Should you pre-order the God of War 20th Anniversary DualSense controller?
Simply put, in the context of committing to a pre-order or considering waiting until release date - something currently unknown, remember - then I recommend wholeheartedly you commit to a pre-order just to be safe in the knowledge of securing your unit.
Even though the most recent launches of the Ghost of Yotei and Astro Bot Joyful DualSense controllers had strong stock levels and have lasted, there's simply no guarantee with any PlayStation 5 limited edition hardware release - many have simply sold out, and fast, and with no word of any restocks come launch.
Given God of War's place among the PlayStation pantheon, and the immense following it has too, I can only predict this DualSense controller being hot stuff and incredibly popular, so I wholeheartedly recommend committing to a pre-order if you can. At least that way you'll have secured your unit and bought a bit more thinking time at the very least!
Hello fellow God of War fans, PlayStation enthusiasts, and collectors! Yup, you're in good company here with me as I am all of those things too, so am deeply interested in limited edition controllers like this one. As a result, I'm committed and personally invested in helping you get your limited edition gamepad. I've also got nearly a decade's worth of experience in gaming hardware and games backing this up, and I know a thing or two about pre-ordering in-demand items and what a high-profile pre-order day can bring with it having covered things like the PS5 and Xbox Series X launches and new graphics card launches in 2020 and 2021, when trying to get any one of those was a tough ask.
HMV goes early in the UK
While I was expecting all the action to come tomorrow, as is usually the case, it appears one UK retailer has gone early!
HMV currently has pre-orders for the controller open and live - I just placed a pre-order there to test it out, and it has all gone through as normal! An unexpected chance to bag your unit early - though there's always a chance HMV could back out, remember.
Anyway, worth a pop!
- God of War 20th Anniversary controller: £74.99 at HMV
I'll keep a close eye on the HMV listing for UK fans given it's so early - will the retailer be getting a slap on the wrist from Sony followed by the page suddenly disappearing? Maybe!
Other key info
As well as pre-orders starting at 10am local time, the other key bit of information is the price. The controller will be $84.99 in the US and £74.99 in the UK which is bang on what I'd expect to see and what has been the pricing of previous limited edition DualSense. So no surprises there.
ShopTo is live!
In more unbelievable, retailer-going-early news, ShopTo has opened its preorders already!
You can head over there right now and save a few whole pence in the process too!

Argos is the only UK retailer that I really would have expected to see stock the controller, but it's still empty and not showing anywhere on its site.
US options are still only the early Amazon bird
