    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?

      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.

        Man there are no flashers... now what are we going to do for vd
        I'm sure there's plenty of prostitutes you could pay if you really want vd.
        yea but will they take psn cards
        Depends on what area of a hooker you would use to redeem them.

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

          If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

            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.

                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.

                        Hold the power button until it beeps.

                              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.

                                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".
