Hi scott, welcome to TSF.

It might sometimes do that if the console was turned off before the update was complete.

If you don't want to lose your contents, now would be a nice time to back it up. (System > Back up)

How to do a hard reset (will erase everything off the drive)

1. Flip the switch on the back of the console to off, then flick it back on.
2. Hold the power button down until you hear 3 beeps
3. Go through the set-up steps, then do a full format. (System > Format)
4. Restore your backup data.

Most often this solves problems associated with corrupt updates. If it doesn't, you can contact Sony and they'll help you sort it out.
