Can turn off

Anyone else unable to turn it off and put it standby mode by using the on/off button under the disk slot? It turns on but i have to put it on standby by using the sixaxis.

 

I have no trouble turning the console with the button (off type thing its not exaclty a button is it lol) on the console

 

Yeah, i have to use the controller too, it's a pain.

 

I have had no trouble? but I genrally use the pad too tirn it off whilst i am actually gaming. But whilst I am actually in the front menus it turns off fine. If you hold your finger there for about 2 seconds it turns off.

 

I had this with mine until I reliased I have to press the powerbutton down for 4seconds for it to go into standby. I just use the PS button all the time now its easier as it saves getting out of bed

 

Yup to turn it off you have to keep pressing for a few seconds as it's not instantaneous. Alternatively as already mentioned you can use the PS or home button and choose turn of console in the menue that pops up.

 

I think i'll use the controller, don't want to hold it down too long as it resets the HD settings doesn't it?

 

Are you sure ? I would be surprised if it did.

 

Yeah if you hold it for around 5 seconds it reverts to default resolution, this might only be when you turn it on though.

Hmm ... I guess I will have to check what mine is set to when I get a chance.

 

Yeah your right. Nothing happens if you just touch it but hold it there and it turns off. Cheers for that.
