Sony has given a first look at how it plans to celebrate the 30th anniversary of PlayStation, and it looks like the PS5 Pro will join the party.

The main change appears to be that the proportions of the console are different. If this is the Pro, it will be shorter than the OG PS5 and have more stripes across the body, making it look a lot like the PS5 Pro renders leaked in late August. But how much? And how powerful will it be?

The No Such Podcast can be accessed on all major platforms.
The NSA says the podcast will “bring together stakeholders from inside and outside the agency to discuss our role as a combat support agency, foreign signals intelligence, and cybersecurity missions.” The podcast is a long way from Edward Snowden-level intelligence sharing; NSA chief of strategic communications Sarah Siegel is quick to add that some of the agency’s work is too sensitive to discuss.
