Happy New Year Sony! Okay maybe not quite. But it is for us Ps3 owners who didn’t fall for the ole update trick or for those of us who did! Geohot, the famous iPhone hacker has done it, he’s broken through firmware 3.55 and posted the code publicy on his website.

To jailbreak your console all you need to do is get the jailbreak.zip file from Geohot’s site and flash it with the official 3.55 PS3 firmware update.

Last week Sony promised to release patches for security exploits via network update. But before the patches were ready, the PS3 firmware 3.55 jailbreak broke loose on the weekend. Anyone who knows a wee-bit about updating the game console using update files can perform this jailbreak.

This jailbreak contains a PUP file that is like a system update and installs like a regular system update using 3.55 firmware update file. I would advise that if you are going to use his expliot that you know a bit about programming and GNU/Linux based OS.

I personally haven’t tried the exploit, I am sticking with my 3.41 jailbroken unit. If you do try it please post here what you find.
