For me, it was:

  • You couldn’t get one for ages when it came out, so I missed the initial hype period.
  • When it did finally become available, it was prohibitively expensive.
  • There are no real killer exclusives or features so no particular reason to upgrade, aside from games looking nicer.
  • Sony is releasing all the good stuff on PC now, so if I want to play a nicer-looking version of a PS4 game I can just do that.
  • Steam Deck

I could have waited it out probably another 2-3 years if I wasn’t gifted one. Still have LOTS of PS4 titles I’ve been meaning to play. In fact, most of the games I play on my PS5 are PS4 games.

I play, like, fine games. In very irregular binges. Why the fuck would I shill out 500 Euros, to raise my binges’ fps?

it has no games and was plagued by availability/price issues for a BIG while there.

why should anyone buy it?

UsernameIsTooLon,

Blind fanboyism?

Swarfega,

I said I wish I hadn’t purchased the PS5 due to the poor library of games in comparison to the PS4 era on Reddit. Proceeded to get downvotes.

I still don’t have a 4k TV either. The PS5 is friggin HUGE. My space is at a premium.

You know what? I barely play the games I already have. I should just go to the gym.

The PS5 doesn’t even have a browser because they’re scared of exploits

Why not just have some hardened Firefox with auto updates instead of licensing a browser from a company specialized in exploitable browsers for consoles? Nobody uses netfront, why Sony and Nintendo are so obsessed with it?

PS3 lets me play online for free. Later consoles don’t.

PS3 plays CDs and stores media files on its internal hard drive. Later consoles are limited to external storage solutions for media playback (and no, streaming doesn’t count).

PS3 has a snazzy user interface. Later consoles have… a user interface, I guess.

PS3 plays PS1 disks. Some models even play PS2 disks. None of the later consoles do that, having a strong reliance on digital downloads for PS1 and PS2 compatibility, meaning some games are straight up limited to the earlier consoles.

PS3 even lets me transfer games and media to a PSP or PS Vita through a USB connection. Guess what, the later consoles straight up don’t do that.

Don’t have an HDTV? PS3 works with composite, component, and even S-Video in addition to working with HDMI. It even downscales Blu-ray Disks to fit on your super small screen. Got an HDTV? PS3 upscales your DVDs to fit your super big screen. Later consoles only work with HDMI, and I’m not sure if the upscaling/downscaling thing with DVDs and Blu-ray even works or not.

The choice is yours.

VanHalbgott,

Pretty cool!

Someone else mentioned the lack of a browser on the PS5 too. This doesn’t apply to PS4 so I didn’t mention it in my comment.

I’ve been holding out for an eventual PS5 Pro version since day 1. The base PS5 having less space than my stock PS4 Pro was the biggest dealbreaker for me.

I currently have my original PlayStation (PS1) which is more like a classic version of the brand.

I still have a decent collection of games for it but I seldom use it out of sentiment for the PS5 being a failure from what I’ve been reading about it.

So technically I have a PlayStation in this case.

Imagine if we had better PS4 Emulators than PS3 emulators, soon.

slazer2au,

Imagine of we didn’t have to resort to jailbreaking things we own so we can use them how we want.

@dumbass@leminal.space avatar

Hahaha, own.

applepie,

Let's not mock people still learning the hard truth about a peasants ability to "own"

@dumbass@leminal.space avatar

I’m sorry, my bad, I forget some people still have hopes and dreams, I’ll do better.

friend_of_satan,

This comment hits extra hard because in order to jailbreak the ps4 you need a jailbroken tv.

FiniteBanjo,

Sucks to Suck, pal, I bought my phone bootloader unlocked, play on PC, and have a regular Television.

Maybe if you stopped buying John Deere Tractors then you could see the future you desire some day.

slazer2au,

Making a couple assumptions there mate.

I too own a dumb tv, a non vendor locked phone, and play on PC.

Speaking of PC when was the last time you purchased a game? No I don’t mean on Steam, origin, Uplay, or epic. you are licensed the game from those digital stores as they can remove them from your inventory without refunding you because you don’t own the copy.

FiniteBanjo,

It was a tongue-in-cheek response to your off-topic statement. I don’t actually expect you to be an avid purchaser of John Deere Tractors.

If the exploit happens over Ethernet, why do you need to have the TV?

Edit: the exploit doesn’t require the TV, it’s just a novel way to do it

ggppjj,

It’s a tethered jailbreak from what I can see, so this is more of a convenience thing. Basically untethered jailbreak for these TV owners.

ChanchoManco, do gaming w People Are Using TVs To Jailbreak Their PS4s

Turns out you don’t even need a LG tv to jailbreak a PS4, almost any computer that runs Linux and has an ethernet port would do. github.com/TheOfficialFloW/PPPwn
