I have been looking for a 3.55 PS3 for ages, and finally got in contact with a guy who wants around 100 bucks for it. It has 3.41 installed right now, but has a broken Blu-ray drive.

I've heard that it's requred to have a working drive to play backup games, unless you use Rogero's latest firmware. I don't understand to much when it comes to the PS3 and CFW, but to my understanding, i have to install 3.55 OFW, then 3.55 CFW, and then just update to Rogero's latest? I have read the stickys but still can't manage to understand what to do.

I don't have any model number for it, but it has the memory card readers and 4 usb ports.

Now, is it worth getting this PS3?

Any help is highly appreciated.

EDIT: I'm planning on replacing the drive in the future.

your PS3 model is NAND, it is between CECHA to CECHG. you might be intersetd with CFW Rebug REX edition, this support PS3 with a broken Bluray drive.

Thanks for the info. What's the difference between this and other CFW's?

as I said above you can play games with a broken bluray drive and there's no way it'll bricking your console either. it's very stable.
