Why disc? Been few years since I used my PS4, but I remember jailbreaking it as long as you are on the correct firmware was as simple as caching a website offline and bookmarking it to run the exploit whenever you turned on the PS4.
Comment on Sony is testing dynamic pricing: one game - different prices on the PlayStation Store

the PS4 can be jailbroken with a €4 disc from aliexpress nowadays, and it has a great catalog of games. slap a 1tb external hdd on it, download games from archive.org, presto

Wait, you can get jailbreak discs from aliexpress? That might be worth looking into…
(although, how do we know if it’s got malware on it?)

you can also burn it yourself if you have a bluray burner, the software the aliexpress discs use is freely available

Oooh awesome. I figured normal burned discs wouldn’t work.
We don’t have a bluray burner (only a CD/DVD drive) but have been kinda wanting to get one.

Shoot, apparently it’s not open source. That’s not confidence-inspiring… but then again PS3 CFWs weren’t either (*sighs*)
Does that apply to PS4s running 11.something? I can’t remember what OS version our PS4 is on, but it’s new enough that a jailbreak only came out pretty recently. Needed a specific game disc to work.
