4.5 firmware for ps3 currently will not allow users to shut down unless you use your controller. They removed the option to shutdown the console using the power button due to new hacks that allow you to glitch the system an jailbreak your ps3! It's not a problem it's sonys way of keeping hackers out of their system.
Likewise I have no problems turning my PS3 off with the power button or the controller. I have all the latest up-dates up to November 2013.Likewise I have no problems turning my PS3 off with the power button or the controller. I have all the latest up-dates up to November 2013.
Im on 4.5 and dont have that problem. But i might know why your games have stopped working. If you got your ps3 with games installed in it already and at version 3.55 or below, then it means you got your ps3 with a custom firmware. If you dont know what custom firmware means, just look it up, google is always your friend.
