REALLY? Are you sure?
That sucks if true.

And I say: Backup!
Downloading right away.
Methings I will wait to implement any patches that come down the pike, at least until I better understand how back-up and stuff works on the PS3...
And how exactly do you perform this update? I was informed it existed but there was no prompt to download it or anything.
Just FYI its being reported on various sites and forums (example) that deleting your profile is a required step to activate the update. It's not mandatory - its optional and only necessary if you have experienced any issues caused by having a large friends list (anything over 50). If your profile is corrupt there's only one way to fix it... :(
If you had over 50 friends and didn't experience any trouble then you might be ok (hence the "strongly recommended" in the update information)...
The patch includes other fixes as well including improved music playback when using 3rd-party user installed hard drives.
Apparently this is the exact wording of the notes in the update. Fetched it from the link Crob provided:
"If at any time you have had over 50 users in your friends list whilst playing WipEout HD, it is possible that your saved data has become corrupted.
If this situation applies to you, we strongly recommend that once this update has installed you quit the game and delete your saved data using the saved data utility in the XMB, then re-launch the game to create a new profile."

Wondering about this update too. I only have 15 on my friends list, the announcement talk about the update, but nothing downloads when I go online.
Here are the in-game announcements that are from the US version, no update as of yet for the US version though :(

A small percentage of our users have been experiencing issues with the game after signing into PSN with more than 50 Friends in their profile. Although this issue is resolved with the latest update, we are unable to fix game profiles that have become corrupted. Therefore we are advising anybody who had more than 50 Friends to delete their old profile and create a new one. Deleting your profile will not affect your collected trophies or online records, but will reset your campaign mode progress, team loyalties, and in-game settings. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
In addition to the above, the update also improves Music playback and Custom Playlistplayback.
Online Multiplayer stability and accurate tracking of Tournament scores has also been improved.
It is now possible to manually swith between Tournament End Race Results in Online Multiplayer, using the SQUARE button.
