cyclops Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 muhahahah...u'll got OWNED this feature is there by default on the PS3...i've been switching on my ps3 using the controller from day1...even before i installed any update. Just to clarify a few things: -u can switch on the ps3 with the controller only if u have shut it down with the controller. if u have shut it down using the touch button on the ps3 or just switched off the power then u can not switch on using the controller TRY IT FOR URSELF AND SEE. :tongue4: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
