I was wondering whether or not current PS3 Slims come with firmware version 3.55 or below.
I just read that they are all supposed to come with version 1.0 and you're "forced" to update to the newest version (3.73 in this case if I'm not mistaken).
If that's to be so, can't I just decline the update and then use a USB device with the original 3.55 firmware from Sony's website and then apply the jailbreak? (Yes that's my reason). Even turning the system off, waiting for two bleeps, enter to safe mode and then perform both updates in succession?

I will gladly wait for your replies, thanks

they come with the last fw that was available whrn the console was built . probably 3,70 unless it was on the store shelf for several months

you can decline the update but will need to update if you connect the ps3 online , or want to use psn
jailbreaking is theft , it's illegal to steal software
sony removes old fw when new versions are available , only 3;72 is available to download , and you canno9t downgrade fw

the last ps3 that had fw 1.0 was the 60 gig built in 2006 , even 60 gigs sold a month later had version 1.1 installed
