i'm getting into jail-breaking things. but i want to jailbreak an old PS3 that i had lying around the house. if i actually did jailbreak my PS3, what would i be able to do?
There's currently an exploit on the 4.82 OFW but it depends on your PS3 model you have. I've jailbroken mine a couple months ago, I was lucky enough to have a PS3 model that supported the exploit and so I installed CFW. I believe I have CFW REBUG 4.82.
Here's a video that I followed when I was jailbreaking my PS3.
