(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Will it be a fw lower than 3.55? I am located in San Francisco. If this is possible does anyone have a store suggestion?

And I apologize to the mods in advance if this is the wrong place to post this. Thank you for your help guys.

Thats a good question... but your chances on getting one below or on 3.55 is probably low since 3.55 was a long ass time ago. Try buying one on 3.55 from ebay or something.

ps3s come on 3.61 and later now you would have to buy a older system from gamestop or something just ask to see the system first before buying and it being used will help you a lot on that part as they will be more willing to do it

I bought my slim a couple months ago from target and it was the new blacks op bundle. The firmware was on 3.40

I would buy one on ebay, but they jack the prices up by a hundred bucks for 3.55 fw. I was thinking target might be the place. Is there anyway to tell the firmware from the box?

I would try a store that probably doesn't move many PS3s. Like Kmart or radio shack.

You could try and get a used slim. When I got my new one it had 3.55 on it already, just get it from a store that with give you some kind of 6 month warranty.
