Check Wii Serial Number For Mod

Please forgive my newbieness, but I have a few questions about hacking the PS3. I am new to hacking video game consoles - I have a Wii which I hacked via softmod, and I also own an unhacked PS3, which I own a sizable amount of digital games which I paid for (downloaded from the PSN Store).
As far as I understand, there is no softmod for the PS3, and I need to use a USB dongle in order to hack it. So my questions are: Are there any downsides or risks to hacking the PS3? Is it possible that I may brick my PS3? Will I still be able to play the games which I purchased for money (from the PSN Store), in addition to game 'backups' (ie downloaded from the internet)?

Omnisphere challenge code keygen download free. Which dongle is the best one to use and any recommendations on where to get it? Once you hack your PS3, is it relatively hassle free? I mean, can you simply play any backed up games out there or do you have to download certain patches to play certain games, etc. My System Software on my PS3 is currently 4.81 Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Mar 02, 2007 Dont worry I'm not asking you all for your serial numbers on the bottom of your Wii's! What I would like to know is how your Wii serial number starts. Does it include E and U somewhere in the first 4 digits? Mine starts something like this LEH XXXXXXXX, I'm talking about PAL Wii's not NTSC ones which start like this LU XXXXXXXX. You can check this by looking at the serial number and making sure there isn't a KM in it. If there is, you can brick by updating to 4.2.). *Updated Wii Mod Batch.
