Pre-orders for GTA VI-themed gamepads crashed PlayStation Direct - they are already being resold
Translated with AI from the Russian original.
Many wanted to purchase new devices in the style of Rockstar's upcoming hit.
As previously announced, on September 10, Sony opened pre-orders for DualSense controllers decorated in the style of Grand Theft Auto VI. Interest in the new gamepad models is clearly very, very high.
Soon after pre-orders began, buyers encountered the official PlayStation Direct store crashing due to the influx of customers. Players complained about long queues; some were unable to complete their orders because payment failures occurred.
Meanwhile, on other retailers' websites, such as Best Buy, the start of DualSense gamepad pre-orders went smoother: the services were able to handle the rush of buyers.
Players can choose between two models: white and black. The gamepads are adorned with the "VI" logo and feature palm tree designs.
The recommended retail price was $85 (or 85 euros), and on sites like eBay, pre-orders for the new DualSense are already being resold with a markup of 2-4 times — offers can be found ranging from an average of $150 - $170 to $300+.
The release of Grand Theft Auto VI itself is scheduled for November 19 of this year on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles. Nothing has been reported yet about the PC version's release window.
