ah, ok. Go to "Settings" and then choose "About". (I hope the original us version uses similar names). There it will show you the current firmware version.
Sonys firmware update software will abort the update if a current firmware version is detected, so no you can't harm the device. |

A version of 1.0 will be the original firmware which would benefit from updating, 1.1 or later (geographical variants) don't need anything doing to them.
