I was playing the other day and realized that there was 2 ways to quit your game and return to the XMB. I'm used to holding down the PS button on the controller and quitting the game that way. Which of the two do you use to quit?

I never touch my PS3. Only the occasional when I'm taking a disk out, and even then, I try not to touch it. :lol:

It seems to reset my console when I just press, and quit via the XMB. :? So, Ive stopped doing that and just hold the button and quit game or turn off the system from the main menu.

He not talking about touching the PS3, its if you HOLD the PS button or go to in-game XMB to quit game.

I use the XMB and then quit to the dashboard. I do this mainly because each time I finish playing a game I take the game out of the console.

I guess I am just a creature of habit and still use the old tried and true method.

Pause the game - tap the PS button - choose quit game :)
