PlayStation 4 owners in the market for a new controller, particularly if they have a little player 2 running around the house, will soon have a cheap new option. Sony has announced a miniature wired PS4 controller, which will go on sale across the US and Canada this holiday season.The mini PS4 controller is an officially licensed gamepad from Hori that was `designed with younger gamers in mind` according to the announcement post on PlayStation Blog. The controller is 40% smaller than a standard DualShock 4. It comes in blue and includes a 10-foot cable. You can take a look at images of the mini controller below. The mini wired controller will retail for $30, making it a cheap, kid-friendly alternative to the standard DualShock 4, which typically retails for $60--though you can frequently find them on sale for roughly $45. However, the mini wired controller lacks many of the features included in a typical controller, such as a touch pad, light bar, stereo headset jack, speaker, vibration, or motion sensing.If you`d rather pick up a more traditional gamepad, Sony recently released a set of translucent DualShock 4 controllers. The controllers retail for $65 and are available in three colors, each of which is exclusive to a certain retailer in the US: Crystal (GameStop), Red Crystal (Best Buy), and Blue Crystal (Walmart).
