(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I've been browsing through the forums lately and as a jailbreaking newbie I'm still a little confused. I bought a ps3 on 3.55 ofw and it finally came in today, but I'm still not exactly sure what to do. Recently I found out the different types of CFWs called cex and dex, but the question what are the benefits of a DEX CFW over a CEX CFW since that seems to be the preferred option. And since all I plan to do with a jailbroken ps3 is to mod some games (both off and online) that I couldn't normally do with a stock ps3 and also hack trophies that are a pain for me that I want to plat.

You get to use more advanced home brew applications.
DEX opens up for new features in modding and hacking.

CEX is what all retail models come on, even jailbreaks. It's what you're used to.

DEX is a developer firmware.

Do you think CEX is better for me?

CEX is better for you if you completely new modding And are looking to do basic mods. You are also able to data transfer on CEX. I have come across people saying you are not able to rtm on CEX, well this is a lie, there are plenty of rtm tools which work on both cex and dex. It is also easier to connect a rtm tool while on CEX. There are tools though which only work on DEX,

Do you think DEX is better for me?

DEX is the best option if your main plan is to mod games, host lobbies etc. The process of connecting the tools is longer but it is worth it. There are also better protections for DEX to reduce the chance of getting banned online. DEX is also better if you want to learn about programming tools.

So basically, it all depends. If you would like to start in coding and mod lobbies, host game mods. Your best off with DEX but if you are new to Jailbreaks and PS3 Hacks then i would recommend you stick with "REX" Which is a combination of DEX and CEX and maybe then you could convert to DEX or stick with CEX depending on what you enjoyed and preferred.

Oh okay, I think I'll go straight to DEX then. It may be more advanced but it sounds to me I have a lower chance of getting banned which makes is a definite deal maker. And yeah I plan on hosting lobbies
