I have a simple question for you today. I found a guy that is selling a PS3 that is on 3.55 but it does not come with a Bluray Drive. I plan on jailbreaking the PS3 and just using it to play downloaded games so will I need a Bluray Drive to do this? I don't think I would but I saw one guy say some games require a disk to be in the drive in order to work. Is this true?

Thanks,
Honda

I don't think so, but then again my PS3 collects dust, so, yeah.... The guy may be referring to a swap-top PS2.

Well no you don't need a Blu-Ray drive but you do need the PKG's of the games you want to mod :y:

No, however, if at anytime you'd like to use a disc, you'd need it. :p

Can’t trickshot me!
well if you want to back up the games on the internal hard drive then yes you need it, also when updating you need it unless u have a bdb (bluray drive bypass) fw. another thing some games require a disk in the drive in order to start

You will need a logic board inside it, otherwise nothing will boot Winky Winky .
