Playstation 5 root keys obtained

Given all the issues described in this thread, what is the upside of a game console (non-gamer)? Why not get a PC that you can automatically use for other things, can play games from any vendor etc (some of the issues mentioned in the thread).<p>Are consoles cheaper “per transistor” or sth? If so, why? Is it about the vendor locking you in and charging more per game? That would seem even more skewed against the buyer: buy this pseudo-pc so we can sell you expensive, limited-choice software.

As someone who isn&#x27;t in the jailbreaking space I don&#x27;t really know what this means. Can you sign your own PS5 code and run it on the hardware?

Better translation from: [0]<p>&gt; It means ultimately that decrypted firmware files will be available for hackers. This would make reverse engineering of the PS5 firmware possible, and from there, open possibilities for finding future exploits and&#x2F;or write custom firmwares or Homebrew enablers.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wololo.net&#x2F;2021&#x2F;11&#x2F;08&#x2F;ps5-exploit-fail0verflow-show-decrypted-ps5-firmware-files-they-already-have-the-ps5-keys&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wololo.net&#x2F;2021&#x2F;11&#x2F;08&#x2F;ps5-exploit-fail0verflow-show-...</a>

Can someone explain what are the consequences of this? Can this be patched? Does this mean cracking games will be possible?

&gt; 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<p>They&#x27;re right, its just a PC now. Its crazy, I can&#x27;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!

If only people could obtain a Playstation 5 to go along with them.

I sincerely hope the first thing someone does, is create an unofficial patch to allow people to use old third-party (and first-party) joypads. Locking down which joypads you can use seemed like a mean spirited move from Sony.

Easier to get than an actual PS5, apparently

Is Sony prepared for such an event or some sort of irreversible damage is done as a console?

playstation 5, not yet obtained!
