Why would my PS3 take 6 hours to power down?

Last night I was playing Pure, single player no online. I went through the usual shutdown procedures when I was done. Pressed the PS button on the controller, selected quit game, went to menu, pressed PS button again and selected turn off console. The console shut down, and as usual saw the green light blinking, signalling that it was shuting down. I got up, and left the room. Went to sleep.

Woke up this morning and went to the living room and saw that the green light was still blinking. What?? The whole time I was in bed, for 6.5 hours, the machine was still powering down? Is this normal??? I pressed the power button next to the eject button, but nothing happened, I held down on it, but nothing. I pressed the PS button on the controlled, and nothing. Finnaly I did a hard shut down, by turning off the console from the back.

I waited a couple of minutes and turned it on. Everything seems okay. The console wasnt hot, the menu worked, the browser was fine, and then played 20 minutes of Pure without any problems. I have a 40gig that I bought in June, so it's less than 4 months old. Ive never had any freezes in any games, only sometimes when using the browser. Also, this is the second time this problem has occured, last time it was last week, but I caught it happening about 20 minutes after I left the room.

Anyone know what this could be, and if I should be worried.

Thanks.

No, it doesnt make a big deal. I always leave my games in.

just give her a good beaten, so she'll never do it again... you said this was her second time in less than a week?? I think she's cheat*** eek!! :shock:
