I should figure out what to do with my modded PS3 before the shop shuts down. I think the modded software pulls from the official store servers for some things like games?
AFAIK any ps3 is able to be Software hardmodded (though some sort of a program, permanent effect). There are a few series that allow to pull games off online for Xbox (some degraded and won't work anymore) and I bet something like this exists for ps3 too. Check consolemods.org. They have plenty of info there
Ooo thank you, I actually installed CFW on my PS3 already recently! I was lucky that my slim is a model that can be permanently CFW’d. I should do my 360 as well… only issue is, it doesn’t have HDMI so none of my screens work with it unless I get a capture card D:
Quick edit; oh, in my previous comment I was saying I should utilize the CFW to get some things that might not be available as easily when the store closes, which I believe in next year.
