We already know that if we use the PS3 break ,E3 card reader or any other PS3 jailbreak items to downgrade the items,we will face the Blu-Ray playback problem, and lots of teams have annouced that their items has solved this problem, but actually none of them worked before, and now, Another good news released , this time is real , a complete method to solve the issue, but need your help.


A team named Project #PS3Bluray hopes to fix the problem with your help.
But they need from every PS3 players to solve the problem, because they need more data for analysis. All we need to do is just run an app which they developped in your PS3,and the app will collect some certain files related to Blu-Ray playback.It doesn't matter whether the Blu-Ray problem is affecting your console or not, your files are still can be used for analysis. After we provide enough data for them , the Blu-Ray playback will be fixed permanently.

If you are interested in helping them and also help to solve this problem, please take a look at these more details:

Note: All the files submitted for analysis do not contain any personal information or serial numbers and can't be traced back to you. It is perfectly safe and anonymous.No damage to your PS3.

Download: ProjectPS3bluray-DRLbackup_v001.zip

Email files (created by app) to: ProjectPS3bluray@gmail.com

And this is the call for help letter from them.


One of the most exciting recent developments is the ability to downgrade PS3s to previous firmwares. Unfortunately this has proven to have an unexpected side-effect for certain older ("phat") PS3s: After downgrading, systems with 256MB of flash RAM (NAND) lose the ability to play Blu-Ray movies. Despite what you may have heard or what has been promised by certain unscrupulous sellers of USB-dongles, there is no fix at this time.

That's why we have formed Project #PS3bluray and are trying hard to remedy this situation. However, we can't do it without you. To find a solution, we need your help! We are not asking for any money; all we need are a few short moments of your time. This is your chance to actively contribute and support the community, by helping find a solution!

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP:
To solve the Blu-Ray problem, we need a file from inside the PS3's NAND, specifically the DRL1/2-files located inside dev_flash3. DRL is short for "Drive Revocation List"; these files are reponsible for allowing Blu-Ray video playback.
In order to collect and analyze as many DRL files as possible from PS3s with working and non-working Blu-Ray playback, we have created an easy-to-use utility called DRLbackup, which automatically extracts DRL1/2 and creates a zip archive, which we'd then like you to send to us by email.
Please note that this file does not contain any personal information or serial numbers and can't be traced back to you. It is perfectly safe and anonymous.

USAGE:
1. Start your PS3 in Jailbreak mode
2. Put DRLbackup.pkg into the root of any FAT32 USB storage device and connect it to your PS3.
3. Install DRLbackup.pkg (under Game / Install Package Files), then run it from the XMB.
4. The screen will go black for a few seconds. When DRLbackup is done you will be returned to the XMB.
5. Verify 3 files were written to the USB drive: Copies of DRL1/DRL2, and a .zip file named like: devflash3_.zip
6. Send the zip-file to ProjectPS3bluray@gmail.com (keep the copies of DRL1/DRL2 as personal backup).

That's it, thank you for your time!
If all goes well, this may lead to a way to return Blu-Ray playback capability to all PS3s that have lost it.


ABOUT:
