Reason for dual boot?
Just purchased my first playstation (ever) - a PS3 slim, upgraded to firmware v4.0 but confirmed that the original firmware was 3.4. Great.. per the info I've found on this site I know that I can use progskeet or E3 Flasher to downgrade to at least 3.55 and, with the Cobra USB, enjoy all the benefits that go along with jail breaking.
I see people talking about the dual boot feature of the E3 Flasher but I haven't been able to figure out why this is a desirable feature. I'm assuming it has something to do with wanting to keep historical achievements gained prior to jail breaking and/or playing over PSN. Is this correct? And if I never intend to ever log on to PSN (have no friends, hate people) for playing online, and I am a brand-spanking-new playstation owner with no PSN history, can I buy the E3 Flasher without the sata/usb dock and just execute the firmware downgrade? Thanks for your help. |

Welcome to the Forums.
 Dual boot is so you can have MFW and OFW on the same PS3. They sell just the flasher without the Esata Station/Dual boot, see here: http://www.diy-buy.com/buy-e3-nor-fl...tle_p9019.html
