Dualsense Edge controller, PS5 equivalent of an Xbox Elite controller https://blog.playstation.com/2022/08/23/introducin...
Why is this better than the standard controller?

Maybe it's just me, but isn't the price of tech supposed to go down as it gets older?
Except when there is a war, recession, component shortage, logistics challenges. Same with used car market. 25% average increase than has previously been observed.
Sit tight, it will all come crashing down.

If it is priced similar to Elite V2 for the xbox it will also need that weighty quality component feel you get with the Elite V2. It's not just about the functionality but when you use the Elite controller it is very obvious how much better built it is. I'd love that to be the design, though the high price may not be ideal for volume sales. I await further info :-). I'm sure I'll get one either way. Cheers
The build quality of the current controllers is poor IME so it can't get much worse....It may still suffer from whatever you feel is low quality on it but it is much better,
Im terms of why this new controller is better than the standard one, you can also add buttons on the underside so your fingers under the controller can press R2 or L2. That is one benefit for gamers.
The one big gripe I've got with the dual sense controller is how uncomfortable I find it when I've got to hold down R2 for any length of time, i.e. for a racing game. Gives me such bad hand cramp. Much prefer the Xbox controller for racing games, but love the PS5 one for everything else.

You can set it t store game data and keep the install on the internal disk.
Sorry I’m not really knowledgable with this, my ps5 storage is full so I’m constantly having to delete something to download something else.If I buy the ssd and install it do I essentially get another 1tb of storage so I can Download and play as though the ps5 came with 2tb in the first place or is there more to it than that?

Not all games are necessarily playable with exactly the same performance provided by the PS5 console's internal Ultra-High Speed SSD, even where the M.2 SSD device's sequential read speed is faster than 5500 MB/s.
You need a read speed of 5500 MB/s, it seems. If you have this and match the other specs, I suppose you can install games to the SSD and run them from there.usn90 said:

Yes. Once installed you can simply go to the memory settings and tell the PS5 to install games on the WD instead - it can then run PS5 games. (I got the 2TB and have about 30 games on the PS5 right now)....

It is also nice and easy to install too which is a bonus.
Perfect going to order it,
Quick question, on Amazon I see there’s 2 WD_black SN80 1tbs,
One is £117.99 with heat sink and another is £179.99, the dearer one is officially licensed ps5, but both appear to have the same specs, is this just marketing or is there a reason I should pay the extra?

Just installed one of these ( 980 Pro heatsink) that I picked up for £100 during the Amazon event last week.
Yep - you install games on it and run them from there.
