I've tried all those power button tricks before I posted. I got it exchanged but they won't give me a blue ray replacement as I didn't buy that movie form them, so I said well send it off and get it take out.

Another thing I want to add is when they were testing it. The store PS3 when he went to turn it off he used the power button. My PS3 never turned off using the power button (even when holding down). I always had to use the remote control to power it off. I figured that is how they designed it for ease. But I guess the Power button was always screwed from the start.

I haven't had a chance to test the replacement as I am at uni studying for exams. So fingers crossed when I return tonight it will work.

if from day one your power button on console didn't work that's a sign of a lemon.good thing you got it exchanged.hope this works fine.and congrats on your new PS3,,,what games do you ahve now?don't forget to play uncharted man if you like action adventure game with a brilliant story(after MGS4 that is ;) )

 

 

P.S. always quit your games first ,,then turn your PS3 off,,,,don't turn off the PS3 in the middle of the game,,,cause 3 beeps with yeloow light  says that PS3 was accesing harddrive and you intrupted it.(it might even freeze in this process)
