1 - HELP Sixaxis Trouble
The SIXAXIS will not turn off my PS3 like it used to.
When you press the PS button your given the option to shut it down but the (X) button stops functioning. I have to wait till it times out or Hard Boot.
I hear of the reset on the back of the Sixaxis but it does not help. Something is wrong.
Anyhow I wonder if it was the 2.00 FW that funked things up?

1.1 - broke button
You know you should maybe consider the button is NOT broken as most likely!!! It's called diagnostics - look for the most likely solution
So if the button aint broke, and your pad bluetooth aint broke, and your ps3 bluetooth aint broke, then maybe FW 2.0 did something? I'm not saying you're wrong, but installing 2.0 firmware is probably quite low down the list of most likely culprits...

Do the lights flash? I have a similar problem in Warhawk, both controllers lock and will not unlock till they timeout. Its an interference problem, or bad programming

1.3 - Thanks for the help but
it never happened during a game, I usually shut off the ps3 via the PS button on the controller but it stopped working. The reset has not worked so I went to bestbuy and returned it, the new one works fine.

2 - I wasn't even aware of any instability issue's.
And didn't we just get another update?! Though I guess they're not releasing another update without a good reason.
Edit: Actually, after reading the post above I remembered I did have had an issue with the SISAXIS functionality. For some reason it was 'stuck' on steering to the left and I couldn't get it back to normal untill I gave the controller a good ol' fashion beating. Now it works fine again.
Has anyone else experienced this?

I'm mostly stoked on the possibility of DivX compatibility. It's good for anyone having issues too.

This won't have DivX, this is a minor upgrade hence the .01, it's probably going to fix the remote start issue and other things.

8 - I can't Wait :)
My 60gig has crashed 5 times now since firmware 2.0 I am glad they are addressing this. For me it has crashed twice while trying to check my folding stats while running Folding@Home and once while exiting annoying. 2 of the times I had to actually turn off the power using the switch on the back because holding the power button would not work. But Still nothing on the poor picture quality of PS2 games with smoothing set to on hmm.
Oh Well no big deal I am gonna get back to playing Uncharted :)

None with me... mine has worked flawless since launch. Great system, it really does have the iron-tank-like quality of a well built pc. You can leave it on for hours/days and not worry about it ruining the system. That's what I love most about the Ps3... sure your room is gonna feel like a damn volcano, but quality doesn't break under the heat.
Good to hear the update is coming for those expereincing problems, though.

Yeah, when I turned psp remote start on my ps3, my friend was able to turn on my ps3 with his laptop. That was weird. Other than that no real problems. I'm curious if this has happened to anyone else. My ps3 is online through a router, in which the laptop was on the same network.

I havnt had any big problems except the sixaxis a few small times and a wierd flash of small code during resistance.
At least Sony are ready to fix the problems people are getting.
And here comes the people expecting some new features like full DivX support or in-game XMB...

14 - How about
stopping my blue tooth controller from "synchronizing" while I'm shooting someone in CoD4. All of a sudden, I'm stuck running in a circle getting shot. I would even put up with a wired solution if it prevented that.

oblivion is glitchy as f**k, one way i did find to stop it freezing was to not have so much stuff stored in chests, bookcases etc. Hasn't crashed in a few months since i sold all the unneeded stuff

18.2 - I dont really find TOO much of a difference in the SKU's
1) ps3 games are on blu-ray discs so there is really no need to install much data on the HD
2) if you dont care about backwards compatiblity then it dont matter which ps3 you get.
3) in the end of the day it will still play ps3 games and blu-ray movies like its meant to be played on a ps3

18.3 - welcome aboard the next gen of playstation.
good for you to get a 60gig, although you should have just gotten a 40 and upgraded the space. BC really isn't that important now with all the games coming day and date with Xbox 360. not to mention it's got plenty ofr first party exclusive and a few 3rd party exclusives coming between tomorrow and december 31st. enjoy it it's an awesome game
I recomend, Warhawk, Folkore, resistance, Heavenly Sword, motorstorm, Ninja Gaiden sigma, oblivion (if you like slow passed american RPGs) Darkness, Uncharted, Ratchet and clank, Guitar hero 3, COD4, and assassins creed, oh and if you have a hidden geek inside you like i do then the EYE OF JUDGEMENT( the most revolutionary game on the PS3 released thus far which is insanly addictive and makes you think and a marvel to look at should also be in your library of games on the bluray releases for PS3), and for the PSN, you'd be happy owning Tekken DR online, super stardust HD, puzzle fighter HD, Eye create from the PS eye camera, (i made a music video with it with a couple of my buddies yesterday it was fun) Flow and everyday shooter. and they're are others but they dont have the flair of those that i mentioned. and ofcoures you came when the PSN is getting plenty of content. like wallpares and themes, and music and tons of trailers game add ons expansion packs, PS1 classics that can be downloaded and played on both home with ps3 or on the go for PSP should you own a PSP and want to play like that, and best of all PS3 game demos. it's getting quite robust.
And that my friend is your PS3/PSN buyers guide for holiday 2007 compliments of SEVIREDgamer <--- my PSN should you decide to add me, i'll add you when i get in from work.
again happy PS3 gaming and if it's your first of the 2 next gen consoles out there the other(xbox 360) then i officially welcome yu to next gen and congrats on owning in what i consider the most cutting egde console this side of the galaxy ( the PS3) it's just my opinion though. ENJOY

21.2 - Actually buddy...
I am a true gamer. I own all 3 consoles...
Ive just been drip fed good games on my 360 which I get most multiplatform games on like Call of Duty 4 with xbox live is amazing. Now im playing mario galaxy on the Wii (best platformer ever) and then next week I have mass effect for 360....
After that I may get around to trying Uncharted drakes fortune so hopefully I will be pleasently surprised... The main reason I have a ps3 is for GT5, MGS4, FF13, God of War 3 which are yet to be released....

Do you even know what a true gamer is? Owning all 3 systems doesn't make you anything. A true gamer likes games on all systems and can enjoy games on each system. When you say "I need a reason to turn on my PS3" that just proves that you aren't. Resistance, Warhawk, Ratchet, Uncharted, Folklore, Heavenly Sword, Eye of Judgment are quality, exclusive games and on shelves right now. Get your head out of your ass and stop pretending to be something you clearly aren't.
