And it\u2019s commendable that Sony has decided to go all-in when it comes to the colour variations. Everything from the housing, to the analog sticks, the triggers and even buttons are coded to the controller\u2019s respective colour scheme.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Even the touchpad has been colour-coded, and is itself transparent, letting you see the PCB underneath.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">As for the console covers, we have less of an idea of what they\u2019ll look like, but only the top half appears to be transparent. In any case, it\u2019s perhaps the less exciting of the two products since you can already get third-party transparent covers, but the colours are nice nonetheless. It\u2019s certainly tapping into some nostalgic sensibilities, which Sony has been lacking in recent times considering their decision to cut physical disc production in the coming years.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"availability-and-pricing\" class=\"_subHeading1_1k87u_111 _base_1k87u_1\">Availability and Pricing<\/h2>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">The Prism Collection for PS5 accessories will be available in Southeast Asia starting <b>4 February 2027<\/b>. The DualSense Wireless Controllers will cost you <b>S$115<\/b>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">As for the covers, they\u2019ll be available in limited quantities only in select retailers. Sony hasn\u2019t announced which retailers will carry them, but they\u2019ll cost <b>S$101<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hardwarezone.com.sg\/entertainment\/gaming\/sony-ps5-prism-collection-dualsense-controllers-transparent-singapore-release-pricing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><br \/>\n<center><script>\n  atOptions = {\n    'key' : 'ab8cc34fbebd96e6c135978b4baca540',\n    'format' : 'iframe',\n    'height' : 90,\n    'width' : 728,\n    'params' : {}\n  };\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/www.highrevenueformat.com\/ab8cc34fbebd96e6c135978b4baca540\/invoke.js\"><\/script><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s always nice to see transparent tech get their time in the sun.
