there is no power switch on the slims . and if you have an older ps3 , you should be shutting down from the XMB menu , and not using the switch .

Darkelgta3  |  November 19th, 2010 at 10:53 pm

You Can shutdown your ps3 no need to hit the switch as for reset why would you need to reset it if it freezes you wouldn’t be able to access that menu anyway.

What do you mean wear and tear on the power switch?

Also fuzzy there is a power button on the slims, that could be what they mean. the original ps3′s were heat sensitive buttons.

But you are right you should be shutting down from the menu just pushing the switch has the possibility to damage the HDD (Hard Disk Drive).

@2 and 3: This is in the PSP section, not PS3.

@1: I cant find any posted under your name

“What do you mean wear and tear on the power switch?”

I thought I made it very clear but since you guys keep talking about PS3 in the PSP section… PSP needs options in its in-game menu to shutdown/sleep/restart, to go with the options to pause/quit game. As well as toggling bluetooth

I actually thought it was about PS3 too when I first read it, due to the mention of the PS3 controller in the brief.

It’s hard to get the message across clearly with such a low character limit.

Anyway, +1, just to make up for some of the people who misunderstood your post

Lexiare  |  November 20th, 2010 at 1:30 pm

Very True PSP also needs a “Shutdown etc” in the XMB Like PS3 has. +1

fuzzyclutter  |  November 21st, 2010 at 1:40 am

well yeah … wouldnt be the first time something was in the wrong section. saw ps home and controller TITLE : Reduce wear on PSP power switch .

Senjutsu_Dav  |  November 21st, 2010 at 3:28 am

useless…

Darkelgta3  |  November 21st, 2010 at 12:55 pm

well my bad should not have mentioned the ps3 at all in your post that is why it is getting voted down, mention anything about the ps3 and people think it is for the ps3.

but i think the switch is built to last My psp is a 2000 and it is still working just fine, i just wish they could make all games work well.

I got god of war ghost of sparta and the lag is terrible on my psp 2000.

um, for the fat systems, why would you shutdown via switch in back, you hold the soft-Heat sensitive switch in front till shutdown

Techni  |  November 22nd, 2010 at 3:08 am

“should not have mentioned the ps3 at all in your post t”

Except one of the main reasons is using PS3 controllers on PSP Go

“but i think the switch is built to last ”

The switch was only mentioned cause the admins wont accept ideas unless you keep rewording them

“um, for the fat systems, why would you shutdown via switch in back, you hold the soft-Heat sensitive switch in front till shutdown”

Did you not read anything in this thread? It’s about PSP not PS3.

Techni  |  November 22nd, 2010 at 3:09 am

Its not my fault people arent reading the section

Darkelgta3  |  November 22nd, 2010 at 8:22 pm

rewarding them? interesting

shmocito  |  November 22nd, 2010 at 11:54 pm

Make sure you read that this is for the PSP the handheld system not the PS3 =^)

Lugoves  |  November 23rd, 2010 at 11:31 am

Uh, yea, for the PSP I’d use an xmb shutdown if it had one, I might use a “Shutdown after finishing download..” as well. lol It shouldn’t be too difficult to add the former to a software update.

JoeDierte  |  November 28th, 2010 at 10:49 pm

PS3 Fats: Press and hold power button 5 seconds to reset from crash.

PS3 Slims: Press and hold power button 5 seconds to reset from crash.

I always use the PS button to put my PS3 in sleep mode. Press and hold PS button to see options.

JoeDierte  |  November 28th, 2010 at 10:50 pm

The PSP can be set to go to sleep after X number of minutes if inactive.

SukiNihon  |  November 29th, 2010 at 2:28 am

@17: JoeDierte: Read what you’re replying to. This is a PSP topic not a PS3 one. Its been repeated MANY times in this thread.

Nor is the sleep timer the same thing.

Fylian  |  November 29th, 2010 at 10:58 pm

+1 Vote up. I’d also like to see how much battery life my DS3 has left when i’m playing my PSPgo and press the PS button. Bluetooth toggle would be nice too.

xXSoul_EaterXx  |  November 30th, 2010 at 9:44 pm

I know what you mean. The power switch of my psp of about 4 years isnt really as responsive as it should be. Instead im sliding the power switch about 3 times just to put it in sleep mode.

zekececil14  |  June 9th, 2011 at 9:31 pm

I hate the switch anyway. If you put it on hold, it is so easy to accidentally turn it off while taking it off hold.
