ok. im going to buy a ps3 in a few hours. if it comes in a version lower than 3.55 should i update to ofw 3.55? or just accept the ofw 3.72? also, will f*ckpsn work on 3.72? what cfw should i use? please help. is there even a cfw out for 3.72? or should i just update to 3.6x or .70?
Hi. No FW above 3.55 is hacked.
If you buy a new ps3 you will probably get a higher FW.
when will there be a new cfw?
Currently undetermined. Anywhere from 1 day to never. Also Ive been reading other posts saying the new PS3's arent hackable... You might want to search CL or Ebay.
I wouldnt count on "never"... things are looking pretty bright right now.
Right now if you want a CFW, your best bet is to buy a used one from Gamestop or a pawn shop. Check the firmware under the system settings before you buy it. Install official firmware 3.55 from sony first, then install a custom firmware such as 3.55 KMEAW, or 3.55 Ultimate, or 3.55 REBUG. Do NOT install anything that says Wankiko. It caused a bunch of bricks. There are tons of guides out there as to how to get started, but if you run into trouble, just ask and someone will help you
There are ways to get hackable brand new PS3's.
First of all, look for 120 or 250GB slims, they will have FW 3.30 or 3.40 at most.
As for the 160/320gb, your best bet is getting a 320gb bundle that contains a game with FW 3.50 or lower. For example the GT5 bundle, or maybe the COD black ops bundle?
Avoid the 160/320gb without game as you cannot know which FW it will be and it'll probably be 3.60+ (which means unhackable, since it cannot be downgraded).
