Hacking Just curious on the hacking situation

[drfsupercenter]

Hey guys,

About a year ago I bought a used slim PS3 - was going to get the "super slim" but heard the ODEs weren't able to be installed without soldering, so I got a 2100 model slim instead, since I heard that was the newest one that was compatible with the solderless ODE.

However, I heard that the 3K3y was blocked before it even came out for the slims and that you can't update to the newest firmware or use PSN.

I expressly bought the slim and updated it to the newest FW at the time so that I could play my legal PSN games on it as well. I already own a CECHA01 running one of reBUG's custom firmwares, and the big downfall is not being able to use PSN.

Is it still worth holding onto this or should I just sell the thing and give up on my hopes of being able to make/play legit game backups while being online? I don't care that it won't be able to do unsigned code, that's what I have my CECHA01 for, I just want to be able to backup my games to a hard drive so I can have them all installed.

You got 2 PS3, one for piracy and one for legit online use. That sounds like the way you should be doing it. I thought sony blocked all the ode devices.

But I want to be able to get trophies on copied games.

So basically there's no point to having an ODE at all if you have to stay offline anyway? Mayaswell just use CFW at that point.
