You can’t convince me otherwise: this cable is the coolest part of Sony’s 30th Anniversary PlayStations.
“Unfortunately sick as hell” describes the whole package, but I’d even buy this cable solo.

Some retro reading.
If the announcement of the 30th anniversary edition PS5 has you feeling nostalgic, we have just the thing. Five years ago, when PlayStation turned 25, we put together a special issue looking at everything from the environmental impact of a PS4 to the influence of the original DualShock controller. There’s even a science story.

Your aging Nintendo 3DS and PS Vita deserve a case upgrade.
WaterField Designs has expanded its gaming case collection to include new “retro” options for the 3DS and the PS Vita. Two case styles are available for each handheld including one with a magnetic closure and one made with full grain leather.
They range in price from $69 to $79 but will only be available until September 22nd, 2024, as part of a limited run.

The PS5 Pro makes Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth look so much better.
Blame hardware, blame Square Enix — either way, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth forces you into a big graphical compromise on the PS5. It’s the one game I’d desperately like to play on the $700 PS5 Pro instead. Now, thanks to Digital Foundry, we all can.

The people want disc drives.
Wario64 spotted that the $79.99 PS5 disc drive is sold out on Amazon and Best Buy (via shipping). I’m seeing that it’s sold out at Target, too.
I’m guessing people are stocking up on the drives because the $700 PS5 Pro doesn’t come with one. But we also don’t know how many drives the retailers actually had on hand — perhaps it was just a few.
