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.
