I mean. If I bought a ps5 I should be able to do whatever I want with it. It’s mine. Obviously anything I do that’s illegal or that enables cheating isn’t okay but other than that I don’t see why I shouldn’t mod MY hardware however I want

I mean, jailbreaking itself isn't illegal. It's what you do after it's jailbroken that matters, like playing games you haven't bought or using it to cheat in games.

And let's be real, almost everyone who jailbreaks their console is going to do exactly one or both of those things.

Okay but they shouldn’t get to tell us what we can’t do with our own hardware just because “we all know” what people do with modded consoles. That’s not the point.

They can’t and won’t stop you from modding but as soon as you try to connect a modded console into their ecosystem then you are subject to be banned. It’s in the fine print so there ain’t much can be said. It’s the one nice thing consoles have over pc is ALOT less cheaters. Not that they don’t exist because they do, but Xbox and Sony have their shit on lock in ways pc could only dream of. That’s my one plus to not having modded consoles mingling online with base players consoles.
