(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ok, so I was dumb and updated to 3.55, I know I can't downgrade, BUT is there a way to completely format my ps3's HD and then re-install an older firmware?

NO.

the updates you download update your firmware on the ps3 cpu. your harddrive doesn't get updated ...

best advice is to not update your 3.55 ever and wait until someone figures out how to hack it.

I had to wait over a month just for my 3.50 to come out. pretty long time if you enjoy online gaming.

but i'm over it now. The JB is way more worth it.
