If only people could obtain a Playstation 5 to go along with them.
If you look at sales chart, Sony is selling as many PS5 as they sold PS4 during the same launch period. It's just that demand is higher; the fact that they are able to make as much during a chip shortage says a lot of their supply chain expertise (same could be said of MS, Nintendo, Samsung, LG, Apple etc.).
They're right, its just a PC now. Its crazy, I can't think of anyone who wants a console that has a rough computer equivalent of a Ryzen 7 3700X, 5700 RT with ray tracing, shares 16GB GDDR6 ram, a blu-ray drive, with a 1GB NVME drive for $500+tax (in store stock and not scalped, and even scalped at $900 its not easy to match PC hardware). Who wants to hack such a device for legitimate reasons like using it as a computer? Nobody, its not worth it!

I'd be surprised. The PS3's keys were leaked too (by the same group, in fact), and Sony managed to put the genie back in the bottle in a pretty amazing way.
Is there any reference to how Sony re-secured the PS3? All I'm aware of is the fact that they killed the ability to run Linux on PS3 because they couldn't re-secure it while retaining the ability to run a different OS.
That new firmware lasted for more than a year, too.

It says "up to 7 days delivery" but when I ordered one few weeks ago it arrived next day anyway.

>Governments will usually demand you register a company in order to be able to legally export them. Nah. As long as you don't sell many, you can get away with just marking as gift and putting a value of 20 USD on the package.
... and when it gets lost you are unable to claim the insurance amount

Here in Australia we put our names on a waiting list at one of the big name retailers, just by walking into the store. About a week later we got a call that there was stock. So while the stock doesn't hang around, it seems like it is now at least possible to get one without too much fuss.

As someone who isn't in the jailbreaking space I don't really know what this means. Can you sign your own PS5 code and run it on the hardware?

I live in a third world country. What's funny is we have a lot of PlayStations and powerful video cards and top-level processors available. We just don't have any money to buy them. Maybe I should set up a mail-order business to serve Western hardware enthusiasts.

> Fail0verflow have stated in the past that Jailbroken consoles are not worth it anymore since they are so close to computers in features and functionality Interesting. I don't own a PS5, but Xbox seems to be pretty much a PC [1] (weeeell, like a Chromecast-style PC anyways). The main reason to legitimately jailbreak a PS4 back in the day was to get back the Linux functionality Sony took away from its users, and to r…
The last “interesting” PlayStation in that regard was the PS3. The 4 was just a PC. The contemporary Xbox also had an interesting CPU, also PPC ISA. All successors were mostly x86 PCs. There may be some ARM fun in the future, as thermals are a huge thing now (the PS5 is mostly a heatsink with a computer attached and the newest Xbox is kind of a chimney).

The way I view it is as paying a subscription for support, I bought a PS4 at launch and the fact it can play the newest Call of Duty at 60fps looking decent is absolutely worth the price. I'm not a PC gamer so I'm curious if a PC from 2013 that cost like $400 would hold up as well.
Now the PS5 is out I view it as time to pay the next sub of $500 to have a guaranteed level of performance for the next console cycle
