please advice.. any help appriciated..

nah it wont format it, but they'll probably come up as corrupt files, if the ps3 reads them at all ahha. my ipinion would be not to update it , just wait til the 3.55 is fully hacked .. with backup manager .

IT wont be formatted, Its only ever formatted when downgrading or data transferring. But those games you have backed up will remiain unplayable until backups are enabled on 3.55
