PS3 n00b

Hey,

I was wondering a few things for the PS3 scene because me and my brother are interested in getting the 3D tv bundle for 300 bucks.

Anyhow I was originally interested in the 3ds but my bro said why not get something for the whole family. So with our saved up money we got a new Sony 40" TV. It was worth it honestly it was bundled with the tv media player and a hdmi cable however it's the EX model. We looked at another place this week and they had the BX model for literally the same price so we got a great deal in my opinion. I know a bit off topic but Sony makes great hdtvs let me tell you.

Anyways back to the PS3. I know the bundle will include a latest firmware perhaps that might be unable to hack or not.

We don't have that kind of power to spend on expensive jailbreakmes...

I'm asking is there an alternative solution? I know I heard u can jailbreak ps3s with iPods but that might be discontinued for all I know.

My simple question and objective is to hack the ps3 so I can play burned games and without having to buy something to hack it.

Softmodding I believe...


Thanks in advanced guys this community I know will always be the best place to rely on advice like this.

If anybody asks why were getting this bundle let me just say this. I know ps3 and xbox has exclusives but it all goes down to the bundle for one. We could use a tv it comes with because the tv we got is for the living room so I can't watch what I want on it as much as I want to. Also plain and simple the ps3 offers free online while xbox has online which u pay for.

Again thanks in advanced guys. :)

well yes, there is a high[font="Verdana, Tahoma, Arial,"] [/font]chance of it being shipped with a newer firmware, if it has 3.55+ firmware then there is no way of softmodding it!! the only solution FOR NOW is to hard mod by using a hardware flasher, either Progskeet or E3!! =]
but if it is 3.55 or less then is pretty easy to softmod!!
 
... Is there any info or anybody who has bought this bundle before to tell me what firmware it comes in?...

Also how old is the 3.55 firmware? Like is it a few months old firmware? If so I have a better chance because this bundle came out a few months ago...

I want this bundle no matter what though so I guess I'm going bak to retail if it doesn't work out.

GameStop sells some old ps3 games for 5-10 bucks I can do good with that until me and my bro have the power to go full retail...
 
if it came out later than april 2011 then it probably has 3.60
what bundle is it?
