I say yes it s worth it because we play games from any region and don t just wait for them to get localized so the best choice is to hack 3.55 or less always

+1.

Pros include playing games for free, playing games from an external drive, running all kinds of homebrew (e.g. emulators), Sony can't execute whatever code they want without warning you, and AsbestOS giving Linux back to PS3.
Cons include random freezing/crashing/corrupting errors, limited PSN access (only available through DNS trick), small chances of bricking (only a few reported for kmeaw's CFW, each attributed to user error), and a bit of paranoia regarding when/if Sony can ban hacked consoles (it's not happened yet).

Personally I don't think it's worth hacking yet - there're only a couple games I want to play, and LBP2 is better played online.

Well hacking meens you cant really use online.
So you need to chose between going online or playing free games that take forever to download.
I chose online but donno about you.

(serious answer: Yes. The benefits Sony promises you for not hacking are too small. Hacking is definitly the way to go)

Simple choice at the moment:

Full PSN access and gaming online VS. playing backups and homebrew

Its worth it if you have a second ps3 so the unhacked one you use to play online games, and the second hacked one is offline. You got that kind of cash to throw around? If you do send me some

Sure, just give us your bank details first. Then I can transfer it from the trees in the back garden.

Or, make the second PS3 you get one of the older, cheaper, second hand versions. That tends to save a few dollars.

My friend bought 3 PS3s just because of the hack. A PS3 for hacking, a PS3 to play online games, and another PS3 if the one for hacking gets banned he will then hack this one in the future.
