Baffles me why I see people on Xbox Live with "Away for 2 hours" statuses, or seeing people here say they leave there's on when NOT playing games. There isn't a single benefit to leaving your VIDEO GAME system ON when you are NOT PLAYING VIDEO GAMES.

The longest I have left my PS3 on was about 2 days for F@H. A couple of months ago I would leave it on for around 24 hours and then turn it of for a couple of hours and then it on and start folding again. I don't expect anything to break but it does make my room extremely hot so it will mainly stay off from now until the end of summer.

Around 24 hours. Its so quiet I've forgotten about it being on.

I'd never dream about doing that with my 360. Hell I cringe when powering that piece of shit on.

4 months and counting.

It's constantly running F@H while I'm at work. When I get the chance to play a game I simply stop Folding and start the game. Once I'm done with the game I just restart folding. But yeah, I've never bothered to actually turn it off.

I have left it folding for a few weeks I think. But now I use it so often, there is often not time enough to get a whole project done before the next time I figure I'll use it.

I guess I could leave it on overnight, but I need it quiet and dark when I sleep.

I generally leave mine on for a week or two at a time.

I have left it on for about 24 hours by mistake, but then I played it for 2 hours immediately after that and no issues what-so-ever.

Imagine that, a game system that doesnt overheat.

18 months between 3 units (8, 6, and 4 months, respectively), with a total downtime of under 10 minutes total.

My PS3 use to randomly turn on. I think it was because of my router would remotely trigger it. So once I realized it was on after 2 days or so.

But on purpose, not that long.

The internet is weird. I like type this out, but its like no one will really give a shit. It's more like writing a journal then a discussion. I hate the internet.
