Yep, you can downgrade PS3 firmware, but it's tricky and not officially supported by Sony. You'll need to find custom tools or revert to a specific firmware version using specialized hardware. Be cautious—doing this can void your warranty and mess up your console if not done correctly.

Yes, downgrading PS3 firmware is possible, but it's pretty risky. Typically, you'll need an E3 Flasher or similar hardware tool. Make sure to follow detailed guides and understand the risks involved.

Not worth the hassle, trust me. You could brick your PS3 or violate the terms of service. Stick with the latest firmware updates.
