Q: What can a jailbroken Playstation 3 system do?

 A: When a PS3 is jailbroken, it allows the use of installing package files, which can range from Emulators or programs that allow you to install free games from a black market marketplace. You can also mod games (such as Call of Duty), download free movies (with the removal of Cinavia, which disallowed the downloading of movies onto the system after 3.10), and run FTP clients, and much more!

Q: Can I jailbreak 4.50, 4.55, 4.60?

A: No. You must downgrade first, and in order to downgrade you must have had a console on 3.55 at one time. Super slims cannot be jailbroken.

Q: Can I downgrade a super slim?

A: NO! For all models that can be downgraded, please refer to the list of slim models that can be downgraded. Note all phat models can be downgraded.
