So this year has been an absolute scorcher in terms of how we can mod our 3.55 machines. There have been releases of all types like an app that helps us keep tabs on our CPU and GPU temps to leaks such as Bootloader keys.

So whats your take on this years releases? There have been quite a few good ones, re: bootloader keys, that absolutely change the way many of us view the PS3 scene(especially after quite a disappointing end to 2011). It doesn't have to be a new to 2012 release it could be just an update like the recent mm update that has made multiman blazingly fast or the work that The 3 Musketeers put in earlier this year that showed us what was possible and seemed to give people a bit of hope.

For me its got to be the infamous DEX method. My one big wish since installing MFW for the first time on a PS3 was to be able to launch games over my network. Thanks to @aldostools and the DEX method that wish became an easy(FREE) solution for me since his automated tool(mmDM) converts all signed elfs to an FSELF type and thanks to Rebugs REX firmware I also have freedom to switch between DEX and CEX at will for bluray movie purposes.

The keys.

But I also liked:

- Iris Manager working on 4.x.
- All Rogero 4.x CFW (and Rebug REX) releases
- CPU/GPU Temps

level 0 keys being leaked has to be the biggest thing that occured this year IMO.
