So what jailbreak device would you recommend someone these days?

I've been away for awhile, so I really havent been keeping on top of all the new jb's that have been coming out for the past month and the downgrade solution for those that updated to 3.42 and 3.50..

A friend of mine has recently decided to give up netflix and downgrade to 3.41.. I've had purchased 2 p3free's in the past and havent had any problems with em.
just want to check with everyone here first to see if theres anything he'd be better off with? Didnt even check yet to see if p3free has a downgrade code

...lastley... The downgrade process isnt hard is it?
I know they blueray problem has been fixed a few days ago.. How would he make sure he gets the proper code? (he has old ps2 compatable phat)

The downgrade isn't that hard , you just need to follow the tutorial step by step.
There are many good jailbreak device , E3 Card reader , p3go , x3max , ps3 yes pro , ps3usbjailbreak . Just choose the cheaper one , Lightake is offering the E3 card reader for $12.99 .

p3free does have the downgrade

well about bd playback as you can see it has been fixed and its in WIP .maybe there will be a tool or something like that easier in near future
