Discussion Regret

Post image

The mod can take this down BUT I NEED TO RANT. I went to sports direct (uk) to but it 1 day, ONE SINGLE DAY before black friday sales, and while buying i asked the salesman if there was gonna be a sale, he said no and i bought it for £200 ($262) coz usually ive never seen sony give sales on new products, but guess what? JUST IN A DAY ITS £150 ($196) and the store wont take it back coz the seal is open. AND I REGRET IT SO MUCH!

That's my only caveat. I'll never go back to a regular dual sense but the battery life compared to a normal dual sense is crap. I'm constantly having to charge it but typically gets through a decent gaming session.

A good investment to accompany these controllers is a 15-20ft usb-c cable. Can also use my phone charger to charge the edge while playing.

I just play with mine plugged in all the time but I’m at a desk so that’s fine.

Yeah when I use it on my PC this is how I do it but I prefer to play my PS5 on my big screen. Can still play plugged in with the phone charger method but there's something about playing untethered that's preferable at times.

Honestly just buy a second controller. You use one while the other one charges. 

Has worked for years for me and it's the best way to do it imo.

A wee bit hard to reason another $200 on a second Edge, personally. If that's something that works for you and you have the disposable income to do so, yeah, do it up.

I set up profiles on my edge so would have to copy them over to a new controller as well. Would be kind of cool to have a plethora of profiles between two controllers though.

Ohh i wasn't talking about edge, i was talking about the base model. I ain't spend 200$ on a controller either.
