    Hardware In the Market for a Hackable PS3...Help?

    I think I just won the lottery. Just found a seller willing to sell me a BNIB PS3, model CECH-2501A with a date code of October 2010, for $200 cash. Just wanted to post here to confirm that this thing will come with an OFW of 3.40 or 3.50 as the charts on ps3devwiki indicate, so I don't go...

    Hardware In the Market for a Hackable PS3...Help?

    Hm. That's food for thought. So I can expect the same lifespan no matter which console I choose, so long as they're in good condition to begin with?

    Hardware In the Market for a Hackable PS3...Help?

    Ouch. Looks like it'll be $255 for the 2501 console, then. What are the meaningful differences between a 2500 and 2000 series console? Does the 65nm RSX in the 2000-series overheat much more frequently? Would a 2500 last significantly (at least 20%) longer?

    Hardware In the Market for a Hackable PS3...Help?

    Thanks for the advice! I'm actually located in Canada and am finding it difficult to get in touch with a reliable downgrading service here, so there was a possibility that I'd have to send it to the USA. An American moderator on another site has offered to obtain a CECH-2501A/B console and...

    Hardware In the Market for a Hackable PS3...Help?

    I hate to double-post, but I have a seller willing to sell me a CECH-2001A 120GB PS3 with a controller and one or two games for $140. Should I jump on it? Or wait to see if any of the other local sellers have a 2500-series model? I can get a CECH-2501B (says September 2010 on the console) with...

    Hardware In the Market for a Hackable PS3...Help?

    Thanks for the recommendations. I'll definitely turn my attention to getting a PS3 Slim. I have a few new questions, though: Which model is best? The 2501A? Or one of the 2000/2100 models? How long would you expect it to last? I'm hoping for at least 3 years if I can swing it. Are there...

    Hardware In the Market for a Hackable PS3...Help?

    So I'm in the market for a hackable PS3 and this guy seems to be a well-reviewed seller. The link is an example of one of his many listings, but I figured I'd do some research before pulling the trigger. Does it look legit? The price seems a little high for what is essentially a refurbished...

    Hacking "Why was my cart blocked?" "How do I unblock it?" "Firmware update?"

    I'm kind of curious: why do we need to update via the DS? Couldn't we just update our flashcart by connecting the microSD to our computers via USB and then downloading the latest firmware? Or is not updating a DS simply to ensure that you can always use your flashcart? I don't see how you can...
