Starting today, Walmart is offering the professional grade PlayStation 5 DualSense Edge Controller for $174.99. That's 13% off the $200 MSRP, which might not sound like too much, but the DualSense Edge is almost never discounted. This is part of Walmart's larger sale that competes with Amazon Prime Day.
