so, how many times a day do you turn on/off your PS3?

i usually leave mine on for 7 or 8 hours, then turn it off if i don't see myself playing anytime soon. i've heard crazy **** of people leaving their PS3s on for months.

Standby during the day and off over night.

i leave mine on stand by all the time. i mean completely on, green light and blue light. :D

most of the time i turn it on once and off once, on whenever the heck i decide to use it and off before bed, sometimes i leave it on for a couple days though when i'm downloading big things like hd shows or movies. and discs come out as soon as i'm done using them. this brings heat for me at least when i leave one in a long time.

[QUOTE="ks1990steelman"] That's not stand by. It's ON. ON: Green & Blue light. Stand by: RED light. OFF: No light.ks1990steelman

on when i play it. off when i dont. played:6am-830am, 1215pm-330pm.

I leave it on standby when not in use, if i don't use it for awhile i turn it completely off.

Even if I leave it on, I set the shut off timer for like 3 hours. I don't know why people don't use that feature. gamer082009

Why would anyone leave it on 24/7 boggles my mind. Do people have any idea how much power they would save if they turned it off, or how much they would be helping the environment? If you're not using the thing turn it off or leave it on stand by. Same applies to other kinds of electronics.lusitanogamer

On: only when I play. Stand by: When I don't play. Off: When I want to unplug it.ks1990steelman

There's really no reason to turn it completely off. Mine is always in standby, unless I'm playing it of course.

Usually twice a day! - My controller lasts for aaaages on a full charge.

On week ays i turn it on for 2-3 hours and leave it o stand by. On weekend 6+ hours, and when i play more than 4 hours in a row then i turn it off complaetly off

i turn my ps3 completly off when im done playing it

I usually turn it on once a day when I go to play it and turn it off once a day when I'm done :P My Slim is obviously always in standby mode and I used to always keep my 80GB in standby mode, but since I got my Slim I only have the 80GB on standby when I'm gonna play PS2 games.

I turn it on once. When I wake up and shut it off all the way until I got to sleep.

i just leave my ps3 on standby.

If I'm not playing it then its on standby.

id say maybe twice or 3 times, long play for about 8 hrs with brew or a J and shut er off for a couple hours, and thats on a slow day.

regular day yeah id say maybe once and on for about 4hrs max.

I never turn mine on. I play games in standby mode 8)

2/3 times a day................

I usually don't turn it on/off more then once a day, turn it on, do my gaming, if I take a little break to eat or whatever I leave it on, then only when I'm finished I turn it off, and when it's off I hit the back switch, no reason to leave it in stand by mode, it's a waste of energy, much people say that it uses so little energy that it doesn't matter, but imo it's the same as a dripping tap, you look at it and see that it's just a small drip of water falling every 3 or so seconds and think "ehh, that's nothing", but leave a bucket in there for 2 hours and you'll see how much water you're wasting, let alone for days, weeks...

I generally leave mine on stand-by (red light) when not playing, but will turn it off (switch in the back) when I know I won't be playing for a while.

most of the time i turn it on once and off once, on whenever the heck i decide to use it and off before bed, sometimes i leave it on for a couple days though when i'm downloading big things like hd shows or movies. and discs come out as soon as i'm done using them. this brings heat for me at least when i leave one in a long time.

It takes that long to download HD? What ISP do you have?

Way too many times a day to count. I mainly just leave it on most of the time, for usually 3-5 hours on end..

I turn it on when I want to play a game and off when I'm done. I never leave it on when I'm not using it. I use the botton in the front;I only turn the switch off in the back if I'm going to unplug it or something.
