Just bought a slim with 3.56

[bruin27]

This is my first time owning a ps3 and on this forum.. I read the thread that there is no JB after 3.55 but i noticed it expired back in 2011. Other sites seem to have JB for every FM up to 4.25. Wanted to check with you guys as to what my options are on 3.56.

Thanks in advance.

If it shipped with 3.56 you have no options. If it shipped with a lower firmware you'd have to buy a hardware flasher like progskeet or e3 flasher

And piece of advice - don't get PS3 news from youtube, survey sites, low member forums, etc, etc - they're all scams

well this sucks..guess i gotta sell this thing... im sticking to xbox 360

If you can hold off for a month before selling it I would. There's some rumors floating that have some basis in fact. It's still sketchy on the details but signs are pointing to a 4.21 custom firmware.

You should have just bought a 3.55 ps3 and then jailbreak it.

Some people from Youtube will give you a file saying its CFW but, at best it's an official update or worst, will brick your PS3. I don't trust anyone on Youtube. Most of them are trying to make money off of you by using survey sites with no actual download.

I'd run MinVerCheck just to be sure the lowest firmware that PS3 can run. Some stores like Best Buy were told by Sony to manually update their stock of PS3s after the first JailBreak. It's a long shot.

Also you might want to check stores like GameStop that sell used PS3s. You can tell them you'd like to check the PS3 out before purchase. You might get lucky.
