    the PS4 can be jailbroken with a €4 disc from aliexpress nowadays, and it has a great catalog of games. slap a 1tb external hdd on it, download games from archive.org, presto

      Wait, you can get jailbreak discs from aliexpress? That might be worth looking into…

      (although, how do we know if it’s got malware on it?)

          Oooh awesome. I figured normal burned discs wouldn’t work.

          We don’t have a bluray burner (only a CD/DVD drive) but have been kinda wanting to get one.

            Shoot, apparently it’s not open source. That’s not confidence-inspiring… but then again PS3 CFWs weren’t either (*sighs*)

            Does that apply to PS4s running 11.something? I can’t remember what OS version our PS4 is on, but it’s new enough that a jailbreak only came out pretty recently. Needed a specific game disc to work.
