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!

LOL...... standby mode is fine BTW

if anyone has any neat tricks for trning it off from the control pad that would be appreciated. Can never be arsed to get up and turn it off when I\'m playing in bed at night

yeah know what you mean.... would be kewl if it could be turned off like a dvd seperate i.e by remote

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

Just look at the guys screen name no ****ing wonder he asked such a dumb ****ing question.

i would if it wasn\'t do dman noisey

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.

mines always on standby.

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)...
