I hear a lot of people say this, why is that butten even there then if it's so terrible? Is it some sort of last resort? I know when my PS3 doesn't connect to any blueTooth devices (my controllers mainly) I have to turn my PS3 off and then flip the switch but I don't actually turn the PS3 off by that switch (though I did once and I got the message the OP talked about). |
I wouldn't go to the extreme that these people go, but I agree with the idea. It is like a PC. You don't just pull the power cord, you go through the proper shutdown sequence first, then pull the power cord. The switch on the back is like pulling the power cord, and the PS3 does have a HDD, so using the normal shutdown is the better way to go to prevent system corruption.
