A friend of mine stopped by today and he let me know he is moving to Ti-land he wants to bring a PS3 to play Us games that he backs up. I know 4.11, from what I looked up on the forums, is not flash-able but with an E3 Nor flasher it is, I'm not paying 80$ to flash his system..... I wanted to know what the absolute lowest firmware is to flash, 3.55 I think, and what do most playstations ship with firmware wise (Walmart, gamestop (Aka eb games)). Would he be better off buying a ps3 on ebay with 3.55? It doesn't need online since he is into FPS or RPGS, I forgot which. He doesn't need to be online so that makes it easier.
the Firmware needs to be 3.55 or lower when u get it. If u try to downgrade when it wasn't ps3 is bricked. im not to sure what FW gamestop and other retail seller have, but i got mine about 6 months ago and it was on 3.50
