Top 3 Advantages of Jailbreaking Your PlayStation 3

PlayStation 3, Sony's flagship gaming console for now has been very successful in its long run. But one thing which may have troubled you when buying your PS3 is the price of its games which ranges from Rs. 2000 to Rs. 3000 usually. Because of this price, you will not be able to buy a lot of games for your PS3. Hackers developed a way to fix as they developed a way to jailbreak the PS3. First of all, I would like to clarify that only firmware versions up to 3.55 can be jailbroken.



Note: If you have a PS3 with firmware up to 4.31 and have a date code (located at the back of PS3)  from the following, your PS3 can be downgraded and then hacked:
(a) 6A (b) 6B (c) 6C (d) 6D (e) 7A (f) 7B (g) 7C (h) 7D (i) 8A (j) 8B (k) 8C (l) 8D (m) 9A (n) 9B (o) 9C (p) 9D (q) 0A (r) 0B (s) 0C (t) 0D

Moving on, you must be thinking that what are the advantages of jailbreaking your PS3? In this post, I will take you through them:

1) Backup Games


The Blu-Ray disks that you get are somewhat always near the risk. It may get a bit scratched or you may even lose it. For some lazy people, even changing the disks become a problem. Jailbreak your PS3 and you will have all the games at your hand. When you backup games, it minimizes the need of a Blu-ray disk and therefore keeps them safe and sound for whenever you need them. What's more, you can borrow a game from your friend, back up it and return it instantly.

2) Support of MKV Videos


PlayStation 3 also aims to remove the need of a DVD player and since it can be attached to a HD TV, you can watch a lot of HD content out there. You can buy some Blu-Ray disks and try them out on your PS3. But with the jailbreak, you can simply use the MKV files to run high quality HD content on your PS3. This removes the need of a DVD or a Blu-Ray player since PS3 itself helps you to run high quality MKV content on your High Definition TV. You can use the Multiman Showman software in a Jailbroken PS3 to run MKV.

3) Run Third-Party Software


When you jailbreak your PS3, you pave the way for the third-party software which enable you to make your PS3 much better. You can even install Linux. What more, you can add games like Angry Birds, Minesweeper, Sudoku, etc. There are hundreds and thousands of third party software for PS3 and they run only when your PS3 is jailbroken.

  1. Till date I knew present PS3 firmwares are un hackable. About downgrading, you can downgrade if you have upgraded from 3.5. But if ur PS3 came with say 4.20 or something, you cannot downgrade...

    Only way then is( only if your model allows it) to use E3 Flasher.. Its again a complicated process.. All hack PS3 4.20/4.25/4.30 are fake ...

    So be aware..
