Does anybody know how to turn one of these new, tiny, svelte Playstation 2's off?
It's kind of dark in the living room right now but I swear to you I can't find a power switch on that thing.
I'd leave it on, but isn't that how I destroyed my last PS2?
Hold the reset button for a sec.

Same as the old one!
Though I'll admit to not figuring out the "hold in the button" thing for a loong time, and I still don't like it.

That reminds me of the time about 10 years old when my housemate John called me and asked me to look up something on his Mac. I spent 20 minutes trying to turn that thing on, before finally figuring out the power button was on the keyboard. Ugh.

Reminds me of the first time I got a computer that didn't have a seperate power and reset button. The first time I actually crawled under the desk to unplug it. The next day I swallowed my pride and asked.

As Daniel said, hold the power button for a moment. Same as the PS2 (which I also didn't know for the first 2 years I owned it and kept using the switch on the back)

"But, it turns out, first you should kill a lot of rats."
Ugh. RPG designers that have you killing rats without making it an obvious gag or making them into an actual threat a la Torment should be summarily executed.

Whee for misplaced post comedy action.
