PS3 250GB Slim FW2.85 to CFW 3.55?

Hi all,

A good deal on a PS3 Slim 250GB which is on OFW 2.85 has come up.
I have never owned a PS3 before although been wanting one for a while.

This has possibly been asked before, although do not have too much time (don't want someone else to take the PS3 before I do). I stay in South Africa, so it will be a PAL version.

Would there be any reason why I would not be able to upgrade the PS3 to CFW 3.55 and then possibly to one of the newer CFW 4.30?

As I have stated, it is currently on OFW 2.85.
I promise that once I have the PS3 I will do a lot of reading and stop asking questions such as this.

Kind Regards,
Psy

For a good price you need to get it. Then come back and read.

Machines with less than 3.55 are becomming rarer than rocking horse shyt

Yep thats right, buy it at once and then:

Update to OFW 3.55, follow itkamels guides to install CFW, profit.

No reason why you couldnt update to 3.55OFW and then install 4.30CFW.
