Additionally, for those currently one OFW 3.60+, nothing has changed. You will still need a hardware flasher to install CFW. This is due to the fact that once you have firmware 3.60+, it uses a new key pair to check the validity of the firmware, which we once again have no way of getting the private keys for.
But if you are already on CFW 3.55, look forward to seeing frequent CFW updates in the future, similar to the PSP scene in it's heyday.
By the way, a special **** you to whoever leaked this to Chinese pirates for what was most likely a large sum of cash. While I did want to see the PS3 cracked open eventually, doing this now is going to do nothing but lead to more piracy. I don't particularly like Sony, but they have enough **** to deal with without this happening. I personally could have waited until the PS3's life cycle was complete for these keys. Well, whatever, at least I can buy some new PSN games now that I'd been meaning to get.

I liked your post, until I came to

Lead to more piracy? 95% of games is already playable for us on the current cfw 3.55 and I DOUBT newer ps3's that uses newer keysets for lv0 or whatnot can use this... It allows us to use our machines as bluray again though, and everything good. And for the newest games. The raise in piracy will be minimal, and it probably won't be larger than the raised amount of sales of those games by those that can now play them.. Nope.jpg.
