Wow you BRICKED IT LOL
Never ever EVER turn it off from the back
I learnt my lesson from doing that Hahaha

I did it once.. Am I screwed?
I mean, my PS3's destined to break someday right?

If that really bricked them, it wouldn't be there.

Yeah I know, just a little bit of sarcasm from my side :3
But I don't really think that switch is dangerous at all, I mean.. I turned off my PS2 EVERYTIME from that switch..
Oh, and I played like everyday, or at least 3-5 days a week on it for like 5-6 years, and it's still working fine :)

haha same i use to turn it off through the back on the PS2 all the time.

When i first got my PS3 i did the same thing until it got bricked, everything was black and i tried every solution, in the end had to ring up Sony

the thing was i only had my PS3 for like a few weeks and didn't do it as much as i did on the PS2.

Well, I did it only once as I said on the PS3, and that was when everything froze.. only happened once, a long time ago, so I had to turn it off from the switch.. but I found it simple to turn the PS3 off from the controller, and that way I don't have to actually walk to my PS3 either (I'm lazy yeah)

But it seems wierd why it's dangerous to turn it off from behind.. is it because PS3 is homophobic? or because it's a failure with the PS3? Either way, Sony has probably fixed this with the PS3 Slim :)
