two limited edition gta 6 dualsense controllers just got announced at state of play

Sony used the State of Play stream to show off a pair of limited edition GTA 6 DualSense controllers. Eurogamer has the rundown, but the short version is Rockstar and PlayStation are teaming up for some themed pads ahead of the November launch.

I was half expecting a trailer or some new footage, but this is a nice surprise. Controller drops like this usually mean the marketing machine is really kicking into gear. We're less than three months out now, so it makes sense they'd start rolling out the hardware tie-ins.

No word yet on pricing or when they go on sale, but if the past limited DualSense releases are anything to go by, these will probably vanish fast. The GTA fanbase is huge and scalpers love this stuff. I'm already dreading the eBay listings.

I'm curious if the design leans into the Vice City neon vibe or if it's more subtle. Rockstar usually goes pretty bold with their merch, so I'm expecting something loud. Maybe palm trees, maybe the Leonida color scheme, who knows.

Anyone planning to grab one before they sell out?

Two controllers for what's basically a two-hander of a game, that's kind of perfect if the white one's Lucia and the black one's Jason. I never buy limited edition pads. My launch PS5 controller has drift and I still haven't replaced it out of pure stubbornness. But these might break me.

The scalper dread is real though. We lived through 2020 trying to buy the console itself, same energy is coming for these. Pricing's my other question. Limited DualSense runs keep creeping up, and with the Ultimate Edition already sitting at a hundred bucks, Rockstar clearly knows exactly how much we'll put up with.

If either one has neon palm tree detailing I'm pre-ordering in about four seconds. Not proud of that.

me watching everyone pre-order while my bank account says "you have a perfectly fine controller at home" lol. it does have drift tho so maybe
