		Macha on Oct 7, 2020 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: PS5 Teardown [video] Sony has historically been receptive to certain classes of console modding. You could install hard drives and modems to the ps2, there was an official Linux kit for the PS2, replacing the hard drive with an SSD was common for PS3 and PS4, PS3 shipped with Linux support until it was used as a launching ground for breaking the system's DRM.

And PS5... has detachable sides.

I think it also has an unused NVMe SSD Slot, which would be the equivalent of replacing the HDD in previous versions.

Sides? Sides? $499 worth of sides? What are these sides? They cure cancer?
