Not had my PS3 (40gb) long. Got a fairly straightforward question: when I've finished watching something like 4oD, how do I get out of it and back to the main XMB menu? I've tried pressing everything but can't figure out how to do it. In the end, I usually just turn the system off. I have to say, I find the PS3 interface pretty unfriendly and confusing compared to it's main - ahem - rival. Anyway, can someone help me out please? Thanks.

Holding the PS button will present the menu screen. The first item on the list is Quit :smileywink: Press X, confirm and you're back to the XMB :smileyhappy:

Also NEVER turn off using a hard reset. Soft reset only :smileyhappy: Obvious but many do just rip the plug out the wall or flick the rear switch.
