How To Reset A Frozen PS3 SLIM?

Ok i just got my PS3 Slim, and everything has been working fine. But i downloaded a demo, Lost planet 2, and while loading the game it froze. I couldnt do anything. I tried holding down the PS button and nothing, then i tried a hard reset by holding down the power button on the Ps3, and still nothing, so i had to unplug the slim and plug it back again. Anyone know how to reset the ps3 slim incase it freezes? Seems like sony messed up removiing that power switch!

Its basically a standby button, when you press it and "turn it off", the red indicator light stays on, then when you press it to turn it on it turns green. But it seems if it freezes it cannot be turned off by anything, except to unplug the system. SUCKS!

This happened to me while plaing madden 10. just turn it off, from the power button next to the eject button. it works trust me.

ANyone else know how to Reset a Frozen PS3 Slim? Should i take it back and exhcnage it considering it has happend only after 2 days?

Forgot to say that there probably isnt other way. But dont exchange it. PS3s freeze from time to time. Especialy when surfing the nettommyas

Any other suggestions??

I've had my Slim lock up 3 different times on me like this. The ONLY way to turn it off is to unplug it. Damn you Sony for removing the power switch! :x

Hope this isnt a defect with the slims...Yeah i had a 80gb for a while and it froze once on me...but of course it had the power switch in the back to shut off the system...
