The console will be available only without a disc drive which has to be bought separately, same goes for the stand

I have a PS5 and it seems like it will the last console I will ever buy. Getting second hand discs for cheap was one of the reasons how I rationalised the purchase. Sadly games don't release on discs as often now. With that and consoles getting more and more locked down they are becoming more rent extracting than ever.
I don't even understand the point of a beefier PS5 when games that should run fine on it run like crap. That is not something downloading more RAM is gonna fix. I'm thinking of games like Wo Long, Jedi Survivor etc.
At this point the best thing that could happen to the PS5 is for people to find a reliable jailbreak. With Linux it would probably make a decent PC. In terms of specs the hardware is comparable to a Xeon based workstation from the early-mid 2010s.
Feels like the homebrew custom rom community fell off a cliff over the past decade.
they all were arrested
Ha, really though, 10 years ago everything was getting jailbroken and custom roms were everywhere. Gaming consoles, IPods... maybe I'm just off the scene but there's a few things I wish there was alternative firmware for and there's nothing.
You're telling me, I remember the days where you could jailbreak the iPhone by visiting a website and clicking a button!
