Благодарение на потребителя holidaycart от форума на www.psx-scene.com вече имаме видео, на което се вижда процеса на сваляне на фърмуера на конзола Sony PlayStation 3 от 3.50 на 3.41.До колкото се разбира PS Downgrade се използва за препрограмиране на PS Jailbreak, който след това "вкарва " конзолата в сервизен режим.Самия процес на даунгрейд не излиза на екрана на телевизора.Препрограмирането става на компютъра през USB, но изисква програма и специални файлове, които в случая са дадени на един от дистрибуторите от производителя.За да се свалят програмата и двата файла са нужни серииния номер на оригиналния PS Jailbreak, както и тъй нареченият coupon code, който се получава заедно с PS Downgrade.Те се зареждат в друга програма наречена PS Updater.Видеото може да видите тук.Цялата процедура в стъпки:

По начина, по който работи PS Downgrade няма да е модчип, а само софтуер и можем да се надяваме, че скоро ще има свободен начин да накараме и другите модчипове за PS3 да вкарват конзолата в сервизен режим и съответно да може да се сваля версията на фърмуера.
