Been out all day and watched a Blu ray with my son earlier. My partner went to bed so I thought ok ill jump on my ps3 for an hour. Well it loads up but my theme is missing, I think that's strange ill put it back on, so I go to the theme select menu and there's no themes there? So anyway thought wtf went to the games menu and the folder full of games is missing and I started to panic. Check saves and game data and it's all gone. 
Now I turned it on, went and boiled the kettle came back and clicked my user ID 10 seconds later. I looked on Internet and to format you have to select it from the menu and it takes some time? My partner and me have both been out all day and the ps3 hasn't been touched so I'm confused as to how or when it was formatted? It's a phat and I always turn the main power switch off on the back so it's been fully off all day until I turned it on about 20 mins ago. How can it format while being totally turned off? I'm gobsmacked and a little pissed off. It's not like the hundreds of hours I've accumulated while playing can be saved. I blame myself for this but as a ps+ user I have never saved my saves to the cloud and God I'm kicking myself now.
Anyway rant over I'm going to put my ps3 on ebay and stop playing games (probably change my mind in the morning)
