A lot of fakes out there, dont want a second hand one either :(

Currys have the black one in stock for €49.99

If you plan to keep using your PS4 into the future I would "stock up" on controllers because genuine ones will become impossible to find and the market will be flooded with fakes. Same thing happened with PS3 controllers once PS4 came out.

Think Sony have announced they will make ps4 for a good while longer- with the chip shortage its easier make ps4’s than ps5 apparently. So bit of life maybe yet in ps4’s going forward.

Littlewoods had them a while back

You are right about stocking up.

Ive had to return 4 controllers since I bought the PS5 in July because of various buttons breaking or sticking. Shoddy workmanship. Never had any issue with any sort of controller before.

Its very easy to fix xbox/ps sticky controllers - a few drops of IPA (Alchol Cleaner) unsticks the buttons and will do no harm to the controller. But taking apart and cleaning even better.

Yeah i prefer not to have to drop alcohol into things or take them apart. Id prefer if the items i bought just worked.
