Additionally, a video showing a 3.50 to 3.41 PlayStation 3 downgrade in what is being called the world's first PS3 downgrader (excluding Infectus, of course) is available courtesy of
Disjod below stating that the
software which appears to utilize the
PS3 Factory/Service Mode requires an original PS JailBreak mod-chip.
To quote: "PS Downgrade is not a new chip, but it is the much anticipated software update to the original PSJailbreak chip. The update will be available for customers who have a valid serial, of the original PSJailbreak chip.
Below is a FAQ regarding the PS Downgrade:
Q: Is PS Downgrade easy to install?
A: Yes, it installs off your pc to your PS Jailbreak in seconds.
Q: Does it permanently modify my console?
A: No of course not, all it does is downgrade your firmware to a previous version. At any time you can upgrade you firmware as usual.
Q: How do you install PS Downgrade?
A: Please consult our downloads page for setup instructions.
Q: What is the warranty?
A: PS downgrade is a 1 time downgrade. Please make sure you use properly. If your device is defective it will be covered under our 1 year worry free warranty.
It's interesting to note, that the downgrade can only be used once. Our source explained "1 time downgrade, cannot downgrade more then once, or to a lower firmware after you choose which firmware"
Another website has also surfaced, www.ps-downgrade.com. This one showcases the following video, offering visual evidence of the downgrade. The site was up prior to any news being posted and uses similar graphics to PSDowngrade.com which leads us to believe it is another official partner.
