most of the games that were released on 5.05 are quite cheap already during PSN sale. since it lacks of homebrews, so yeah, maybe you want to sell it if you want to play the latest games.

 

Max wait time is two years, then the PS5 will be out for a year and the support for PS4 will have died out. Then (and only then) can we expect the ultimate hacks (hope it is sooner haha)

 

Hmm, unfortunately not.

PS4 released 2013... PS3 received an update in 2019... by your logic PS3 should have been dead by 2015.

Also if the exploit is in any way relatable to PS5... and it’s not patched on PS4: still might have to wait.

 

Unless you already paid for all the best games, I disagree. (Or you're missing out on some stellar games!

God of war, horizon, GTAV, last of us, infamous, uncharted series, tomb raiders, drive club, shadow of the colossus, street fighters, assassins creed series, little big planet, alien isolation, ratchet and clank, homefront, metal gear, just cause, cod series, heavy rain, beyond two souls, Batman games, dark souls games, resident evils, Naruto and dragon ball games, dead island, mafia, bioshocks, waitchdogs, tekken, mortal kombat.... yeah nothing to play....

Hundreds of PS2 games as well for injection...

Heaps of homebrew, emulators, tools, and more....

I have PSVR and there are 50+ games available just for that.

Real talk:

Detroit/Spider-Man/rage2 etc etc wouldn’t persuade me to update a 5.05 console.

I bought a new pro so I could play the new games, and I still spend 99% more time on 5.05. So many gems.

 

On march 2020..i'm gonna up the firm to play FFVII remake...When the EOL has come i jailbreak it again or not...

 

Yes, they market new games to make you feel like they are all that matters... but most great ps4 games work on 5.05

 

just to add more while ignoring the fact support for ps4 might not end that soon and that ive only been reading about the ps4 scene for a few days, i dont think we will see as much homebrew as you would for something like og xbox and wii because it seems the ps4 runs linux amazingly (havent been able to test this yet tho) due to the fact of having gpu drivers for it.
back in the og xbox days, there were so many separate homebrew apps because linux and windows ce didnt have drivers for the gpu so alot of popular apps had to be ported to native xbe.

 

from what ive read, you dont even need a new ps4 just a new hard drive and system recovery pup.
maybe thats misinformation though and sony makes changes to chips on the motherboard in new firmware.
