Colors! Who doesn't love colors, right? Well, if you were planning to snag a PlayStation 4, you'll be happy to hear that the console's DualShock 4 won't be available solely in black. As has been the case with previous generation PlayStations, Sony will be offering different color variations of its DualShock controller, this time in "Magma Red" and "Wave Blue." Both models will be available when the PS4 launches in Europe and in North and Latin America later in the year, where they'll cost £54 and $59, respectively. So, don't worry, it looks like you'll be able to add a bit of hue to your next-gen gaming sessions.

Wow. That's... the absolute worst case scenario for calling a controller red or blue. Not shiny, not metallic, not even deep. Just plain, bright and ugly as hell.

Yall 3DS XL haters should hate on this instead. :/
 
The blue one looks ok. But they look like cheap knock offs. Atleast it is not taking Sony four years to get colored controllers out.
 
All the black trim makes it look worse than it would if they made stuff like the back and the touch pad and the share/options buttons the same colour as the controller. I guess that's more work/more expensive, and maybe not worth it, but still...
 
I was surprised to scroll down and see so many negative impressions. I think they look fantastic! I'll definitely be grabbing one of each. People would rather have silver or shiny colors? To each his own. Hopefully a fourth color(preferably white) won't be too far off, so I can get a complete set of 4 different colors for local multiplayer.

Feel the same!

I'd like to pick up that red one once I start needing to pick up 3rd and 4th controllers.
 
Normally I'm good for grabbing a controller in a new color or two. But looking at these, I think I'll stick with black.

They look like they're for playing while in the pool.
