Pre-orders shall open up on 12th September at 10am in your local time zone on PlayStation Direct and participating retailers.<\/p>\n<p>Compared to the original design, which featured the two Astro Bot eyes on the touchpad, this updated model hands the large, central button a new expression. The eyes are squinting a little to make it look like the controller is smiling. If you didn&#8217;t grab the limited PS5 pad the first time around, will you get this second design?
