You’re wrong. PSN Patch + PSNinja + SEN Enabler allows jailbroken ps3 users to play online without being banned. But the best thing to do is convert your ps3 to DEX if you haven’t already through rebug toolbox. Once you downloaded those homebrew apps you’re good to go to play online and update your games, but im pretty sure you cant access PSN Store.
