Anyone else feel like a jailbroken PS4 Pro is the absolute best way to game in this economy?

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to start a discussion and see what you all think. With the price of new games skyrocketing and everything getting so expensive lately, I honestly feel like getting a jailbroken PS4 Pro is the smartest move for gaming right now.

You get a solid 4K-capable machine, a massive library of amazing games easily accessible, and the community patches to unlock 60FPS on older titles completely change the experience. For the price of just 3 or 4 new retail games, you can basically set up a permanent entertainment hub that will last for years.

To me, the value is just insane compared to dropping massive cash on a PS5 or a high-end PC setup right now.

What are your thoughts? For those of you who have been using a jailbroken Pro as your main console, do you feel like it completely replaces the need to upgrade? Are there any major downsides you've run into that made you regret not just buying a normal retail console instead?

EGS launcher needs real optimization and it's still missing basic features after all these years

The Epic Games Store client seriously needs performance work. Even on a solid, modern PC it feels laggy — sluggish page transitions, slow load times, stutters when browsing the store or library. This isn't a hardware problem, it's the client itself.

Beyond performance, it's been years since launch and it still feels like a barebones launcher. If Epic wants to be taken seriously against Steam or GOG Galaxy, it needs to catch up on basics that competitors have had for years:

  • A proper community tab/forums for each game (discussions, guides, user-made content)
  • User reviews and ratings on store pages — right now there's zero way to gauge community sentiment before buying
  • Better cloud save management and visibility
  • A real friends/social experience (activity feed, richer profiles, groups)
  • Sale/wishlist notifications that actually work reliably
  • Basic client customization (themes, layout options)
  • A proper achievements overview page across all games

None of this is exotic — it's stuff Steam and GOG Galaxy have offered for a long time. At this point the lack of these features feels less like "still building" and more like neglect.

Please prioritize both performance optimization and closing this feature gap. A smoother, more feature-complete client would make a real difference for people who want to use EGS as their primary launcher instead of just where they redeem free games.
