[quote name='toocool17']Does anyone know what updating databases means? I turned on my ps3, put in socom and had to install the game. I did that then I had to do a system update. It did the first part up the update, like it downloaded it and then when it was done the screen just froze for a good 15 mintues. I turned off the system, and now it just says updating databases and is stuck at 0 percent. I tried calling sony but they are not accepting calls right now, any help would be great. I hope I am not screwed and have to buy a new ps3.[/quote]
I went through a similar situation before. After updating my database, the only thing that was lost was any playlists I had created and all my media files were restored to their original file name. Basically it is just a defrag utilty...
EDIT-Actually it sounds like you might be screwed after re-reading your post.
