Downgrading PS3's:____________Price in person:____________ Posted:

Adelaide : Cyberskunk____________$20__________________Plus Postage
Victoria : OzModChips (Company)___$80 (will void warranty)____$94.99____(Thanks atreyu187)



As a lot of you are probably aware, OzModChips and Quantronics lost the battle with $ony for the right to sell Jailbreaks in Australia.
I am guessing it would be legal to sell a downgrader, or offer the service of downgrading a PS3.

From what I can make out, you can downgrade as many different PS3's as you want with some downgrading usb devices.

Seeing as how it would be legal, does anyone know of a shop/place/person in New South Wales, Australia, where I can get my PS3 downgraded for a price?

my ebay-bought 3.5fw PS3 hasn't been used since 3 days after I got it.

Thanks for any information you can give me.

Just buy the E3, you'd probably be charged more than it costs for one of those anyway.

Ozmodchips offers a downgrade service.

[JamesS]

cool, I've ordered an x3max from canada, I'll just have to see if it gets through customs.

Oh nice, I didn't even know that ozmodchips offer a downgrade service.

Thanks guys.

Ozmodchips offers a downgrade service.

You're in one of the few countries in the world you can D.grade without a dongle but considering the price ya might aswell get your own dongle, miles cheaper!

[JamesS]

Oh crap, I ordered the x3, not the e3..... that was a waste of money.

and Ozmodchips are in Queensland, not to mention the price as the last guy said.

I think I'll order an e3 now... and see if it actually arrives.

anyone else know if there is a downgrading place in Syd?

If the e3 doesn't arrive, I'll send it to queensland.

I think you'll find Ozmodchips are in Melbourne, Victoria.

I would hazard a guess that Quantronics might be able to do it seeing they (like Oz), were the original JB importers.

In any case post a report when you're done. I'd be interested in how you went.

[JamesS]

Oh, sorry, being stuck in the middle, I forget which store is in which compass direction.

10-13 days for *********** with my E3 card reader.

I'll give quantronics a call before work tomorrow, if I remember.

Might have to post a sticky later for people living in countries where $ony has made it difficult to downgrade ps3's.

will let you know how I go anyways.

**Edit: I will also call modsupplier (the 1 in queensland) and see if they downgrade too... just for the people who might be interested.

Hey guys..

I would just like to let all aussies know that as of next week I will be supplying a downgrade service..

Keep an eye on the "Buy/Sell/Trade" section on PSX -Scene after the weekend.. Should be early next week..

***PRICE***

$20 Plus shipping

or

If you are in Adelaide $20 on the spot downgrade

**********

But the best solution is to buy a dongle and do it yourself..

[JamesS]

sounds good, I might make a trip over in a couple of weeks if the e3 doesn't arrive, and if I can find a reason to justify the fuel.

$20 is an awesome price.
