Does it really make that much difference? Who cares how its switched off? Jeez that was one of the worst questions anyone has ever asked!

I find that a broom handle normally does the trick, failing that, just leave it on all night ;)

i normally put mine on standby, unless im out all weekend, so its not gonna be used, then ill turn it off, if i do turn it off at the back, i take the disc out, as i heard that when you turn it on at the back sometimes the lens goes to high and can scratch the disc.

Doesn\'t really matter, I never use standby. When I know I\'m not going to play again for the day I use the back switch.

Yes it does

a.) Turning off any computer device hard (on/off switch) is harder on the components

b.) Turning off the PS2 with a disc in the trey can cause the laser to mis-align and scratches on your discs




I always use the stand-by (red light) mode. Its easier then the on/off switch and its the way the machine was designed to be turned off

only when you are not planning n using the PS2 for a a week or 3 should you use the on/off switch

I pull the cord in the middle of gameplay.. Also you know how they tell you never to remove or shut it off while saving a file? Well... I did it... It was fun do it... Nothing happens!.. Also try pressing ALT + S + T + F4....


I just reset--> take the game out--> Hold reset(standby)...

Anyone remember Hollywood25 when he asked where the on/off button was?  He didn\'t have his PS2 yet and he was wanting it so bad he was actually asking where the on/off button was.  Man that kid was a dork.

PS: I usually turn mine off with the switch, then I unplug it from the wall.  I then turn the circuit breaker off to that part of the room.  You can never be too careful.
