All the local stores are sold out. They have PS5 controllers, though.

in my recent few-year observations, stores dont carry much videogame hardware anymore.

Holy SHIT.this was the part where I was going to link you to an amazon seller but its also the part where I realized the controllers are going for $100+ on amazon right now

Damn, I guess there is a shortage

sony is a shithead with this, they did the same thing with PS3

Most places are sold out online too, unless I order an unlicensed one from Amazon. The last unlicensed el cheapo one I ordered doesn't have a functioning touchscreen, that's why I need a new one.

Actually yes there is. Ps4 attachments and consoles are rarely restocked. Its weird and I don't know why but you're better off getting one used because my store will get maybe 4 in a month and have 152 people asking for them. Idk why.

I wouldn't trust this company with making a cheese sandwich, they'd start an additional kickstarter for the mayo-ssjmatthew on Comcept's MN9

they pulled this same shit with PS3, this is how they force consumers to buy into the new system

Eh ps4 controllers worked with most games on ps3 and they were infinitely better so it was acceptable. Now nothing works so it's not

no it was not acceptable because a solid handful of PS3 games cant even be completed without SIXAXIS, which was ONLY available on 1st party PS3 controllers. 3rd party wasnt allowed to use the tech and the tech isnt present in PS4 controllers, so a solid handful of PS3 games are literally unbeatable without a Sony DualShock 3

Can anybody link me to a decent third-party controller on Amazon with a functioning touch-screen? I was really enjoying Ghost of Tsushima and now I can't get any farther without a touchscreen.

Wtf that's wild. I finally got my PS5 controller a few days ago after it being delayed a month and a half. No idea why the PS4 is getting snatched up

There was also some games like New Vegas where the triggers didn't do anything for some reason. Most Wanted as well.

But it sure as hell beats not even working at all like PS5 controllers on ps4. Ps5 controllers work on ps3 too. So wtf.

Im willing to bet theyre just holding out on that feature until they sell enough PS5s, and then magically theyll figure out a way to update everything where a PS5 controller will work on a PS4

They did that with PS3 as well, it took like 4-5 years until a PS4 controller was usable on a PS3
