this is some pretty good news but honestly how many ppl are still on 3.56 ofw
I would advise you to re-read. :) (i make the same mistake sometimes.)
3.56 meaning Factory Installed FW when they bough their PS3.
all for the hope of one not needing a flasher a slim hope but a hope none the less
*Here's to hoping for a usb thumb drive downgrade method using this new info.. :D
So maybe now I can stop telling people about the downgrading clause about what firmware came with their system.
i would love to see someone test this on a super slim :D
If this turns out to be true that you can install on any version of the PS3 including the ones with 3.6+ fw, it is huge news for the scene. It means that Sony is almost completely p0wned. All that remains is finding the keys for pup installation and the vsh.self keys for the 4.31 fw. Anything else?
If anyone out there is thinking about downgrading I personally would wait it out another month because it won't be much longer until we will be able to put CFW on almost any PS3 with OFW without a hardware flasher. At least wait until something more stable is released if you already own a hardware flasher. Great job to everyone working so hard in the PS3 scene. I for one am eternally grateful for everything being released. All I can think left to be done is emulating PS2 games.
Please don't rush out to buy a hardware flasher until somebody known and trustworthy tests it
