The longest you left your console on?

What is the longest you left your PS3 on for (I guess you can include PS4)

I left mine on for somewhere around 2 weeks until it hit about 101F outside and was even hotter inside my house as it was a trailer/tin can and there was no A/C and it caused the system to over heat and shut down the GFX to protect itself and I ended up turning it off because it was too hot to touch.

PS3 Slim 320GB

Ever since then I setup my PS3 to shut down after like 1 hour I believe it is.

And why, exactly, did you leave your PS3 turned on for "around 2 weeks"?

Because no fucks given.

This laptop has been running for about 9 days now.

>not having a PC that you can leave on for years without any issues and actually do practical things like server hosting etc when you're away.

My laptop has been running for around a year and a half, it just goes on standby when it runs out of battery. The longest I kept my PS3 on for was around 2 or 3 weeks because I was modding it. Longest I've kept my PS4 on for is around 1 or 2 days because I care about it.

When I had a 360, I would host modded lobbies on MW2 all the time and leave it on for like 2 weeks just for people to come and go. One time I checked in and it had a full lobby. It was nuts.

Well my Ps4 has been in standby mode for about a month. Until Fallout 4 comes out I do not play Ps4 to much. If you are counting standby mode time...

I have no idea what stand by mode is on a PS4 but if its like sleep mode on a laptop then yes it is considered running all it should do is shut down the hard drive and turn off display but everything else is usually running.

Yes, standby is considered still having the PS4 on but it just uses less energy and resources. It still downloads stuff and uploads stuff, even faster than having it on.

My PS4 is usually on or in rest mode all the time.
