When Sony first revealed the sci-fi-inspired design of the PlayStation 5, its future owners split into two camps: those who loved the minimalist black-and-white color scheme and sleek curves, and those who wished Microsoft was in charge of the console’s design. Regardless of which of the two camps you belong to, you can now make your PlayStation 5 a bit more exciting by pre-ordering two new DualSense controllers — Midnight Black and Cosmic Red.

Well, the controllers are functionally identical to the standard PS5 DualSense controller, but their colors are different. The Midnight Black controller features two subtly different shades of black with light grey, while the Cosmic Red controller offers a striking black and red that should remind you of the shades of red found throughout the cosmos.

Here’s what these hot new Midnight Black and Cosmic Red DualSense controllers will look like:

Where To Pre-Order The New DualSense Controllers?

According to Sony, the two new DualSense controllers will be available at participating retailers globally starting next month for $69.99, with the exact date varying from location to location.

If you would like to avoid waiting in line and possibly leaving with empty hands (and who wouldn’t with the novel coronavirus pandemic still stretching the capacity of hospitals in many countries around the world), you can pre-order the controllers online at:

If you would like to receive your new DualSense controller as soon as possible, then pre-ordering it from PlayStation Direct is your best option since it ships approximately a week ahead of other retailers, on June 11th.

With the release of the new color schemes, PlayStation 5 owners finally get to enjoy additional customization options beyond Dbrand’s Darkplates and other third-party accessories, making it easier for them to ensure that their video gaming console matches their personal style.

paymob extends series b funding to $72 million amid continued growth

Leading financial services provider Paymob has secured an additional $22 million in a funding extension, bringing its Series B total to $72 million.

The funding was spearheaded by EBRD Venture Capital, with support from Endeavor Catalyst. Existing backers such as PayPal Ventures, BII, FMO, A15, Nclude, and Helios Digital Ventures also participated, reaffirming their confidence in Paymob’s business model and potential in the regional fintech industry.

This extension comes on the back of Paymob’s strong performance in its core market of Egypt, where it has experienced 6x revenue growth since the initial Series B in Q2 2022. With the Series B extension and continued profitability in Egypt, Paymob is well-positioned to further its expansion strategy across the MENA region.

Islam Shawky, Co-founder and CEO of Paymob, commented: “We are very excited by our strong prospects in Egypt – where we hold a market-leading position – and the significant traction experienced in the UAE since launching operations there. This funding will help Paymob fully capitalize on the momentum in our established markets, as we accelerate our GCC roll-out. We remain committed to creating cutting-edge infrastructure enabling SMEs across the region to thrive in the digital economy and are proud of our continued impact”.

The expansion into GCC markets has been driven by Paymob’s initial Series B funding of $50 million, raised in 2022 and led by Kora Capital, PayPal Ventures, and Clay Point. The investment fueled Paymob’s growth, allowing it to launch its mobile app in 2023 and grow its merchant base by 3.5 times, now serving nearly 350,000 merchants across MENA.

Paymob has also expanded its payment acceptance suite to offer 50 payment methods through its gateway, POS terminals, and the Paymob app, providing the region’s most comprehensive fintech solution. The company recently introduced embedded checkout services for Shopify and WooCommerce, further demonstrating its commitment to empowering small and medium businesses across the region.
