Fresh PS3 - my jb options?

[dynde87]

Hi guys

Okay, so I was one of the quick draws on that pesky, untested CFW that bricked a lot of consoles. (not blaming waninkoko - it is, of course, totally my own fault)

However, now I'm buying a Slim 320gb - which I believe comes with 3.42.

So can anyone tell me exactly, what options I have.

I'm interested in getting a CFW up and running, with the capability to run backups. Is the best way to accomplish this to just update to 3.55 OFW and then service mode update to one of the CWFs? (and which one?)

And another thing, I'm not sure I totally understand the whole pkg'ing thing.

Have I understood it correctly, when I say, that it's now possible to .pkg a game folder and run it directly off the XMB - without the need of a backup manager? Can anyone link me something to accomplish this?

And I'm sorry, that all this information might be available already on this board, but it's moving very fast, and the information is all spread out, so I just wanted to get a clear cut answer - sorry if I offend anyone with this approach.
