Quite a lot of users have emailed in asking how they can turn off their Playstation 3 while in-game. Firmware 2.4 added in-game Cross Media Bar and when you press the PS button it brings up the XMB. I’ll answer the question in this post so its a bit more wide spread.
To turn the system off while in-game simply keep your finger on the PS button and it will bring the old menu up with the quit, controller options, turn off system, and turn off controller.
So, press the PS button to bring the XMB up, press and hold the PS button to bring the old menu up. Simple.
I hope this helps some of you out there.

There is also another way in case you dont know about it.
Press the PS button then go to the profiles column and go up, there u will see a Turn Off Your System icon, just press it and ur good…
Cheers, thanks a lot for the extra info.
yes that is true u can turn the system off straight while in the game, but for me i rather not i like to quit the game first and then take out the disc and sign out of the psn before i turn it off so i know its 100% safe and ready to be shut down, like how a pc should be shut down cuz ps3 is a pc jus built a certain way
