What is a Jailbroken PS3?
It is a PS3 with a custom firmware installed which allows unauthorized code execution so you can run homebrew apps. It bypasses a system security check using a memory exploit which occurs with USB devices that allows the execution of unsigned code.
What are the advantages and disadvantages
of having a Jailbroken PS3?
Advantages:
You can backup your game discs in PS3 built in storage. No need to worry about changing discs all the time whenever you want to load a new game. Also the game loads very faster than when loading from disc. In most citys PS3 games are available for renting, you can rent and copy the disc onto your PS3 or you can download them online and transfer it to your Ps3.
MKV format does not need any introduction for the movie lovers. The main drawback for PS3 is it can't play MKV videos. Showtime is a app for Jailbroken PS3's, it can play 1080p HD videos.
If you are a developer you can do magic with PS3 Linux (Ubuntu) can be installed on PS3.
Disadvantages:
The main disadvantage of PS3 Jailbreak is going online, there is a chance of being banned off of the PSN. You can unban yourself but you will have to buy a new console I.D.
If you have a Jailbroken PS3 you cant update it to latest the original firmware, because the latest original firmware replaces the Jailbroken custom firmware and removes the Jailbreak. PS3 firmware regularly updates to patch Jailbreak custom firmware to stop the service, so when this happens you are stuck waiting for the custom firmware update to match the original firmware update.
What is the difference between CEX and DEX?
CEX is what all retail models come on, it is what you are used to seeing when you play your PS3, and I highly recommend that if you are completely new to modding that you stay with it until you are comfortable using your Jailbroken console. You CAN still RTM using CEX, RTM mod tools are actually easier to connect to CEX.
DEX to put simply is developer firmware. It is also good if you want to learn more about programming tools.
^^IN OTHER WORDS^^ Long Story Short
CEX is like for the New people who is new to Modding and Less Ban on CEX.
DEX is for the people who use to Modding,and you can get banned easy on DEX if you don't know what you are doing
