That is my understanding. I don't think their will be a CFW above 3.55 any time soon though I guess its good to stay positive?

your are right to a point but there are some ps3 slims that left the factory on 3.56 and 3,60 fw that can be downgrade. the reason why some can is because even thought they left the factory they wasnt born on that fw , they was 3.55 ofw but sony updated them there self so it wasnt ready for cfw to be install when it left the shop that sold it

Can't remember $ony orders PS3's back from the stores to update the FW. I was afraid of that too when i bought my Slim in the 3.41 age. Afraid they would update the consoles to stop dongles. But it came with 3.15 on it and the one I bought 3 months later was also on the same 3.15... To expensive for $ony I think to have lots of people working to unpack and update

They would have to updated while on the production line.
Once boxed its not only too expensive... its completely impractical.
Another factor is geography/location and type of stores.
Some areas sell more than others and some stores share inventory.

Looks like ps3s on 3.55 or less are gonna skyrocket in price
(supply aint there to meet demand), glad I got mine when
the scene was considered 'dead'.

We have lots to look forward to this holiday season

Thanks, you helped me prove the point (in more detail) that I was trying to get across.
