Currys has just received limited stock of the DualSense Wireless Controller – 30th Anniversary Limited Edition, but you’d better snap one up quick.

The UK high street retailernow has units inof this special edition PS5 controller, selling for the usual £69.99. These things are selling like hot cakes wherever they’re available.

Fresh DualSense 30th Anniversary Limited Edition stock at Currys

Currys has limited stock in for the DualSense Wireless Controller – 30th Anniversary Limited Edition.

So what’s the big deal here? The DualSense Wireless Controller – 30th Anniversary Limited Edition is functionally identical to the original PS5 DualSense controller. The difference is a new visual palette that mimics the look of the original PlayStation console, with a two-tone grey finish.

You also get a multi-coloured PS logo button, which will be familiar from the iconic boot-up screen on the first PlayStation console, which hit shops in 1995 here in the UK.

This is technically a pre-order, despite the talk of stock, as the DualSense Wireless Controller – 30th Anniversary Limited Edition won’t be arriving until November 21.

It might not offer any new functionality, but we’re big fans of the PS5 DualSense controller all the same. Our former Gaming Editor Jade King handed out a glowing4.5 out of 5 reviewat launch, calling it “a stunning peripheral, and one which introduces features we’ve simply never seen executed like this before.”

That’s a reference to the DualSense controller’s unique Adaptive Triggers, which supply nuanced force feedback to the two analogue shoulder controls. It might not sound like much, but it really adds a layer of immersion to those games that take full advantage of it.

This is also simply a very good controller, with a nice weight and just-so ergonomics. Battery life has been improved over the PlayStation 4’s DualShock 4 controller, too, and it’s fully rechargeable using the included USB-C port.

Add in a splash of retro gaming allure, like with this 30th Anniversary Limited Edition, and you’re laughing.
