Hi
I'm thinking a bit on some things. I currently have a PS3 which I have installed the 3.55 CFW on. Has about 30 games on the hard disk. But now FIFA 12 is soon here and I want to play that game. So I am thinking of updating to OFW 3.70.
What should I do to be safe?
Played a bit online when it worked with CFW, will I be banned now? Any way to check if i banned?
Or should i buy a brand new PS3?

Anyways if you have the money of shelling out 250 + 59.99 be my guess
If not then just update if you want to play the game so bad
the choice is up to you at the end of the day
First off 30 games is overkill. Most good games take a good 100+ hours to master and that's just the first time around. I think if the game is worth it then upgrade to 3.70. I'm sure there will be an easy way to get back to CFW down the road. Heck, the 3.60 SDK just got leaked. You see I haven't installed CFW on my PS3 due to the fact I want to keep OtherOS and my customized YDL. So I understand where you are coming from. If you can find more enjoyment in a single game then 30 then I would flash and play.
If/When you decide to update YOUR PS3due to ONE game that came out.............please...............DO NOT come back here all bitchy and whiny about missing your old setup and wanting to know how quick you will be able downgrade your system! I watched it happen with several people when 3.56 hit.
One guy in particular updated strictly for PSN. Then he decided he wanted 3.55 back. He posted at least twice per day demanding a downgrade or new CFW until he was threatened with being banned.
He finally came across a deal that he was able to sell his updated PS3 and bought a used PS3 with 3.55. He then started posting about demanding a way onto PSN with the current CFW (again, until he was threatened with being banned from the site). He lasted 3 more weeks on CFW and decided to update again to the current (at the time) OFW just to be able to play online.
That is the "long" of it.
The "short" of it is............
At the end of the day, it is your decision and your system. Don't come back whining about the choice you made just for one game.
Personally, I would wait for a bit.
I have several hundred games sitting in my library (yes I actually own the games I play (they are not all PS3 games)) and have thought about buying a new/used PS3 for one particular game.
I have NEVER considered updating. As Darkman stated, if you have the means and desire........buy a second one for the newer games.
Just don't update it now and regret it later. ;)
why do you atack the guy? no, you prob will not be banned, there are no reports to the date of banning of psn, so you will be safe...
he just wants to play fifa 12, so am i, and i want to play disgaea 4, resistance 3, uncharted 3, skyrim, dark souls.... i understand myself the point, i dont have money, i have 71 games in my hd, most of them pending to be played, but the games that are coming are just too good to miss... dark souls dear god, uncharted 3!! oh and i cant play res 3... it is terrible, and the scene has all of my respects and thanks... i will just wait to uncharted 3, if nothing happens, i will have to update... (so sad....)
Sorry to hijack the thread......Can anyone tell me how to upgrade to OFW from CFW?
