hello everyone it's SpawnPoiint and today we're taking a closer look at PlayStation's latest
limited edition DualSense controller for the PS5 so last week PlayStation tweeted this on
Thursday letting us know that a new Hogwarts Legacy theme controller was on sale the very
next day fortunately I managed to grab one within the first couple of minutes before it sold out
here in the UK but for those that missed out or might be interested in what it looks like I will
get this unboxed and I'll show you it today there's also a cool feature that dynamically
changes depending on which house you choose in the game so who else is playing Hogwarts Legacy
and what do you think of it so far I'm about 30 hours in and I'm hooked I'm so looking forward
to playing this over the coming weeks okay and here's the box that it comes in and as you can
see this box is black instead of white which is what we've seen every other jawsense controller
coming is even different to the God of War controller box that we saw last year so this
is nice and it feels like some effort has gone into the actual box design in fact it looks more
limited than the God of War controller I think this dark theme gives it a more premium look
foreign
controller with several details and images printed in Gold both handles have these gold
swirls on them but they are different on each side so it's not symmetrical oh and on the
touchpad we've obviously got the Hogwarts Castle I'm trying to get nice and close here to show you
but you can see the detail that's gone into it and it obviously contrasts nicely against that
black controller now rubbing it these do feel like stickers rather than painted into the design so
I'm not sure how this will hold up over time you know if it's used every day then around the back
we've got the Hogwarts logo which almost spans the entire backplate but a cool little extra here is
if you flip the controller upside down there's a wand icon printed on one handle on the right
side I don't think many will even notice this unless you go looking so the base color of this
controller is obviously black but comparing it to the midnight black controller you can see how much
darker the Hogwarts one is it looks more of a flat to matte black rather than the dark blue or the
midnight controller then along with the blacked out buttons this is a nice looking DualSense
now although I do like the look of this I feel it could have been better I'd like to see more than
just stickers we need designs that are wrap around the whole controller like a custom print right now
it gives the impression that anyone could buy some stickers off eBay and replicate it quite easily on
a midnight black controller and comparing it to the God of War limited edition controller
that we saw last year this also has a sticker on the touchpad but at least a whole controller and
color theme is unique it stands out against the Hogwarts one now I remember last year seeing a
concept design floating around on Twitter which represented the four houses and I had to do some
digging to try and find it again but imagine this being able to choose a controller that represented
the house that you would choose in the game I know it's probably a manufacturing cost reason
but we need these limited edition controllers to look a little more special now as this is a normal
DualSense controller underneath it's still packing some of the awesome features that you would expect
things like the Adaptive triggers haptic feedback motion controls and USBC charging now in the Box
it doesn't come with a charging cable but that's the same with any additional controller that you
buy the only USB cable that you get comes with the PS5 itself so when you set it up for the
first time you will need to use that cable to sync it with your console as well as install an any
updates that are available and as you would expect it works with the official charging dock as it's
literally the same shape and size as the other controllers and as for the game which launched
a couple of weeks ago on the PlayStation 5 I'm really enjoying it so far the visual story sound
design and music are all great I love the flyer mechanics and I like the fast travel between the
different areas of the map and I'll tell you what it's massive it's far bigger than I was expecting
and I'm constantly getting sidetracked with these side quests instead of the main ones but
as mentioned I'm about 30 hours in and I have no intention of putting this down until it's finished
I'm actually playing my first playthrough as Gryffindor but as I plan on getting the Platinum
4 I will need to replay the other three houses as well at least for a few hours each so who else is
playing Hogwarts and which house did you choose oh and another cool feature with the controller
and the game is dependent on which house that you do choose the LEDs on the controller will pulsate
red yellow green or blue this isn't limited to just the Hogwarts controller though as it will
work on any normal PS5 controller and you might wonder how much this controller costs so this
version is listed at 70 pounds or 8 dollars which is five pounds more than the God of War Edition
and 10 pounds more than the standard white one I think for the design and the limited edition
element it is worth it but when you take into account these scalper prices which are currently
two to three times higher it's hard for anyone to justify paying that price currently it's only
available to buy directly from PlayStation's own website which we've seen them do on a number of
accessories lately and that includes the console covers DualSense Edge controller and the psvr2
headset unfortunately though the pre-order sold out within a matter of minutes so it's
not currently in stock on their website but it's still worth keeping an eye on this page just in
case it add another wave so that was a quick look at the new Hogwarts Legacy controller for the PS5
it's a nice addition to the range and adds to the full collection we've seen them all here
together definitely feels excessive now drop a Hogwarts Legacy in the comments and I'll give
you a thumbs up for staying right till the end and if you did enjoy today's video check out my
DualSense Edge video next as I unbox and review the official Pro controller for the PS5 thanks
