Please be very careful when buying any PS4 controller that's in a box, eBay due to the time of year is flooded with fake PS4 controller's, things to look ot for and remember... one they do not make these anymore, secondly the cost an original in a box would cost anywhere between £70-£140 the ones for sale now are between £26-£39 many reports that these lower price ones are fake. Things to look for on a fake controller buttons are not glossy, writing on controller's do not line up with originals, headphones sockets are out of line, box is not the same as an original far too thin, printing on the box is not the same as an original (see picture), instruction booklet should be behind a white cardboard sleeve not just put behind the plastic controller packaging, also Sony do not include a charging cable with original controller's. Should you purchase a fake item as they can be very convincing but the price is the obvious give away, return it to the seller and make a claim "Item not as described" and explain the reasons above as to why. I have spotted over a dozen sellers with these fake controllers for sale over the last week am sure there are many more.
