An update on the story says it was confirmed fake. To pull something like that off, I'm pretty sure we'd at least need a working exploit first, if not CFW as well.

The update to the story says it was all fake

Wow the update came out 4 minuets after I posted it ha ha

Apparently it was found it was a hoax hours ago. Damn these people making up stories. It makes me look like an idiot for believing it.

Plot twist : it was real but they want to hog all PS5 stock for their mining farm

Ok, It is fake, and even that in first glance it do not makes too much sense (as the AMD stuff inside current gen consoles are available -kinda- as standalone, unlocked products) it may happen in the future due to the alleged practice from Sony of selling hardware bellow costs.

I still think it will not happen anyway, but it is not impossible

You can't run a mining software on any device that you can't run any homebrew. The only way this would be possible would be if a there was an exploit on the PS5, which we would all be aware already.

Man I can't wait for PS5 Homebrew tho

Cryptominers can all f*ck themselves for making GPUs, consoles, etc hard to get. I know it's fake, but my opinion still stands

Make a worm and create giant xbox/playstation crypto botnet and make bank

Why do you blame the miners and not the device suppliers?
What difference are they to this than you waiting a day or two before buying a new graphics card and all those others hungry to play the latest shiny shiny in shiny shiny graphics settings buying it out before you get there?

@FAST6191 This. I also don't like them since they buy in bulk and all, but at least they aren't like scalpers.

I have no problem with scalpers either. It is still a failing of the company making the device that they have not yet made supply increase to meet demand. If they were not failing at their job then scalpers would not have theirs.

and people scoff when I tell them just spend a good $1500 upfront and you'll have pc that'll run pretty much everything, for at least 10 years, maybe you upgrade the cpu, add ram, or swap the gpu, it's still cheaper over all, if you account time

You'll spend more buying the newest console like you buy smartphones, every 3-5 years

I'm curious what nintendo has planned after the switch...

They profit from impatience and ignorance, if you're neither you aren't making them profit

Bitcoin is the proof humanity is stupid

 

[the_randomizer]

Scalpers and crypto miners are all subhuman POSes, change my mind

People need to stop enabling them or defending them, it doesn't help

 

[linuxares]

This is confirmed superfake btw...

So it's fake right
