@jjk24
First of all, I don't think he's being arrogant, he just doesn't want misleading information from people who don't know what they're talking about.
Second, write like an adult. You're supposed to be trying to help, not typing encrypted code.

@stanlee303
In my opinion, jailbreaking is always a good idea unless you plan to play online. The issue now is whether jailbreaking is a viable option for you. What firmware are you on currently (you can check that in system information or settings or something. Shouldn't be too hard to find)? And what firmware did your console come with? Is it a slim or one of the bigger, older models?

Thank you noctis this is not the first time you've given me advice and I trust it I have also met you on other forums and you give Remarkable adive my system Version is 4.46 and its a ps3 FAT

@Noctis got a super slim though its slightly new. Its cech 4xxx nd firmware 4.xx If i jailbreak would i still the cd games?

@stanlee303
There's hope for your console, but there's hardware tinkering involved. Can't help you as I'm currently serving my country in enugu, but if you're in lagos you can probably take it to oshodi or something. Unless you think can do it yourself in which case you'll need an E3 flasher. Its used to reset your console to the factory firmware version since you can't jailbreak any console over OFW 3.55. I'm sure I've seen a thread before with someone advertising E3 flashers on this site so search a bit and you'll be fine.

@leunamme93
As far as I know, there's no way to jailbreak the new consoles. You'll have to rely on trading used games or you can sell your console and buy a used, already jailbroken console. Good luck dude.

So do I really need an an e3 flasher the jailbreak for 4.46 is out you need no Flasher (I think)

You're confusing 4.46 CFW with 4.46 jailbreak. To upgrade to 4.46 CFW, you either have to be on an earlier version of CFW or on 3.55 or lower OFW. CFW means Custom Firmware, as in a hacked version of the OFW (original firmware). There is currently no way to jailbreak any console on OFW 3.55 or higher. I'd explain further but I'm tied up currently. Read the info on the site carefully and you'll find what you need. Bottomline though is yes, you still need an E3 flasher.

@noctis what do you think? http://Ps3jail.com

I dunno dude, I don't know this site, and I've never trusted any site that makes you take a survey before you can download files. Maybe try ps3hacks.com, ps3hax.net or ps3iso.com (the download and forum sections).

I think the OP is just asking if he should jailbreak his console or not. A professional should give the pros and cons of jail break.

bigiyaro: I think the OP is just asking if he should jailbreak his console or not. A professional should give the pros and cons of jail break.

A professional already did, only con is no online gaming, and I guess maybe you can brick your console if you don't know what you're doing.

Don't trust sites that allow Survey
They. Lie and cheat (some do) there's a certain Website that I joined before you can download Anything Via PS3 when I joined they asked me for my Email I put it they then said we sent a confirmation code to you when I went to my Email they were saying Password incorrect" when I tried forgot password they then told me to input the last 4 digits of my Number : 9363 I put it but they then redirected me to input it agn but they showed the website Name and they said I should input the Number this. Is why I don't try sites with surverys

Check the sites I suggested anyway. I spoke to a friend and he says there is indeed a jailbreak for all versions of OFW and CFW. I cant do the research now cos I'm on my mobile but it shouldn't be too hard to find especially on those sites.

Thanks. For the Advice do you have a jailbroken ps3

Yup.

What games do you have and where do you download from

I've had a ton of games over the years, I don't even remember which ones I have now. Assassin's creed 3 and Assassin's Creed Revelations, God of War Ascension, Metal Gear Rising, Killzone 3, PES 13 and FIFA 13...I know I have a few others on my external HD. I always download my games from torrent sites but you need a good internet connection with decent speeds and download limits. Unfortunately magic sim no longer works.

There are Many Torrent sites which I know Like Ubuntu, Isohunt, torrentz.eu, and etc Download Speed and internet connection is not a problem My internet Connection which Is (IPNX) can do the job

I guess you're all set then. Good luck.

Do you have to hack your ps3 to play soft copies

By softcopy do you mean backups? If you do then the answer is yes, you need to jailbreak your console to download games to your harddrive. Unless you want to open a Playstation Network account and PAY for the games you download.

They Make you pay for practically anything... I hate PSN if only it was like xbox live

Jailbreak all the way

@Stanlee303....I have been downloading cfw 4.46 files, buh all of them are rar passworded...can I give u my email address, so u send the one u have to my box...I'll appreciate it

@Noctis....am based in Enugu....how can I get dem games u mentioned?

I'm only serving here, my ps3 and all my games are in lagos. You'll have to download.

Noctis: I'm only serving here, my ps3 and all my games are in lagos. You'll have to download.

Please give me a link, so I can download...I don't have the slightest idea, ones I google end up telling tales!

Download and install bittorrent (2mb maybe). Then go to kat.ph and search for the ps3 game you want or click "browse" and scroll down for games - ps3 section then find a game you want. Click on download torrent that's pretty much it. Remember, the more seeds a torrent has, the faster it'll download.

@noctis my guy is it directly or via flash drive
