Mine is not hackable, unless that new hack can be applied to any FW. Mine is running the latest.

Apparently, as long as the machine originally ran v3.55 or earlier of the firmware, it can be hacked. You'd need a hardware flasher to downgrade it to v3.55 though, from there it's a relatively simple process (from what I've read).

I thought that any firmware could be hacked and that mulitman, which is a backup manager, can also be applied.

New firmwares can be made into CFW, but the CFW can't be installed unless you're on an exploitable system.

Like I'm on 3.73 I think it is. And I've heard that in order to do most of the exploits u need to be on 3.55.

If your PS3 originally had 3.55 or earlier, you can downgrade it (with a hardware flashing device) to 3.55 to install the new CFW. They cannot sign/encrypt a CFW for anything newer than 3.55 due to the fact that Sony fixed the signing/encryption procedure after that.

I honestly have no idea what firmware it was running when I bought it.

I'm pretty sure 80GB phat would have shipped with some 2.xx version; even the first slim models didn't ship with 3.00. You could probably get a slightly better idea by checking the manufacture date against the version history.

I'm trying to get mine flashed, but since I'm not very sure of my skills in doing so, there's s guy on ps3hax.net from Detroit who does them, so I'm sending it to him to do it. He charges 50 which seems,kinda steep.
