Lol, i have never done it, i havnt ever had a prompt to do it when i switch it on, nothing, didnt even know you could to be honest My XMB is quite slow when i access it while playing a game, does it help that? and the friends list is really really slow to load (although i think that has something to do with my connection speed). If i can fit all of my stuff (just over 250gb at last count) onto my external HDD for backup then ill give it a go

It never hurts to do a backup.

Just did this today cause I was getting a lot of freezes.
I have to say that my XMB is unbelievably faster than before. It feels fresh.

this can be done? i thought with all the firmware updates sony block/hid these features? i should give it a go my ps3 likes to randomly freeze then reset itself and wen i log in none of my friends load up i have to log in again the friends list loads to slow and the xmb freezes a bit

Just make sure you do a backup before you start.
That just reminded me.It's the 1st of the month so its backup day for me.
