Guide to finding a hackable PS3

Since GregoryRasputin feels he can just trash whatever threads he wants, I will not be wasting my time creating any threads for this forum any longer. You can find my threads at www.psx-scene.com or www.ps3crunch.net.

2. Naturally any new phat PS3 model will have lower firmware.

3. All 160gb and 320gb slim consoles will come with firmware higher than 3.55 and will also have a newer motherboard model CECH3xxx. As of right now this model can not be modded.

4. PS3 consoles with 3.56fw on models CECH2xxx and older can be downgraded with a chip like Progskeet. You can not downgrade below a firmware that the console originally had.


I personally like to hit up Ebay for brand new 120gb slim PS3 consoles and I usually spend anywhere from $180-$240 for them. Pawn shops want to make a sale so they will check the console to see what firmware is on there if you ask.

I think I hit everything but if anyone has anything else to offer please let me know so I can add it. Thanks!
Number 3 isn't true some 160GB bundles that got sold in 2010 on black Friday have 3.55 or less.

Yes I was just editing as you said that. Models 25xx came with a lower firmware brand new but they are hard to find.

Nice idea to help people find the right PS3, But I think you need to change your sentence a bit. In point 1 you say All 320gb slims have 3.50 and in point 3 you say they have a higher fw.

That was a typo. I meant 250gb consoles.

If you want to add examples to your guide I believe Little Big Planet bundles as well as Starwars Force Unleashed 2 bundles are hackable. (GT5 not sure)
