That’s grand so, probably go for the black myself not really a fan of that shade of red.

Picked up a black and red one. Black one looks better imo. It's a great offer by GameStop. Not often I'd applaud them.

Makes you think what's the logic. Will Sony be super impressed that they sell out of the new consoles straight away and offer them lower prices or first dibs on consoles that become available. I know they'll sell the 2nd hand controllers for a big profit but they're gonna be landed with so many. Maybe they'll sell straight to cex

Fair play to GameStop. They know they screwed up with preordergate. Great offer.

That's not why they are doing this. They do deals like this all the time, have done for years, I got an X when it came out for €50 and a Pro for €99.

I wanted a red controller but sold out. No idea why anyone would want black, it's so boring especially after years and years of black controllers I'm wired now for something visually stand-outing.

Fair enough but brand new + just released dualsense trade in for 5 euro? Best Ive seen from them in a long time.

Put it this way after all the hassle they caused people with ps5 preorders I have been avoiding them since. Few more offers like this and I'd be inclined to give them more custom. I think its an outstanding offer.

It good I went in trade in my white dual sense for the midnight black dualsense was expecting to pay €5 then he said €1.I was happy to pay the €5 but only cost me €1 for a brand new dualsense.

I half wonder if that controller deal is serving to replace a load of earlier controllers that were fault prone. I'm hopeful anyway.

Like I said I got an X the week it came out and a PS4 Pro the week that came out for barely any money. Gamestop is always doing crazy trade in deals.

I got my PS5 from them a few months ago. Signed in, added to cart, paid and it arrived 2 days later. Easy.

I heard you the first time on the X and Pro. I wasnt calling you a liar. I just thought this deal is better.

Your PS5 wasnt a pre-order tho was it?

You are hard work pal.

No it wasn't a pre-order. It was in March. No idea what your last remark was about. Cop on.

Anyone know if the black and red controllers are better built or just reskinned versions of the white one?

Anyone had much success in cork with a red controller? Seemed to have sold out everywhere

Think the reason GameStop's controller deal is so good is that they keep all of the profits on pre-owned sales. Makes sense to give away new one's for a fiver and give Sony their cut, then sell on the one you traded into them for €50/€60 and keep 100%.

Got the cosmic red controller, ended being 5.99 since I had Level 3 membership

How much did they buy them from Sony or their suppliers though. They of course are making a profit but not as much as you think.

Grabbed a black controller from GameStop on Patrick's street today.

Thanks for the heads up on am excellent deal.

Potential-Monke

I was in GS Crescent yesterday but didn't have my controller, however yer one behind the has put one aside for me to collect Monday when I'm back in. She wasn't going to, but checked stock and had 9 black ones left, but decided to put one aside as they had 30 that morning! I'm looking forward to not seeing how dirty the controller gets!

friend and foe

had 2 white controllers, so traded my launch controller and picked up the black one myself, worked out at 2.99 thanks to gamestop loyalty's bonus trade in credit.. kept the newer of my white controllers as i do still quite like the two tone aesthetic tho.. incredible bargain
