guys, im having a really weird problem after upgrading my firmware to 2.30 i did so using the usb drive method. downloaded the .PUP file from here:

http://asia.playstation.com/sg/ps3/ps3_softupdate.htm#2

the update seems to be successful, i can play all games, watch movies etc, but now i cant seem to power off my ps3 using the front panel on/off switch. i've tried numerous times already... has anyone else encountered this problem?? i had to resort to booting a game, then pressing the PS button on my sixaxis to power off the console. im using a SG satin silver unit.

lol. yeah. i spent a good 20 seconds holding the power button. tried various thumb combinations even

we're able to turn it off using PS button in XMB?? i didnt know that. sweet, guess ill check it out tonight. thanks for the tip!

i just tried it yesterday.... pressing the PS button in XMB only shows the controllers battery status icon on the top right corner how do i shut down through XMB?

just wondering guys, can i skip firmware 2.35 and update directly to 2.40?

really hope they add native support for kmv and srt/sub files for divx...
