hmmm, yea it has to be 3.55 or less when new, if he bought his new at 3.60, its not possible to do as of now, in any way that i know of at least, i must of missed where he said was bought at 360
what if you put the good blue ray unit in the other console thats not banned, at least you would have a working unbanned console....and what ofw did that console start at, if 3.55 or below, you can flash it and use cfw............
if were me i would do this..........put the good blueray in the unbanned ps3 with ofw.........buy cobra ode which allows you to play usb backups on newer ofw's........you are using ofw, so you wont get banned for using cfw............drawbacks are it costs like 140 usd or so, i think its still in pre-order, and you cant use homebrew.......but can use all the ps3 backups from usb u want.........
you also could wait till another working method to get the console id off an ofw unit comes out
