Overview
- The controllers, which went on pre‑order Thursday, Sept. 10, 2026, are two Vice City‑themed DualSense models in Black and White that cost $84.99 in the US and are scheduled to ship on Nov. 19 with GTA 6.
- Sony restricts the Black edition to PlayStation Direct in some markets while the White edition is available at PlayStation Direct plus major retailers such as Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target and GameStop.
- PlayStation Direct struggled at launch with long queues and checkout errors while some third‑party retailers handled orders more smoothly but saw initial allocations sell out quickly.
- Scalpers posted inflated pre‑order listings on eBay and other resale sites within hours, with some asking more than double the retail price.
- Sony and retailers say stock is limited and will be released in staggered waves, so buyers should monitor official retailer channels for future allocations rather than relying on resale listings.
