No blog post or anything yet, but it seems this is what they meant when they said they were bringing it back "with a twist".

$399

$99 for sure. I could see $249 if it was the Edge controller.

Fucking white sticks ruin it.

I was really hoping they'd figure out a way to actually animate the eyes in the touch pad.

 

[Kerotan]

Majestic. The other astro one I got resells for more second hand then I paid for it.

No chance.
This is no more limited edition then their Helldivers 2 or Death Stranding controllers and those were both $84.99. They already said no plans to raise accessory pricing when they raised the console prices recently.

Probably easy to miss by some people, but worth pointing out. It's a static image.

SMH of course that's not the actual controller, those are Astro's feet/nubs.

What's the difference between this and the previous one?

The eyes on the touchpad are different. I don't think anything else is.

Which is weird because it's black in the game

Eyes

 

[diffusionx]

People would pay insane amounts for a controller that actually did have animated eyes q

With how shitty the battery life for a dualsense is, it would be hillarious to see how long it lasts unplugged lol.

 

[Markio128]

I love the design of the Astrobot controller. It's a tossup between that and the gold Zelda N64 controller for my all time favourite.

 

[yogaflame]

White stick is a nice touch.

As someone who already owns the original Astro Bot controller... yes, yes I would.

DualSense battery life really dependens on how much the non-standard features are utilized. Which, ironically enough, means Astro Bot is among the worst offenders.

Zelda and Atomic Purple are GOATed

A big chunk of users actually prefer wired plug-in controllers for the added immersion, reduced latency and simplicity.
They should've made a "DualSense Adult" variant with no big lights, no speakers and the DualShock 2's durable hard-wired plug.

I opted for a 2 slot dock and swap them out in my living room. And I have a wired one attached to my PC.

Yeah, I have the official charging dock and just put them on whenever I'm done. I generally keep one of my 30th and my Edge on there and just use whichever fits my needs at the time better.

I thought this was going to be some sort of weird collab with the Japanese family restaurant chain

Wash your hands.

 

[Fake]

Cute. Price is a easy no.

 

[R6Rider]

Wash your hands.

That's not how that works lmao.

A nice attempt.
