Everything the anchors say on this tape, story by story.
GRANT BRICKMAN: Sony goes see-through: transparent PS5 controllers and covers are on the way for next year.
GRANT BRICKMAN: Good evening. Sony has announced the Prism Collection: see-through plastic for the PS5 and its controllers. You can finally see the console's feelings. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: The article says it revisits the see-through look of the late nineties. Gary asked the public what they make of it. ▶
GARY: Live from block world, in my helmet. Quick question, folks: transparent controller, eighty-four ninety-nine. Would you buy it? ▶
PASSERBY: I had a clear gadget in the nineties. I could see the dust. I loved that dust. Yes, I'd buy it. ▶
PASSERBY: I always open the thing anyway. Now I don't have to void the warranty. I just look at it. ▶
GARY: Strong first review. I'd rate the concept four out of five diamonds. Minus one for no armor slot. ▶
PASSERBY: Orange is the only one that matters. Green is fine. Gray is for people who own gray hoodies. ▶
GARY: Three colors: flare orange, emerald green, graphite gray. Preorders open November 10th. Availability starts February 4th, 2027. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: The covers are $74.99 and the controllers $84.99. The article also notes Microsoft did a translucent green Xbox earlier this year. ▶
GRANT BRICKMAN: Transparent technology. We've come so far, Greta. Next they'll make the cloud visible. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: TechCrunch's Founder Summit is a week out, and the pass discount is ticking down.
GRANT BRICKMAN: Now to the countdown. We first told you on Friday about the speakers at the Founder Summit. Now there's a seven-day clock on the ticket discount. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: Vera, the article is basically an invitation. What should viewers know before they sign up? ▶
DR. VERA VECTOR: The article says it's TechCrunch's one-day Founder Summit, on November 4 at SoWa Power Station in Boston. ▶
GRANT BRICKMAN: Seven days. It's like the VCR timer: you set it, forget it, and it records the wrong channel. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: That's not what the article says, Grant. Vera, do other outlets report on it? ▶
DR. VERA VECTOR: We found no other outlets on this one, so there's nothing to compare. The announcement is TechCrunch promoting its own event. ▶
AXIOM: Huge fan of summits. Fun background: founder gatherings began as medieval guild picnics. Thank you for the question! ▶
DR. VERA VECTOR: What's still open: the article offers a free second ticket and also 50 percent off. Both appear, and the full pass price isn't given. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: So the real question is which second-ticket deal is correct. Read the fine print before you bring a friend. ▶
THE NETWORK REPORT (PXL)
GRANT BRICKMAN: THE NETWORK REPORT is on the air. Dot, how do the motorways look? ▶
DOT: All quiet on the motorways. No reports. ▶
GRANT BRICKMAN: Thank you, Dot. We will be back with the next report. ▶
[AD · fictional product] Essayish
GRETA FOOTNOTE: I read the article. Essayish cited it, and said it said something else.

GRETA FOOTNOTE: Essayish. Four of thirty sources exist.
