So apparently PS4 is jailbroken

Mouse and keyboard adapters are in no way as bad as people that hack the game so that they can run around invincible. You can at least kill those people who have different controller adapters, even if they have a better chance of getting you first.
And that didn't even get hacked. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Sony? Letting people play their PS3 bought PSN PS2 games on the PS4!? Get outta town!
i don't think Sony should be as worried about this as when PS3 FW 3.55 was jailbroken
A Jailbreak like that usually means you can't upgrade your firmware or go online.
While not an "always-on" console, the notion of an offline-only PS4, to mee, sounds like a far more restricted piece of hardware than an offline-only PS3.

Great news for the overseas friends but I don't see this being a major factor in popular markets unless there's an easy exploit. If it's as simple as download a few files, putting them on your USB, and plugging them in the console. All hell will break loose.
Microsoft might get a few exclusive deals out of it.

hmm based on the method, don't think Sony can detect it?

How open and wide is this supposed to be? I can already imagine millions of PS4's now being kept offline to retain their access to the exploit and I wonder if Sony would even have a patch this late in the year. The only thing I can imagine that will be positive out of such a major breach would be emulation and, in particular, improved PS2 emulation if they now can access Sony's software.
I don't care one thing about CoD, but I hope this doesn't mean bad things for the playing field of SFV online.

One thing I never did get why console servers never had as much hack detection as their PC counterparts, though I do remember some server updates did bring some in on 360

This doesn't mean it can run pirated games though, correct?

W-wait. I-is this possible?
Oh don't you worry about that, Capcom will fuck that up themselves.

Some people in this thread really aren't thinking before they post.
This is cool, I totally didn't even think of the opportunity which jailbreaking would create this gen with the x86 CPU's.
I want to see someone boot one up with Windows, with steam on it and see how well it performs as a gaming PC. Can imagine it not being a slouch at all with DX12 to properly utilise those cores.

With PSN sales, black Friday sales and generally big drops for most titles these days with a couple of months, the most I've paid for a big new title is £25. With the hassle of keeping CFWs upto date, and downloading / burning to disc and the stakes being my PSN account getting banned and system taken offline...
I see entirely why people do it but its weird. I knew a fair few pirates in the 360/PS3 days and they always downloaded the new titles yet rarely actually played them. Many were just hoarders. Others did it to emulate - which nowadays I'd find strange because Raspberry Pi2 and an SD card can do that upto PS1 days. Anyone who thinks this PS4 'jailbreak' is going to lead to anything like playable PS2 emulation is deluding themselves.

"Piracy" becomes more irrelevant with each generation since the online environment keeps getting bigger 
if they can dump the game iso, most likely, same as the PS3
Hardly anything is.Bio said:
But it's worth noting that Handheld software declines seem to correlate with the rise of piracy on multiple platforms (PSP, GBA and NDS). Admittedly that's not proof of causation(and on GBA it also correlates decline of the platform overall), but with 3 platforms it starts to look like a pattern.

lol, no, not really.
If it was that easy, Xbox emulation would already be possible at fullspeed. Talking about OG Xbox.
I still remember people being walking/flying B52's in COD on the PS3.
Not even a big deal. Sony will fix it up quick without a doubt -- in this day and age of patches and firmware.
The only thing I'm looking forward to is to save mod the single-player games. That's what really is useful. It makes me give some games I wouldn't have another chance, mostly because I don't have time to grind. Plus it would eliminate the need for more microtransactions that want you to spend real-life money for in-game currency.

I think the opposite would be far more interesting.
A complete dump of the firmware, which is a x86-64 build of a modified FreeBSD would absolutely help PS4 emulation.

You mean becomes more irrelevant surely? But yes, the permeation of non-single player experiences alters what can be pirated for sure.

I honestly didn't see it coming this early in the console's life cycle.
It'll only become playing catch up between Sony and the cracker in the upcoming years.

this opens up PS5 being a PSNow steam box.
i also love people that say, its for freeware and other bullshit. like oh shut up youre a pirate.

Didn't matter. Plenty of cheaters on ps3.
If it's anything like the PS3 you can simply spoof your console ID and continue hacking even if you get a ban.
it was already ruined long ago , when they released it.
true, the PS3 trophy system became a joke, it's funny only the Vita trophy system will be valid lol
hahahaha
PS3 piracy has actually affected release considerations of some titles in some countries.
In Asia region, the PS3 version of some games were not localized in Traditional Chinese in fear of piracy affecting sales of other versions (PSVita/PS4).
I truly fear for the future of the PS4 in Asia if this jailbreak method is legit.

I hope Sony fix this soon. Right now, Sony and some Japanese publishers pushing Asia market really hard, some games even got localization that NA and EU didn't. If this turns out popular, well...
but this is in x86, should be easier to do
