Too many stories?:carling:
And why dont u just turn it off using PS controller or "Turn off system"?
Why did you buy it, if you were not gonna use it?
Put pictures for proof (auctions rule #1

)
Never believe what ppl say on ebay, (in this case) no one will sell a 3.55 PS3 if it doesnt have anything wrong.
Give more details, model, hard drive capacity etc?
Also did you say that it is the "power" button that doesnt work or what?
