It's not as simple as leaving it plugged in when you have a 15 month old running around your house and I'd prefer not having lots of crap out when they're not used all that often. It's a lot easier for me to press the PS button on the dual shock controller and be off and playing. Whereas, I'd have to get the camera and PS move controllers out, plug in the camera, and configure the move. Anyways, I won't derail this thread any further since I was merely being facetious and didn't realize that my statement would garner so much interest...
