Do you turn off your system when you have a game still loaded or do you quit the game first and then turn off your system? Whichever method you do use, is it bad to turn off the system while your in a game such as a menu in the game or something? Just wondering thanks for your comments.

:roll: i always quit the game, its only an extra 5 seconds.

if you turn it off with the game still runnign you could corrupt save data, but only if your saving.

also as i stated in your other, other topic, you should eject the disc b4 you shut it off.

I have always shut off my system while the game is running(not while saving though), never ever hurt my systems before. Is it ok to turn off the tv while a tv show is on ? is it ok to turn off your cd player while music is playing ? these are very advanced electronics they have to account for anything a human may do to it. also notice that when you shut it off while a game is playing the system doesnt turn off immediately, thats the system doing a quick shut down.

Well what i do is just yank the power cord out the socket, yeah my ps3 doesn't make to good noise now haha jk. I mean it says not to turn off your system when you save it so anytime otherwise i think its pretty safe so eitherway hit your PS button or walk up to your system hit eject and push power off for 3 seconds.

I never turn my system off and it always has a disc of some kind in the drive. I have had the power go off while a game was playing and haven't had a problem.

Had my system since launch and have never shut the game down before turning the system off. When I'm done playing I hit the PS button on the SIXAXIS, go to "Turn off system", and pass out.
