I just got a PS3 for free

I once traded someone my PS3 for his PS4.
I traded up, and he had two PS4s and no PS3 and he wanted one of each. It was a win-win.

lichtmetzger,

And a PS4 BluRay exploit has just been released, so you can crack the whole thing by burning a BluRay (up to a certain software version).

Lots of legitimately obtained backup copies to play!

MrScottyTay,

Is there a cfw yet or other homebrew? Or we just at the start and they’ve just found the door in so far?

lichtmetzger,

There isn’t a CFW for PS4. But what we have is GoldHEN (which enables us to run decrypted games, also called fPKG’s) and various methods to run GoldHEN.

Up to firmware 9.00 (I believe) there is a browser exploit to run it, up to 11.00 you can also hack the console via PPP (pppwn) and up to 12.02 GoldHEN can be loaded with a BluRay you have burned before.

So you basically start the system and put it in a state where it accepts unsigned code. It’s very similar to PS3HEN. There’s also a method of hacking the console with some obscure Japanese games and one with a PS2 game. Some absolute madlads even made it possible to hack the PS4 with an LG Smart TV. 😆

The channel MODDED WARFARE always reports on those methods and makes tutorials, highly recommended.

Ugh,

You lucky bastard! Good for you. 🤘

remember when consoles got cheaper as they aged? …and eventually they’d hit that $99 sweet spot in the last few quarters of life? and used game stores were overstocked with older cheap used games…

ozymandias117,

That’s why all of the major players have been frothing at the mouth to get rid of discs

bitjunkie, do games w Sony is raising all PS5 console prices in the US by $50, starting tomorrow

Definitely not getting in on this generation, then.

Damn I’m gonna not buy it even harder now

AnimalsDream, do games w Sony is raising all PS5 console prices in the US by $50, starting tomorrow

Part of an overall concerning trend, but as someone who decided to stop buying consoles years ago: ¯_(ツ)_/¯

fin, do games w Sony is raising all PS5 console prices in the US by $50, starting tomorrow

You can’t blame Sony for this

TubularTittyFrog,

Everyone did it. They are the last hold out.

Yes we can.

fin,

It’s a tariff problem. Blame your horrible president

WanderWisley, do games w Sony is raising all PS5 console prices in the US by $50, starting tomorrow

Make gaming great again!

Deathgl0be, do games w Sony is raising all PS5 console prices in the US by $50, starting tomorrow

And Nintendo over here raising console prices for shit released in 2017 I guess only thing in common was Trump.

JigglySackles, do games w Sony is raising all PS5 console prices in the US by $50, starting tomorrow

Ok. More reasons not to get one.

REDACTED,

Pretty much all of tech will see this price bump because of Trump

JigglySackles,

Yup. Still more reasons to not buy anything.

inclementimmigrant, do games w Sony is raising all PS5 console prices in the US by $50, starting tomorrow

This is Republicans and Trump’s doing btw.

ameancow, (edited )

No no, I’m sure it’s the fault of the trans kids. And the immigrants. I’m sure prices will go down if the US just cracks down harder on these threats to gaming.

edit: do some of you dipshits have literal brain damage? If I have to add /s tags to something like this, it’s proving that we have NO hope for the future ffs, take your medication and talk to someone.

inclementimmigrant, (edited )

You’re not wrong.

Here’s how I think it’s going to go down.

  • They’ll realize that Sony isn’t a American company.
  • They’ll find out it’s a Japanese company
  • They’ll blame Chinese-Americans for the increase.
  • Republican gestapo intensifies
  • Tariffs will continue until Americans aren’t so stupid

Everyone in the world suffers from higher prices.

ameancow,

They’ll find out it’s a Japanese company They’ll blame Chinese-Americans

I love how this is one of those things that sounds like an absurdist joke but it’s actual realistic analysis based on current trends.

lefixxx,

It’s Biden fault

sugar_in_your_tea,

At least it’s not Obama’s…

There is also the choice if making less money that companies are allowed to make.

A company that is profitable will still be profitable if they make a tiny bit less profit.

But that’s not even seen as an option anymore. The idea that a company should shoulder the cost of anything instead of the consumer is crazy to us.

mogranja,

And to top it off, if the tariffs went away in 3 months, would they lower the price back down?

PhAzE,

Why would they make less money just so someone else can pocket some of it? Raising prices is the only and proper business decision to this.

SoftestSapphic,
@SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world avatar

So they lower prices when the economy is doing better right?

    Wow you are a weird ass troll

    Decq,

    Why would they take a hit for something the US population voted for themselves? That makes no sense.

    SoftestSapphic,
    @SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world avatar

    Why would businesses shoulder the burden of economic downturns when they have the option to force poor people to pay for it?

    Why would they ever save for a rainy day when the laws allow them to constantly redline their buisness?

    Yeah that’s the question

    I struggle to shed a tear for souless corporations

    Decq,

    I don’t shed tears for soulless corporations either. But i also don’t shed tears anymore for a populace that systematically votes for self-harm

    Semjaza,

    I think, if I understand US law correctly, not a legal choice to publically traded companies.

    SoftestSapphic,
    @SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world avatar

    This is true

    Dodge vs Ford Motor Company started us down that road to our current shareholder economy

    en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_v._Ford_Motor_Co.

    mrgoosmoos,

    well, that and the insatiable lust for profit

    Damn shame, Sony. I’m lowering my buy price by $50.

    But_my_mom_says_im_cool,

    Are you under the impression this is Sony trying to gouge you? It’s your idiot president and your trash country

    pathos,

    Damn shame, Trump. I’m lowering my buy tax by $5.

    Vanilla_PuddinFudge,
    @Vanilla_PuddinFudge@infosec.pub avatar

    You’re right. I can’t forget to factor him in.

    It’s $100 less now. I’m taking a tariff on it. Final offer.

    ampersandrew,
    @ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

    Other countries got their price increase months ago. Ours was probably delayed so that they could tell how bad the damages of our idiot president would be.

    samus12345,
    @samus12345@sh.itjust.works avatar

    Then why did so many other countries get an increase first?
