    Sony: digital only

    hackers: sure why not

    Sony: wait no not like that

    Too many words, title should be, “PS5 slammed by hacking scene”.

      I wish they’d change it up. I want to see headlines with the word “obliterated” in them.

        “Hacking scene atomizes trillion dollar conglomerate with this one gateway!”

        I prefer the more salacious ‘Rodgered’ or ‘spanked’.

    Suddenly glad I’ve had no desire to play ps5 in ages.

    I should look and see if theres better options for ps4, as well, since mine is currently in need of repair anyway…

      …it seems someone took it as a personal insult that you haven’t wanted to play PS5 games for an indeterminate time period prior to the hack.

      Sometimes the internet just be that way.

      You could look into who down voted you and ask them. Could be quite interesting.

        I think that ability is a instance to instance type of thing. I cannot see who’s downvoting on the .world instance.

      github.com/ps5-linux/ps5-linux-loader

      And there has been some people who have gotten some form of steam OS working already I think.

    I can’t comment on ModdedWarfare’s channel since I don’t have a YouTube account, but my PS5 is still on 4.03.

    Most of the comments on his videos are those of people who are never really patient enough for these types of things, so I wish I could talk to someone who has a low firmware like myself and them let me know if I need to stay on 4.03 for any future exploits, or is it time to get the latest firmware that can use these new exploits?

      Or you know, read the article or the release notes.

        Wow.

        I did and didn’t see anything pertaining to whether or not someone SHOULD update from an older firmware.

        You might be new to the jailbreaking scene, so let me explain. There are certain firmwares that are going to be more capable than others. This also means that there are firmwares that developers will focus on more than the newest one, either because their own machine is a specific firmware or because that’s where most of the other tools for jailbreaking are still being worked on.

        Imagine making a comment about wanting to talk to someone about something because you want THEIR input, then you come in and point to the fucking article that doesn’t have anything about what I am asking about.

        Dickhead.

    Sadly my gf plays online with friends, otherwise I’d take it of her hands when she inevitably gets a new console. She is thinking of going the steam route, as digital only is not why she plays console
