I was told to get this... apparantly it allows u to play games from the HDD directly, no need for cd.

I bought a 320GB console - so it kinda makes sense to load games to the HDD.

My questions are:

Can I play online?
Do u get banned like with xbox if you have a flashed console on LIVE?
My console came with firmware version 3.50 - will this work?
Does it void manufacturers warranty?
 
No
Yes
Yes, by downgrading the firmware and maybe losing Bluray playback
Yes

:)
 
Can I play online? NO, because My console came with firmware version 3.50 - will this work? as you need firmware 3.55 to play online.

If you want to play online, then Jailbreak is not an option.
 
ok - let's forget about the jailbreak ...lol

Dowanna risk anything. The console is 3 days old and would like to explore all of it's options before making a decision.

Thanx guys...

Just shop around for game prices instead. I'm currently hooked on BFBC2 and picked it up for R200 from Musica. Just a warning on 2nd hand games, a lot of newer titled are using the "VIP" concept where the original owner gets access to add-ons, maps, kit for free and 2nd users need to pay for it. Just on BFBC2 alone, the 7 VIP backs would cost the 2nd user more than the purchase price of the game.
 
Jailbreak isn't an option for me atm. The games are too big, to back, to download and I dont have a big enough hdd anyway.

Well I think it's worth it if you don't care about PSN. Most PS3 games are less than 15gb. Could rent some comes and rip them :)
 
ok - so the consensus seems to be that if you not interested in PSN then you better off long term jailbreaking the PS. Will wait to decide which route I'll opt for.

My Xbox is flashed and I play 'backups' so was thinking of keeping the PS3 legal. lol

Be careful with which device you buy....some cause the bluray drive to stop working so do some research 1st.....we will be testing our product before our site is running again and will confirm
 
Why Jailbreak?

Just to pirate? Well, if that's your reason, then no. Don't do it.

AFAIAC all I am doing here is loading an original game to the original HDD in order to play directly from the HDD. I could say my reason is to preserve my lens. Surely this does not stop me from buying original games, load to the HDD, play from HDD and preserve both my original disc and lens. So let's say it's preserving my console's lifespan and PSN or LIVE is a add on which I haven't ventured into and don't think I will either. To me gaming is about having my bro's, friends, cousins etc etc over and we all play together enjoying ourselves.

I mean seriously, why else ship a gaming console with a 320GB HDD.

For all other media I have a PC and external HDD which I can link to the PS3 or Xbox and stream, I don't see why I should load movies or music onto my gaming consoles.
 
What does having your friends over have anything to do with jailbreaking?
