(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer We Are Resonate, PlayStation partnered with BLACKPINK's Lisa for a limited-edition DualSense controller and branded objects, with preorders opening Oct 2 and global launch Oct 30. The product was sold in highly limited quantities through PlayStation Direct.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): the celebrity IP is not the primary play — the scarcity and first-party channel are. PlayStation could have released this through GameStop or Amazon; instead, it chose the funnel it owns. The mechanism: preorder window (Oct 2–30) creates advance demand signal and cash flow; limited quantities prevent discounting; direct sales preserve margin and customer email for future campaigns. Run the play: if you have a celebrity or cultural partner, use them to signal scarcity, but sell through *your* channel. Create a preorder window, set a hard cutoff date, announce the quantity limit upfront, and capture the email list before anyone else touches the product.\nWhat that means for you: The gaming gear market is thick with licensed controllers that disappear into mass retail. PlayStation's move is smart because it flipped the distribution model: instead of making the celebrity partnership the hero, it made the channel ownership the hero. Lisa is the draw; PlayStation Direct is the moat. If you are sitting on a celebrity or creator partnership, the real question is not 'how do we leverage this influencer,' it is 'how do we own the funnel while we have their audience.' This week, if you have a collab in the works, negotiate to own the preorder window and the email list, even if the celebrity brings the reach.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — We Are Resonate: https://www.weareresonate.com/2026/09/lisa-x-playstation-blackpink-star-fronts-limited-edition-dualsense-and-branded objects-drop/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
