    I’ll sell them the use of it, but I reserve the right to remove their access at any time for no reason whatsoever.

      Desolder all the VRAM chips then sell it to them. They never said it needed to be in working condition.

        And the APU die, then resolder it on another board, sell the old one, and you got 2 PS5s (wait, not really though)

    similar strategy as Xbox, drain these consoles from consumers now in preparation for the rental future they want console-heads to have, don’t fall for it

        I can’t speak to his experience but they’ve both removed games and movies from my library and their refund policy is atrocious even by digital store standards.

        If you download one single bit of data it’s no longer refundable, and guess what starts automatically?

    If I had an unused PS5, I wouldn’t sell it for 400 Dollars. That’s basically a scam. Also in the future the unused console has a higher chance to be hackable. On Amazon Germany the Playstation 5 costs 650 Euros and higher into the thousands range. If Sony wants my imaginary PS5, then they have to pay me virtually more than 400.

        Plus get rid of unpatched systems as well. For Sony its a win the less hackable consoles are out in the wild.

          *fewer

          Not only is it gramattically more correct, but “less hackable consoles” suggests the consoles in question are more resilient to hacking. I doubt that’s what you meant given the context

            Thanks for the correction. Yes, that was poorly worded by me. Off course I meant “fewer”, which is I think understandable. But still someone reading could be confused not realizing my poor English. I don’t know if my reply sounds sarcastic, but that is not my intention. I fully acknowledge the mistake and approve the correction.
