Thread: Hi i'm new here :)

Hi i finally decided to get a ps3 after having multiple xbox i wanted to try something else so i have a few questions

I just got a ps3 phat version with 4.0 so im new to the scene and i was wondering on what i can to to mod it. is it the same way as a xbox 360?

(i dont care about playing online on it so banns and not an issue)

as in i just get the dvd key and change the firmware?
do i even need to open it? is it all by usb? i tried reading the tuts but they are a little confusing since most tuts are for people who already know what to do.

also what kind of blue ray disk would i need? please and thank you +rep to anyone who is kind enough to help my

also feel free to pm me with any links.

Welcome!

First of all, your PS3 is on 4.0 which means it's NOT HACKABLE. Well yet anyways. The LATEST CFW is 3.55. You can't downgrade normally to 3.55, you must use a flasher/progskeet/e3 to get your ps3 down to 3.55. Then you can play all the backup games (you can't play newer games 3.6+, like Skyrim, Batman AC, PES2012, Assasin Creed (last one) ...)

HOWEVER. If you DO get it to 3.55 (some ppl offer services to downgrade it for you if you dont wanna mess with it, it can be difficult and requires soldering and if u're not careful u might f*ck up your ps3) then you can easily jailbreak it from a usb stick to load the CFW.

PS3 and XBOX hacking is different. We dont glitch our consoles. Also, you can't play online on PSN if you're on 3.55, it requires latest FW which for now is 4.00

welcome !!!

thanks for all the help man
