Ok everyone. So I just bought a brand new slim 160gb PS3 the other day. The firmware was 3.42 and it upgraded itself to 3.50. So right now I have official 3.50 firmware on my ps3. I have disabled internet on it so it cannot update to 3.55 for the time being.

I have quite a few questions:

1.) When available, should I get the PS3BREAK Downgrade 1.0/1.1/or1.3 ?
2.) Will my BLU-RAY still work after downgrading ?
3.) Will I still be able to play originals that I already own?
4.) Will I lose trophies, PSN, and online multiplayer ?
5.) Is there a website that lists the games that work on jailbroken ps3's?

My advice:

1) None of those, I recommend the ps3yes pro dongle.
2) Not downgraded myself but there are apparently a couple of fixes to reenable BD playback if yours stops working.
3) Yes you can play your original games but not online
4) Yes cos you wont be able to go online on a jailbroken ps3.
5) www.psjcl.com

I've posted in other thread that I dont like ps3break due to them have 3 dongles already, its what most ppl have gone for but still. I;d go for the ps3yes pro, its easy to use and they update the software pretty quickly.
Also it's ps3yes who reverse teh downgrade to use on their dongle which allowed others to convert to use on their dongles, so that a little plus.

Another thing i have not done is used the onlne KAN network thing which lets you play online without using psn. But you can only play with player who are also using the same thing, you cant play with those on official sony game servers.

If you must have a dongle (by which I mean, something with a plastic case that looks like a USB flash drive), then I would recommend the E3 card reader...it seems to have the best of all worlds; is uses Teensy 2.0 hex files (usually the teensy is the first to get new updates/hacks/etc), it is cheap, and I have not seen any complaints about quality.

Personally, I still prefer the real Teensy 2.0 just because I trust PJRC quality, and because the Teensy 2.0 has some as-yet unused features that may (or may not) be needed by future jailbreaks. It also has the most user-friendly flashing method I have ever seen on any dev board or JB adapter...a drag-n-drop app that is about 1.5MB, which works without installation, setup, or drivers...my grandmother can't remember her own name, but she could flash a teensy. The only real issues I have with the teensy are the lack of a plastic shell and somewhat limited memory (as yet, this has no effect on jailbreaking; devices with 1/2 the memory jailbreak easily). There is also the issue of shipping; they ship almost everywhere in the world, but it might cost a lot and take a lot of time to ship to some countries...while the E3 card reader is in stock at various stores around the world, so it should be better in this regard.

Oh, one other thing that probably does not matter...jailbreaking is a gray area of the law in many countries. Dedicated jailbreaking keys might be seized, stopped at borders, etc...dev boards like the teensy do not have this problem, as jailbreaking is just another function someone created to use with a device that already had thousands of other uses...and the devices are shipped without anything that could be considered illicit by any angle of any corrupt law.

If you want the ultimate solution, you're probably best off getting a dongle like E3 card reader/x3max that way you have all your bases covered. Because, when something big like downgrading comes out, even though the community created the code, the dongle cloners found the key first and started selling it. E3 was the first and then everyone slowly followed suite within the next 24-48hrs. The open-source solution came out sometime within the first 24-36hrs .
