Although 20k seems quite low, I think it is reasonable given the rise of game subscriptions.
Who would want to jailbreak and leave their ps5 offline to get 5$ games that won’t work once the station is updated. Where on the flip side you could pay 5-15$ Monthly (not sure of PlayStation Nows cost but that amount is for Xbox game pass) to have hundreds of games at your disposal and never have to physically acquire a new disk via black market to play a new game?
Is there a reason this wouldn’t in theory allow a full jailbreak and play of the $79 games?
PlayStations’ main unique feature are the narrative based single player exclusives. So, if you were going to get a PS5 and Xbox, it seems Xbox for multi and hacked PS5 for single seems like an excellent combo - you know - if you were the type of person that could justify that sort of thing.
Back in the day I faced the same consideration with Xbox 360. I went with the reset glitch hack and was able to have hundreds and hundreds of games all play from an HDD. Eventually the hackers got servers running and you could also play online with others. A fully jail broken ps5 would definitely be appealing.
Not sure about expensive but I do know there are a lot of cheap ones that you should be careful of, some say “height adjustable” but have a screw and hooks that you manually have to move. That could mean a monitor could get dropped or someone pinched during adjustment.
Personally I would like if someone could use AI to enhance the voices of the actors, I find a lot of movies like to use loud ominous music while the characters are casually talking in a soft voice. Really drives me insane, and placing subtitles helps this problem but it creates a new one, I tend to get distracted by the subtitles and find myself not watching the movie
This could be an issue with your audio mixing in your particular speaker setup. Often times trying to play audio meant for surround systems (5.1, 7.1, etc) on stereo channels results in a poor audio mix.
I don't think I've yet encountered something with an English 5.1 track that doesn't also have an English stereo track mixed in with whatever foreign language tracks are present but who knows what features any given app has.
My guess would be that after the initial period of no taxes if the company wasn’t able to turn a profit on the patent then they would have to either sell the patent to avoid taxes or list it as a value that they would manage to be able to pay taxes and start raising money, might help with patent/copyright squatting
Benjamin Graham and Warren Buffett would disagree, they don’t exactly recommend buying and holding bonds until maturity but instead to buy bonds on the market, when the bond yield is say at 6% any bond with a coupon value less than that will be worth less than its face value, when those rates drop the bond will be worth more than its face value, if you buy bonds when interest rates are high and then sell them when they are low you can make a very sizable chunk off of them that is greater than the coupon value
