It's easy to see why playing video games is a fantastic hobby. You can leave the real world for a short while and go on amazing adventures, roleplay as gods and experience storytelling unlike the kind you'll find in any other media. It's also, unfortunately, getting increasingly more expensive. So thank Kratos that holidays sales are providing some long-overdue discounts on Sony products. The one not to miss out on right now is the PS5 DualSense controller at Amazon, which has numerous color designs back down to their lowest price ever.
The next-gen controller has quietly become the PS5's showpiece for what the latest games can do, offering haptic feedback that provides a rumble-like response that helps to simulate environments and different weapons. It also sports a 3.5mm jack for headphones, a built-in microphone and adaptive triggers that relay tension during pivotal moments in-game.

All of this technology doesn't come cheap, and Sony knows it. So these discounts of around $20 can't be understated. Even if you don't own a PS5 or the enhanced PS5 Pro, the controller works on PC if you prefer playing via Steam or the Epic Games Store.
It's worth noting that some colors are showing as "temporarily out of stock," meaning they will ship as soon as they are back in stock and others are listing post-Christmas delivery timeframes. Be sure to check the expected shipping time before you check out if you want to make sure to have these controllers under the tree in time for Christmas morning.

Why these deals matter
Video games, in general, are rising across the board. Everything from consoles to games to controllers like the DualSense. The standard model also wasn't the cheapest to begin with at a launch price of $70. It then rose to $75 in September this year. That's why holiday sales like this can't be overlooked -- especially with that many color variations discounted. It's usually just the odd design that's the least favored which receives the price cut. Not today, though! Plenty of options and many of them are at record lows.
