If you turn off your PS3 then it will turn off can't get more simpler than that.
You should turn your PS3 off when not using it. It is not like a PC where you leave it on. You should know that the USB will no longer charge your controllers if it is off. ( One reason people purchase charging stations) It is advisable to set the controllers to automatically turn off when the PS3 is turned off or you will always find your controllers have no charge. The settings menu for the PS3 has auto shut off settings for both the PS3 and controllers and both should be set to turnoff automatically.
You could corrupt the data or the HDD but you could be lucky and nothing happens but i suggest you play it safe just leave it to download/installing. You could turn it of all lose all data and corrupt the system or be lucky and nothing happen your chose but dont blame me if you lose everything it did tell you xD
leave the PS3 turned on and change the settings to turn off the controller when the PS3 is turned off. You can turn the controller and the PS3 back on by pressing the PS3 emblem on the controller
turn it off
The PS3 slim has an auto shutoff function and it will shut it off if it is not turned off. It's a good idea to have the controllers turn off when the PS3 is turned off to prevent drain on the batteries
Never heard of it you can set the ps3 for auto turn off. There is nothing else except for manual or controller turn off. The iphone and the PS3 do not link at all except through the usb port
Either the controller is broken, or your battery is dead. Try plugging in your controller to the PS3 to see if it will turn on.
turn it off and restart it.
Yes if you are using the PS3 to charge it. You should also know that if you do not go to your settings menu and set the PS3 to automatically turn off the controller it will always need a charge because it will stay on when you turn your PS3 off.
It happens and the easiest method is to pull out the power cord and then plug it back in. Make sure you want the PS3 to turn off as it will override the PS3 protection from shutting down
Nope
no sorry
Setting menu
The PS3 does not charge game controllers when the PS3 is turned off even though you leave it plugged in because when the PS3 is off it is completely off. The same is not true for controllers which will continue to remain on when you turn the PS3 off unless you go to the PS3 setting and set it to automatically turn off the controllers. The other accessories should work just like the controllers.
