Poor Sony, I know they want to get rid of physical games, but they don’t deserve this /s

PC’s become purposefully unaffordable, so all gamers have access to are these overpriced, spying, slave boxes that run exclusively on micro transactions and inflated priced digital media that we can’t own.
Praise be upon the pirates.
How’s that for diskless, Sony?
The timing could not be better. Fuck Sony

I loved how jailbreaking a PS3 or a PSP made these consoles useful for many other things. Backing up my games (and others’) was great, sure, but I could also add emulation, media servers, better save data management, more offline capabilities, remote control of other devices, backwards compatibility that Sony had disabled, and so much more. Jailbreaking a gaming console was the best way to keep it useful as long as possible. 👍
The only weird bit I see with this so far is it resets if the system powers off. I’m definitely gonna keep an eye on this though and hope for a more permanent solution.
Edit: well there we go: https://github.com/itsPLK/ps5-webkit-autoloader
The auto loader just makes it offline and automatically loads packages you select, you still have to run it every reboot
But a tethered jailbreak is nothing new. The real unfortunate bit is without a full hypervisor exploit you can’t run stuff like Linux. The older firmwares that were fully exploited were essentially solid gaming pcs that could run steam bc of this
That said it’s really a minor issue. The jailbreak process takes a few seconds, it’s really not a burden. It’s not like you have to reinstall everything every time. Apparently sometimes it can fail but I’ve done it a few times now and it’s very painless
Fucking fuckers ahahahaha
It’s time to give Sony $700 or whatever it costs now
No reason to give it to them when you could buy used or refurbished
Get an aftermarket one for $400. Or find a broken one for even cheaper and repair it.
Instead of eating from McDonald’s, eat from a trashcan
The fuck did used things do to you?
They may have been used by ruzzians
?
Get the digital edition no need to get the physical if you’re gonna jailbreak it.
