The day before yesterday we shared a video showing a jailbroken PlayStation 3 (PS 3) running on Firmware 3.55 and today Geohot releases the actual jailbreak software for PS 3.
Getting to firmware 3.55 If you are already running firmware version 3.55, you can skip ahead, otherwise update via the Internet (easier) or via your flash drive (using the file above in the Original Firmware folder). Open the flash drive in your PC, create a folder in the root of the drive called PS3 (all capitals).
