Sony lied to you for years to turn a profit. Recently, a jailbreak called Relapse dropped and other than just jailbreaking the firmware, it exposed an embarrassing trend with Sony. For years, Sony tried telling users that there is no way to play PS2 or PS3 games, but this jailbreak is proving that untrue. Sony lied to you because selling remasters and making you rent copies of games that you already bought years ago was more profitable. Not only that, but the whole you have to use our disk drive thing was just complete BS. It was a software lock, and now people can use any disk drive that they want, not just Sony's. And as long as it uses USB, it allows you to even play PS1 games on your PS5 via a homebrew program called Swan Station. People are quickly finding out that you can download and play any game for any console on the PS5, and you can even save these games on an external flash drive instead of the internal SSD for the PS5. To further embarrass themselves, Sony was found frame limiting certain games, and gamers have already figured out how to increase the frame rate on numerous different titles. And Sony Power limited the hardware to keep the PS5 quiet, which kept users from using the max performance of the hardware they already owned. Homebrewers have already made its tool to unlock an almost 10% boost in hardware performance. To further complicate things, people are now installing Linux on their PS5s and then installing Steam on their Linux distro on their PS5s. So yeah, people can now make spreadsheets while playing their favorite Steam game all on their PS5. And there's another news story coming out this month about PS5 that liberates consumers from capitalist greed. A homebrew app called PS5 LM+ was able to cram a huge local language model onto PS5s. This is a local model with a parameter size of 27 billion and it can have a 64,000 token context window. All while only using 86 watts of energy was zero need for the internet or data center. A used PS5 can be picked up for as little as $250 and maybe as much as $500. Meanwhile, a comparable PC would cost almost $2,000. PS5s are at least 70% cheaper than PCs right now. People are taking these used unwanted subscription locked paper weights and turning them into an everything console that can play any game and it can be used as a personal computer and it can even be your own offline locally hosted LLM home lab.
