Good call. If you didn’t get a PS5 at launch price, it certainly won’t ever be worth getting one, or any future PS console.

Honestly, I regret getting the PS4.

You might be able to jailbreak it! I have a collection of consoles that I got only to tinker with. I keep up to date with the PS5/PS4 through MODDED WARFARE on Youtube. Might give you something to make it useful for you, even if it is just to run Linux on it. :P

Good thinking. I do love making Linux run on things.

I’ll be looking into jailbreaking my PS5 once Sony drops support for it. Any hardware you already own, even years old, is much more valuable now than it used to be.

Out of curiosity, why did you get one?
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 months ago
There were several PS4-exclusive games coming out that I was really looking forward to,and I was expecting many more; furthermore, I thought it might be handy to have something with built-in optical media support. Most of those original titles were re-released for PC, my future hopes never really materialized, and I never used the optical drive except to insert a disc for DRM purposes.

Honestly even if you got it launch price, it wasn’t worth it. Mine’s collected dust since launch

Depends, it’s been worth it for me as it’s more powerful than my PC and was much cheaper than building a similar power one would have been at the time. But if you already have a powerful PC, yeah, definitely not worth it.

Yeah, I really only got mine for Ragnarok. and as an upgrade to my 4k player. Which I then proceeded to only use detective Pikachu in. So, definitely not my brightest usage of money.
