But whoah, whoah, hold on there, skipper. You see, unlike the PSP where firmware updates didn't really offer too much, the PS3 is a completely different beast. Read more..

Totally worth it. Blu-ray Media will drop in prices as always. Can't afford it still? Well get a bigger HDD and play from there. ;)

First, the firmware has not been cracked. There was a leak of the $DK for the PS3. After that an exploit was found in the XMB on certain firmware versions (1.00 to 1.11). The exploit allows back-up media to BOOT, but not run at this time.
