Re: PS3 - How to turn it off?

I wasn't sure what to do since I won't be home for about 5 days. I guess I will leave it on standby, but what if a storm comes while I am away?

Re: PS3 - How to turn it off?

That's why you shut it off before you leave. Don't worry though, it is just an extra safety step I take to ensure my PS3's safety.

Standby, Sony even says in the manual to put it on standby rather than turning it completely off.

exactly!! turning the switch off in the back could do damage after awhile, I always leave min in stand by as I did with the PS3, there no need to touch the switch at all, even when I go vacation I leave it on standby. Flip the switch at you own risk.

I don't think it's quite that drastic.

Re: PS3 - How to turn it off?

I have mine set to go into standby mode after 5 hours of inactivity, otherwise it's always on. I never flip the switch unless I'm planning to unplug it.

I usually put it on standby and then flip the switch in the back. I wouldn't recommend flipping the switch without going into standby first.

I agree with everyone in this thread.

Re: PS3 - How to turn it off?

I usually just leave it on stand by like some others mentioned.

Though, if you didnt already know... I was told to never turn your PS3 off with the back switch if your Playstation is still on. I guess it can ruin it over time. The proper way to shut down your system is to. 1. Quit game 2. Turn off console through menu, controler, or holding the On button. Then, you can flip the back switch off.

Re: PS3 - How to turn it off?

how do you do standby?

Hold the reset button until it beeps a few times and goes red or hold down the "PS" button on the controller and select "Turn off console".
