GTA 6 DualSense pre-orders go live tomorrow at 10am local time

Sony's doing a GTA 6 themed DualSense and pre-orders open tomorrow, September 10, at 10am local time. GamesRadar+ has the details but honestly it's just a time and a date, no price or design shots yet from what I can tell.

I've been holding off on a second controller for the PS5 because I knew something like this was coming. The Vice City vibes on a DualSense would be perfect for November. My current controller has stick drift anyway so this is an easy excuse.

10am local time is nice because it means everyone gets a shot at the same moment in their own region. No waking up at 3am for a US drop if you're in Europe. I remember the PS5 launch chaos and I'm not doing that again.

I'm guessing these will sell out fast, especially with the game still months away. Scalpers are probably already warming up their bots. I just want one to use, not to flip on eBay.

What's the over/under on these being impossible to find by lunchtime tomorrow?

Pre-orders opening 70 days before launch (Sept 10 to Nov 19) is unusually early for a controller. Sony's last few themed DualSense models (Astro Bot, Monster Hunter Wilds) both held at $79.99, so that's my expectation once pricing posts.

The rolling "10am local" setup also means 24-plus separate drop windows. Bots that can spoof a region get multiple attempts at stock. The 30th Anniversary DualSense in 2024 sold through in minutes at most retailers, and that was a nostalgia item, not a tie-in for the biggest release of the year.
