When Every Retail PS3 is switched on, it checks if there is a new system update. It does this by going to this following link...

however, Debug PS3's cannot do this as they will update to retail firmware.

They check for system updates through a different URL,

We can use this link to download Debug firmware, but i do not know the effect of Debug firmware being installed on Retail PS3. If you click on the debug link, it give you a link to download the Debug 3.60 firmware


Here is a US 3.60 Debug Firmware Sample

nope, got 1 ps3, too scared to test this out, but if you go on youtube, you'll find tons of videos of people that have debug 3.15 and 3.41 firmwares on their ps3's, i use rebug firmware, its mixture between retail and debug

Someone should try 3.60 debug on retail console. If it works, Sony will be ass hurt although then they will just host a 3.61 at that address to catch us all

Ok just tried to install on a Retail console already on 3.60 via the recovery menu. It then displayed the error message "The data is corrupted. (8002F2E4)" So I guess the system doesn't let you install a debug firmware.
