(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); German tech site Computer Bild has gotten their hands on a PlayStation 4 console and is showing us all how to open it up to swap out the HDD via a few pictures. It seems like a simple enough process and there is also a fancy, customized PlayStation screw that has the Square, X, Circle, and Triangle symbols we all know and love. The HDD is under the piano black plastic and it seemingly pops right off to allow users access to the internal workings of the PS4.

It looks like PS4 will be easier to disassemble.

I have a funny feeling that there will be a jailbreak for this.

Because it looks easy to disassemble to HDD you think there will be a jailbreak ?
Do you know how a jailbreak is created in the first place , I'm sorry I just get annoyed when people talk about modding or a jailbreak before it's even released . I think people are losing the real meaning of gaming

I think Sony will have something to detect that the console has been modified. When they detect that it has been modified you will be banned from SEN. Then you would get a message like this. "You have been banned or Temporarily suspended from Sony Entertainment Network. Reason: Firmware Modifications"
