It is very easy to jailbreak your PlayStation if you have not used the system update to update your PlayStation to a version higher than OFW 3.55. You do not need to buy any special devices to jailbreak your PlayStation, or pay for any special software. Everything you need is free to download. You will need a USB Flash Drive and a PC.

If you have a PlayStation with a firmware version newer/higher than 3.55 it is still possible to jailbreak it, but it is a lot more involved and does require the purchase of hardware.

There are different Custom Firmware (CFW) available. Rogero is a very popular CFW. Rebug is also very popular. Last we knew, Kmeaw firmware is no longer being developed. Many feel that a CFW is a better option as opposed to an Optical Drive Emulator.

For a PS3 with factory firmware 3.55 or older, and for a PS3 that is already running Rogero custom firmware, the guide Update Rogero PS3 Custom Firmware has step by step instructions for flashing the CFW on your PS3.

If you have a PlayStation with a firmware version newer/higher than 3.55 it is still possible to jailbreak it, but it is a lot more involved and does require the purchase of hardware. The process for jailbreaking in this scenario is _not_ covered here.
