first post here... new member... never owned a psp before.

i just bought a psp 3000 (ratchet and clank bundle). i ordered it so i havent received it yet. i was going to order a psp 2000 piano black but after reading this and other threads, i found out that the newer ones cant be hacked yet so i just went with the 3000. now, since i bought the 3000, im hoping something will materialize with this new gripshift exploit which will allow CFW to be run on the 3000 model. furthermore, i would expect sony to fix this exploit in later official firmware updates (which is why i bought my 3000 NOW). now my questions: what should i NOT do once i receive my psp 3000 so i will be able to mod it with CFW later when that time comes? how is firmware updated on the psp? is it force updated whenever the psp goes online (like the ps3)? i just really want to know how to avoid upgrading the firmware on the unit so im not screwed later on... or if it is even necessary to avoid updating it. i know downgrading official firmwares were possible on the 2000 model, but the new motherboard is a whole new beast, isnt it? so downgrading might not be possible with the new motherboard, correct? ANY SUGGESTIONS on what to do, not to do, be aware of, etc. when i receive my psp 3000 are GREATLY APPRECIATED! Thanks!
