DEX Explained
Most people want to be on DEX now since we can now real time edit our stats and mod games easier etc, most noobs think this is just a different cfw, no this is not DEX (Debug) is pretty much the Ps3 systems Sony and most game developers have to just there patches and games ALOT easier. DEX cannot just be installed it has to be flashed onto your NOR/NAND where your software is stored. Why don't we just buy DEX consoles? DEX Consoles cost thousands of dollars.
What is so good about DEX?
DEX brings us a lot more options and customization to our Ps3. Also Run Homebrew and ANY eboot signed FSELF with the SDK in ANY debug fw until the last one 4.11 Execute the last 3.6+ legit games in disk You can run homebrew and new games but with original disks NO BACKUPS because the eboots have to be signed again as FSELF. One of the best things most of us Cod People like about DEX (one of the biggest reasons most people are on DEX) is being able to change things in real time (with a Debug EBOOT.BIN on) DEX also brings us a lot more debug options (for the devs who actually use them and know what half of them are).
Why Isnt There A DEX FW For 4.41
DEX firmware isnt easy to get our hands on as Sony and Game Devs are supposed to be the only ones with DEX FW, We got DEX because some of Sony SDK got leaked and it got leaked into the right hands. (Dont know much more on how we got DEX)
Bad Things About DEX
Like i stated before DEX FW cannot run back ups (without some tricks up your sleeve) And im pretty sure DEX consoles get banned online faster (not sure about that, but its my theory) DEX also makes your console run its hardest causing the fans and the system to be louder and for some phat models YLOD
Can DEX Console's Go Online?
Yes DEX consoles can go online but when you convert to DEX your console id changes, console id is made up of a few things
000000010082000b1006cfa9d2f5a17b00000000000000000000000000000000 (ID is banned)
DEX (Debug Target Id Is 82) As you can see in the first 12 digits 000000010082
So to get your DEX Console online you simply get you console id and if you look above and see the 000000010082 you need yo change the last to numbers to your region in the graph below, hope i helped some of you noobs understand what DEX is and if you want to convert to DEX here is a link to DEREKTROTTER's thread that i actually used to convert to DEX You must login or register to view this content.

I highly doubt that this is the case come to think of it, because if it was, wouldn't they be easier to find? and wouldnt more people just sell them too?

No, the original Debugging Stations like the one me and SC58 have were originally sold for $10,000 to devs from Sony. BUT The console isn't worth all that, the software is. What essentially you got what when you paid for the console was...
Debug Station(DECH-xxxx) Console
ProDG Debugger and Target manager
The full SDK for every PS3 firmware revision
Documentation on how the CELL/RSX works and how to optimize code for it
SCE DevNet authorization account to get news and updates from Sony(this is why you can't just click update like with CECH consoles with DECH consoles, you need the Update URL and authorization account to do it.)

So in short no, converting to DEX will not make it worth thousands or even 1 thousand.

You're wrong about DEX consoles not being able to play "back-ups", a "back-up" is essentially just a game running from the hard drive that you transferred on there(different from PSN games but sort of the same). I mean why do you think there is an option like below...
*Debug Settings
-Transfer Rate Pacing for BD Emulator

I tried but like I said, you need the Update Server URL and a SCE DevNet Account which costs a lot of money. I tried different things but no go.

(TLD=2 letter abbreviation from above region, YYYY_MMDD is release date, MD5 is 32-digits long HASH)
The MD5 would be impossible to guess
