Cute

 

[fudgybrownie]

I've gone back to watch the trailer to get another look at the white dualspeeder. It seems this is one is designed based off of Astro himself and not the one in the game. Which is kinda disappointing as the one in the game looks more creative. Still getting it though.

 

[West Texas CEO]

This might be a silly question, but will I be able to pre-order at GameStop

 

[Rockman33]

Great looking controller IMO. I thought the concord one looked pretty good too.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

Got mine preordered

 

[Physiognomonics]

Got mine preordered

Shit the website doesn't work, I can't pre-order one. I hate that. Button stay grey and I can't click. Ugh.

If you’re in UK there are other retailers selling them and is maybe the same worldwide. Looks like they are producing a lot more of these…..maybe.

Just got mine preorder in.

Funny thing is, I'm PlayStationless as of a week ago since I sold mine almost launch one and recouped 390$ so it will be sitting peeping back at me till the Pro releases like

 

[Markio128]

checked a few sites in the UK, and could only pre-order one from Game.

.

 

[Duchess]

If they did, it'd be like $169.

And the battery would last about an hour!

 

[Elbereth]

Sold out in U.S.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Cool but I’m waiting for Flamin’ Hot Cheetos colored analog sticks so I don’t have to wash my hands all the damn time.

 

[LavitzSlambert]

Tired of living in times where you can show up when a page goes live and still not be able to get through checkout.

 

[fudgybrownie]

Just got mine from Amazon from Wario on X. Now I can relax.

 

[West Texas CEO]

fudgybrownie , for the win!

 

[LavitzSlambert]

Got it, finally! LETS FUCKIN GOOOOOOOO

 

[Pedro Motta]

FUCK, I wanted one, but life made me look the other way and now it's gone.

 

[AmuroChan]

Got one from Target w/ the 5% Redcard discount.

[Dorfdad]

Target sold old was able to get a preorder from warios Walmart link still. Just now

Robot or human?

 

[graywolf323]

Got one from Target w/ the 5% Redcard discount.

Target sold out as I was checking out

 

[WoodyStare]

The PS Direct website was such a mess. Had it in my cart and when it asked for payment, it wouldn’t let me type the card number. Then it logged me out of the session and removed it from my cart. Thankfully I managed to secure one through Amazon.

 

[West Texas CEO]

Sold out everywhere in the US , already.

Stunning.

 

[mayham2199]

I'd buy it if I had any confidence that I wouldn't end up dropping it on my tile floor a million times. Really need to get a wireless headset.

 

[hououinkyouma00]

Was able to get one from Amazon. My purple controller is getting worn out.

Sold out everywhere right now. They are not producing lots of these, or they underestimated the product appeal.

 

[West Texas CEO]

Is it back up at Best Buy?

Smyth's in Ireland have them. Thank you for bumping this thread because I completely forgot. Pre order in. It's the first limited edition controller I think I've ever been impressed by.

 

[West Texas CEO]

Do Smyth's ship to the U.S. ?

 

[LavitzSlambert]

Normally I hate this shit, and I'm not a fan of the Dualsense in general (DS4 is GOAT) but I am a controller whore. Last year got that TotK Switch pro controller and this year I nabbed Astro Bot. Both of them are really neat and the best designs so far, even if the white won't look great in the future I'll enjoy them now. You can always swap in darker stick caps anyway - swapping the white sticks for the black that come with the standard white controller might actually make both of them look better.

 

[West Texas CEO]

I'm expecting my pre-order to get cancelled, to be honest.
Fingers crossed, though.

[Tommi84]

Screw it. Bought it in bundle with the game. Let's see if I open it or leave it as a present

Update -

The colours look NOTHING like the pomo ones

 

[West Texas CEO]

Bro, that looks ugly compared to the promotional pictures. The actual thing looks very cheaply made.

Pre- order cancelled!

 

[Minsc]

I feel like it would be a lot cooler if the touchpad eyes were animated and reacted to gameplay and button presses.

 

[West Texas CEO]

Yeah, I feel somewhat bamboozled, although I'm free to cancel the pre-order, which is what I'll end up doing.

Yeah, that legit looks like bait and switch.

To be fair, I wasn’t going to bite since I managed to grab the fancy dual edge Sense for like $90 during Amazon’s July sale.

 

[tmlDan]

This controller was extremely hard to get, it sold out almost instantly at every place in Canada but i nabbed one.

how do we know that vid is real? looks like the guy painted it himself lol

 

[WoodyStare]

I don’t think that video is the official controller. There are textures in the official photos near the sticks that I’m not seeing in the video. Looks like a decent custom controller.

 

[fudgybrownie]

US playstation direct still has it. And that controller looks fan made. I don't see the sci fi lines?

 

[Mr Moose]

That shit looks fake, it doesn't even have the markings. Never seen a glossy touchpad.

 

[Cyborg]

Got one. Yes

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

Bro, that looks ugly compared to the promotional pictures. The actual thing looks very cheaply made.

Pre- order cancelled!

I thought the same thing, going to pass on the controller for now. Honestly don’t need a new controller anyway.

It's obviously fake; a very good one, but still fake.

It's fake, bruh. I was being over dramatic.

 

[BlackTron]

Better than most special controllers. Imagine the furor of a Pro bundle with the game and this controller. Madness

Now, an Astro Pro plaques with a part with that lovely shiny metallic blue and some robotic design on the white part...and two eyes in the black part in the middle ( if the pro retains such design) coupled with the controller and game and Sony would be making mad bank.

Too bad Sony doesn't like making mad bank with easy cheap plastics but dropping hundreds/thousands of millions on dubious GaaS projects.

 

[Fabieter]

So more contollers and next years is gonna be better somehow I heard this already.

 

[LavitzSlambert]

I gotta say as much as it’s overpriced, I would have also strongly considered getting an Astro Bot DualSense Edge. It just makes sense.
