That’s because, according to the rumours, the jailbreak method can only be done with a physical version of one particular game.
The game in question is Star Wars Racer Revenge, which, before the rumours, was selling for around $50. Now, listings on eBay are as high as $500, meaning that the price has increased tenfold.
At a certain point, if you want an open system, it’s gotta be cheaper and less hassle to just get a PC than trying to start with a closed system and pay $500 to try and set up a brittle jailbreak of it.
So in other words, scalpers heard about it, bought up as many of the damn things as they could at $50, and then raised the rate 10-fold. Which is why scalpers are some of the lowest scum on the earth.
Or you could buy one, and jailbreak ps5s and sell them on eBay for a profit, or offer it as a service. I can’t imagine breaking 500 dollars would be to hard

You misspelled “capitalism”

If it can be done with this game, I’m sure there’s a way to make a disk that does it without this game.
Woohoo Dreamcast all over again.
