Why is it impossible to create exact 1:1 copy of PS4 or XBONE game bluray discs? (I assume it is impossible otherwise this kind of piracy would exist). I get that it is not possible on consumer burners, but why doesn't someone in China or somewhere create burner that would be able to replicate 100% identical disc?

Because a console is not a computer and never will be and hundreds of millions go into making sure what you describe is never a reality.

the question is not if but how
what makes a original bluray different from a copied one
PS4 has HW DRM.
Sell your piss 4 and build an A8 APU desktop and get a graphics card for it later instead. You'll be able to use all the pirated pc games to your heart's content.
You'll also be able to use desktop to also do non-vydia stuff as well.

But it is.

1.76 is jailbroken, kernel and userland exploits are there. 1.76 PS4 can run Linux, too.

Just google it.
> The Xbox 360 copy protection functions by requesting the DVD drive compute the angular distance between specific data sectors on the disc. A duplicated DVD will return different values than a pressed original would.
> The PlayStation 3, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 use Blu-ray BD-ROM discs. In addition to any protection provided by the consoles themselves, the BD-ROM format's specification allows for a ROM-Mark which cannot be duplicated by consumer-level recorders.
> Only licensed BD-ROM manufacturers have access to the equipment that can make these unique ROM Marks, thus allowing authentic BD-ROM media like movies and music to be identified.

It literally is

I'd also like to hear what prevents you from doing a bitwise copy. If consumer burners aren't doing it bit-by-bit correctly, then obviously the burners suck

why would you pirate games on ps4?
Imagine you buy an empty CD-ROM. It's not totally empty, it has some basic info that tells the burner shit like "this is 20/80mm disc made by *company XYZ* that can fit 100/200/750/850 MB and the empty space starts from here ->"
And the original disc have something different burned in that place, that you can't with commercially available burners + you can't buy completely empty CDs anyway.
And that was 90s protection. Add to all that: >>54964514 and you see why it gets problematic.
PS4 BD-ROM discs (and I assume Xbox One discs too) contain a 'ROM Mark.' Don't really understand the details, but it's a small encrypted portion of a Blu-Ray disc. The equipment needed to generate the ROM Mark is only available to licenced manufacturers, presumably being unavailable to the public. If a disk is missing the ROM Mark, it is rejected by the console. Presumably it's decrypted and read by the console too, but like I said, I don't really understand the details.
genuinely interested, but I like the PS4 and like supporting it.
it's allowing us to game GTAV (etc) on BSD/UNIX, how awesome is that?
definitely worth the money, I say.

Bitches love ps4 games

Ultimately there's no point, the consoles have maybe 2 good games total between them. Not worth the effort.

consoles are cancer, avoid at all costs. just build yourself a nice rig it's more fulfilling than anything else.

what is the definition of a computer?
>>54967586
A machine that performs computations, e.g. a PS4. Actually back in the day a computer wasn't even a machine — it used to be a person (usually a woman) paid to sit there computing shit all day.

How fucking retarded can you be
