The same point I started off with - the one you quoted... For most (non-modders) the Edge would be a no-brainer if it gets Hall Effect sensor modules.
Don't know why you're trying to go off-rails, but most (non-modders) would like to keep their warranty in case something goes wrong with their controller.

Youre talking to yourself at this point. You don't need to be a "modder". I charge people 15$ to replace both joystick modules on broken/out of warranty dual sense controllers including parts (around 2$). Replacing the haptic trigger or caps I do for free if somebody brings the parts because both can be replaced without soldering.

Do you disagree with my assertion that replacing the old joysticks in an existing dual sense will be cheaper than buying a dual sense edge + modules? Because that's my original point. You tried to tell me how to fix a stick and brought warranties up on your own.

 

[Mephisto40]

Really want to buy one of these, but It'll mean not leaving the house to do anything other than work for a month

Is it worth it...

hm...

You may be right, however I don't have one of "YOUS" around me to do all this work. If I have a 3rd party that does that, then I have to go through the hassle of shipping back and forth. Sometimes the time spent doing all this is not worth the hassle of saving few bucks. If I already have a DualSense Edge and the joystick modules are $19.99, even if I can get that done for $9.99 I wouldn't want to because of the hassle.

 

[STARSBarry]

I will wait for this to be out and for everyone who bought early to find all the flaws so they can silently release a new version when it hits retail shelves later on (where onto the 3rd internal improvement of the duelsense for example)

Or you know buy like 3 games...

No, you're expecting anyone to have the same knowledge as you - or to know someone with the same set of skills you have.

It's like telling an automechanic that I had to pay 2 grand for a new muffler and he said he could do it for free. Well do'h.

Most would rather buy an original item that they can "mod" themselves without breaking warranty.

If Hall Effect sensors come for standard controllers, I'll also be doing the soldering myself - but I don't expect the general public to do the same.

 

[Mephisto40]

Does anybody know if the face buttons can be replaced without taking the controller apart, as in the x, square, triangle, circle buttons?

Only reason I'm asking is because the main problem I've had with my dualsense controllers is the face buttons sticking over time

Also that stick module is up for pre-order as well for $19.99

https://direct.playstation.com/en-u...dualsense-edge-wireless-controller.1000032646

Not bad, we out here paying for Kontrol Freeks $17.99 which is just a piece of rubber/plastic.

All of what you wrote is irrelevant to what I asked. You even stuck to the warranty guns(why are you buying modules when your original module is under warranty ?). Do you think third party installation of hall sensors into a joystick will cost more than $240?

 

[Zimmy68]

Just saw the release date. Jan 26th?
How do they not have this ready for the Holiday buying season?
They can't seem to get out of their own way.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

$200 though? Sony loves to overcharge for their phones and televisions, wasn't expecting them to extend that practice to PlayStation. $150 for the Xbox Pro controller was already a steep asking price. $200 is just silly IMO.

All accessories have insane profit margins, that was always the case.

Well, you're not breaking warranty if you install Hall Effect sensors on the Edge - that's a reason to buy new modules.
I'll expect a price of around $50 for 1 set of Hall Effect sensors, but that's only relevant for people like you and me, right?

Hall Sensors you say?

$50 for a set of 2 you say?

 

[8BiTw0LF]

It'll be more expensive for the Edge tho'. $40 each, maybe..

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Would never preorder before knowing the battery capacity.

Do dual sense controllers have a lifetime warranty that I'm unaware of? If so my apologies. If not, what warranty is being broken if you fix a controller out of warranty?

If you think an OEM hall joystick will cost 25$ then I can't imagine the markup Sony would put on the module. Guilikit already sells a pair of steam deck sticks for 30$. I expect the sticks themselves so stabilize between 2$ and 5$ once china has its way with them.

Installing Hall Effect sensors is not (per-se) a fix, but an upgrade.

No one will be allowed to make parts for the Edge, so my best bet is some China company will make them and offer them around 80 bucks for a set of 2.

 

[TexMex]

Ordered LFG.

 

[TrebleShot]

I’m in baby

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

$200 lol

 

[PlayedStation]

Yep I got one. My card won't be charged until it ships.

 

[B_Boss]

For those interested, preorders are up:

https://direct.playstation.com/en-u...dualsense-edge-wireless-controller.1000033578

 

[DoomGyver]

No extended warranty? These better be bulletproof for $200.

 

[LectureMaster]

Is the preorder only gonna be at playstation store?

I wanted to preorder at retails.

 

[Evolved1]

I'm getting a cart error through playstation and can't find anyone else listing this yet. (US)

Super annoying.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

psdirect only at present

 

[LectureMaster]

Okay, preordered. If the retails preorder pages are up I'm gonna switch to best buy or Amazon.

[Putonahappyface]

No galactic purple no buy.

 

[Flutta]

Lol. Seems overpriced. Pass!

 

[Camreezie]

So lame. 200 bucks for the privilege too

does it charge you now or when it ships

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

does it charge you now or when it ships

Pretty sure I saw wont be charged until ships but I just clicked through it too fast to pay super close attention, FOMO and all

Edit - Looking back at email says it will "attempt to charge total price when ready to ship"

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

Okay, preordered. If the retails preorder pages are up I'm gonna switch to best buy or Amazon.

I planned on doing the same until I realized other retailers will not be selling this until its released.

This is a PS direct exclusive at the moment

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

does it charge you now or when it ships

They charge you now which sucks

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

They charge you now which sucks

My email says not until its ready to ship

 

[Evolved1]

Thanks, this worked. Had to use shitty Edge browser. Lol

 

[HTK]

No they do not, they run the trans to make sure it's a legit card and then they refund it back.

This is in the email of my transaction:

A receipt of your order is below. Be sure to keep it in a safe place for future reference.​

We will attempt to charge the total price of your pre-order using the payment information that you provided once your order is ready to ship. You will receive a final invoice email at that time.​

 

[Evolved1]

does it charge you now or when it ships

There's a temp check to make sure you have the funds, but website says you're not charged until shipping time.

 

[Evolved1]

BTW, at least in the US, if you're a plus member, release-day shipping is apparently free. I was only charged tax.

 

[LectureMaster]

That kinda sucks but we will see how's the stock like. If there are plenty I might as well just buy it at launch.

 

[LectureMaster]

Yes, they've been doing the ps plus free shipping since the beginning.

 

[B_Boss]

When it ships . Now I hope to find a nice case for it as I have for my DualSense….I sure hope some good ones are made.

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

No they do not, they run the trans to make sure it's a legit card and then they refund it back.

This is in the email of my transaction:

Good to know, I was charged right after I placed my pre-order. Didn't know they refund it back to you.

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

That kinda sucks but we will see how's the stock like. If there are plenty I might as well just buy it at launch.

I think it will sell out, if anything due to scalpers. I think its a good idea to just get your order in now and you can anyways cancel if you change your mind.

Not a fan of the case it come with?

 

[PlayedStation]

Exactly. I love having the freedom to cancel if I change my mind. But having a reserved spot is sooo deliciously sweet...

 

[Evolved1]

January feels far away haha.

 

[Markio128]

 

[Imtjnotu]

Order placed. Thanks HeisenbergFX4 and B_Boss

 

[PlayedStation]

January feels far away haha.

Kind of, but not really, if that makes any sense. We're at the tail-end of October and then we've only 2 months to go until January. It's gonna fly by!
