I wonder if now is the time to get a PS5, under the assumption that ones produced in the future will have a different root key and thus be non-exploitable. I have a Xbox now but that platform is dead in the water. And Steam Machines will be hideously expensive due to insane hardware prices.
I think it's a bit early to assume traditional consoles won't be effected by hardware prices.
Another potential reason to buy a PS5 now, I guess?
Been wondering the same. If the console gets opened up I'll be rushing to get a PS5 to get one with old firmware that hasn't had the exploit patched out.
Don't forget to firewall it or you'll get a patch anyways
