Not sure how the slim works but the older ones you have to hold the power button down to turn it off. Might help?

I always turn my PS3 off by holding the PS button on the controller and then select Turn Off Console.

As Retr0 says, just pressing the power button should switch it off.

Same as Otacon, I've never used the power button, always the controller.
