Im looking for a PS3 slim to install cfw on and run hacks and homebrew, plus other stuff like game backups, emulators and some day run Linux too. I read that model numbers CECH-3000 and above can't be hacked or downgraded, and I need firmware 3.55 or below. Where can I find a PS3 slim with that firmware? I don't want to have to open up my console and start soldering because I have zero soldering experience and can't afford to replace a broken console. I want one that's already on 3.55 or below.
As I live in London (UK), my options are GAME or CeX (webuy). I also have Amazon and eBay. Can I get a PS3 slim w/ ofw ≥3.55 or below from any of those or do I have other options as well?
Also, I'm a complete noob to PS3 hacking but I've had experience hacking Nintendo consoles (Wii, Wii U and 3ds).
UPDATE: Since the release of PS3Xploit I just ran to CeX as soon as I could and got a CECH-2001A Slim.
