^ Are you sure of that? Any idea where in Bangalore I can find a new PS3 with FW <= 3.55?

You would need to scout the Sony Centers that are prevalent in colony markets and residential areas. They would have old stock.
 
^ Thanks. So without opening the console, is there a way to be reasonably sure that it has older firmware? Like by manufacturing date? I am really interested...

I gave it back to the shop..
now planning to get a new one ..I have two doubts
1.is it possible to get a new ps3 with 3.4 firmware ?
2.can we play all types of new games using 3.4 firmware ?

Mgdelhi one of TE members just got a console from Letsbuy which has 3.50FW so just try and check out some retail stores other than sony Centres. They might have old stock.

It has a sticker on the side which has month/year of import. If less than March 2011 you are safe. The shop should have no issue showing you the sticker.

Just make sure u read extensively. I noticed few setting tweaks to set the memory card slots as well.

So do read the full thing properly before giving this a shot.
 
I just found out something interesting could anyone please shed some light on the matter:

am planning to buy a ps3 when I go to my hometown indore, and had asked my dad to enquire about modded ps3s.

the shopkeeper told him: I will not be able to download/put games on the modded ps3 and it can be done only by the shop guy. Also, the games once put on the ps3 can never/not easily be removed.

1.Does anybody have any idea wth was the shopkeeper talking about? Is this some old mod where such restrictions were there?

2.What should I ask the shopkeeper? Like is there some favoraite mod and y?

PS: The shopkeeper is not a n00b and has a very renowned modding biz in indore.
 
^^

Even the shopkeeper does not have any idea what he is talking about. And is a noob, or is trying to fleece you.

Once a customized firmware is loaded on the PS3 (currently 3.55) games which do not require a firmware greater than this can be placed on the PS3's HDD and removed too. It is a simple procedure copying over games and removing them.
 
^^ Was under the same impression...totally think he is wrong too...

1 more question...i was reading the threads where people buy <=3.55...and after that they dont really post anything...

is it so easy to mod it? i believe/know it is a soft mod? am i wrong? is it difficult?

don't ask the shopkeeper for a modded ps3, looking at the response either he is a noob or is trying to make some good money.. instead, focus on buying a sealed pack ps3 with an import/mfg date of year 2010, with that you'll be having an unmodded/unused brand new sealed consoles on which you can do anything and can enjoy the warranty, if you're buying it with a bill..

rest assured, after picking up the ps3, ask here and anyone will help you how to go around loading a cfw on your consoles, it's really easy..
 
Yeah 100$ Dont worry its fakes will be out soon i mean copies of it! :D Cheaper. Just like when the first USB dongle was out after that it became cheap.
 
n00b here.
This thread sprawls over 100 pages and the initial pages don't give an idea of Jailbreaking a PS3. Can somebody make a sticky on PS3 hacks please? Or maybe edit the first post with links to pointers?. Will be much easier for people to access stuff in the thread.
