They're not releasing their exploit, but its only a matter of time. Everything gets cracked eventually. I don't actually own a PS4, but this still excites me! The possibilities! I'm interested in this stuff because I really want to see somebody install benchmarking software on the current consoles, so we can really pinpoint where their hardware stands compared to modern PC parts. It is related to PC gaming though... You can now possibly play PC games on your PS4. This could be good news for someone with a shitty laptop or what not. The slave of Sony PS4's are finally being freed to be able to utilize their full potential by having a PC operating system installed onto the hardware.

We don't discuss home brew, hacking, piracy, and emulation on this website.
