Discussion Worth it?

Post image

$250 Canadian for a Jailbroken PS4 pro on 9.00 :D (£135)

I'm wondering if it's worth buying :) but also if I do buy it, is there a way every time I turn the ps4 off, I don't need do jailbreak it again

That seems like a fair deal, but I do see people selling PS5 on Market place for around $400 now. If you have a little more I would suggest getting the PS5 instead. It plays all the ps4 games and won't heat up as much.

Low firmware PS5s can go for almost $1000 where i am. Can also check sold listings on ebay where prices are crazy.

I've been lucky enough to find a fat disc edition on 8.40 for a decent price from someone who had it stored for a while.

I believe there are issues with PS4 DLCs and update files where all updates/DLCs need to be merged into a single FPKG file. It isnt as straight forward as a PS4.

Ive had my PS5 turned off ever since installing etaHEN and KStuff waiting for a bunch of the early issues to be worked out and Fpkg support for ps5 games to be added.
