A standard PS5 controller—the Sony DualSense Wireless Controller—is listed for $74.99 at Best Buy in the United States. That is a retailer reference price, not a fixed price for every model or store; color, special edition, condition, promotions, and availability can change the amount.

Why the price varies
Standard DualSense or DualSense Edge
The standard DualSense is the regular PS5 gamepad. The DualSense Edge is a separate configurable model with mappable back buttons, changeable stick modules and caps, adjustable trigger lengths, sensitivity and dead zones, and quick-swap profiles. Its price should be compared separately from the standard controller. See DualSense Edge features
Color and special editions
PlayStation lists multiple standard colors as well as themed designs, and its displayed prices vary. A limited-edition price is not a reliable guide to the cost of a standard colorway: Sony’s announced $84.99 LISA edition, for example, is a recommended retail price for that specific limited release.

New or certified refurbished
A refurbished controller can cost less than a new one, as the $59 PlayStation listing illustrates. Confirm the current stock, condition description, and warranty terms on the listing before ordering.
Retailer and promotion
Retailers set their own displayed prices and may run sales, so the Best Buy price and PlayStation’s catalog prices need not match. Treat any figure as specific to the seller, model, and time shown.
