After many years of being a NES owner i finally to consider to buy a PS3. Why only "consider" you might ask? Well there are some stuff that i'd like to know before buying it so i thought you guys might be able to help me. I'm posting this as a lot of information on google are outdated, and I cant be certain that even recent post arent outdated.

1. If I am to buy a PS3 (slim, 320GB) now, which version of its software would I most likely get?
2. Am I able to jailbreak my device with that firmware?
3. What could go wrong and how to prevent these mistakes.
4. (In worse case) A common excuse to return/refund PS3.

Additionally I read that some firmware version requires you to update (4.0) and then downgrade, to sucessfully being able to downgrade afterward.
If that is the case, will I still be able to get 4.0 even if sony has a newer version out? I read something about sony blocking the old PSP and only letting PS vita co-op with it, which is why I'm assuming a new release soon.

Thank you for taking your time.
