It's easy! Just format a USB to FAT32, download the update file from PlayStation's official website into /PS3/UPDATE/, and run it via System Update in the Settings menu.

First, grab a USB stick and make sure it's formatted to FAT32. Then download the update file from the official PlayStation website and save it in a folder like this: /PS3/UPDATE/. Plug the USB into your PS3, go to System Update in the Settings menu, select Update via Storage Media, and follow the on-screen instructions!

You want to reinstall your PS3 system software? Just download the update from PlayStation, put it in a folder named /PS3/UPDATE/ on a USB stick, and install it through the System Update setting. Did this last month, worked like a charm!
