress can't fix.

 

[ChoosableOne]

Probably designed by Forspoken devs.

 

[GymWolf]

I would not touch anything related to that absolute moron to save my life.

 

[GreatnessRD]

If only it supported PC better, I might've bit.

 

[Dacvak]

Might get one and have it painted like I did with my launch controller.

Edit: Ah nvm. They’re sold out now.

 

[chilichote]

Ugly as fuck but cheap too^^

 

[sendit]

Might get one and have it painted like I did with my launch controller.

Edit: Ah nvm. They’re sold out now.

 

[West Texas CEO]

Too bad its ostentatious, but you'll never see a dualsense that cheap ever again.

 

[Dacvak]

…I liked the design…

Dualsense:

Is that a handbag?

 

[BlackTron]

Too bad about the touchpad. You could cover it otherwise.

 

[Games of Today]

woke controllers. what's next

 

[DetectiveBananas]

If they really wanted it to sell big just put out a Kobe or MJ controller. Those probably wouldn’t look like ass too!

 

[Putonahappyface]

I'll buy the Kobe rapist limited edition one.

[Dirk Benedict]

Sold out

He is one of the biggest sellouts ever. Unfortunately, Laker fans just couldn't give a fractional fuck. I guess, in the grand scheme of things, you just want your team to win.
