I try not to play the PS3 for more than 3 hours...cause I don't want it to die on me lol. But anyways, the most time I've had my PS3 on was probably about 5-6 hours....I always tend to keep my console on even when I go out to do other things. I have a habit of not turning my console off but I look to change that :]

Ps3 while playing: 14-15 hours. Ps3 downloading stuff: more than a day. And I am not exaggerating at all.

Normaly it's only on for about 4-5 hours or less, but I remember one time I threw a little "get together," and it ended up staying on for almost 24 hours. It's a fat version from launch date, still works fine.

Edit: Grammar.

I've run a Gran Turismo 5 B-Spec 9-hour race over night and was playing for a few hours before that. PS3 got stress tested by a 3rd party company in extreme weather for 70 hours with no problems.

Like a week once.. If i wasn't playing i was downloading or folding at home.. I didn't shut it off for at least 6 days.. If we're just talking about straight playing.. 52 hours. the 2nd weekend after the PS3 came out i play RFOM, Ridge Racer, Blazing Angels, and a couple other games for like 2 and a half days straight, no sleep.. just gaming.. it was awesome. and Ridge Racer gets super trippy after like 2 days of sleep depravation..

I usually left it on just because I'm too lazy to turn it off. And sometimes that might go on, say, more than few weeks. EDIT: wow I'm really treating mine poorly aren't I. But it's not making any noises and I haven't had trouble with it almost never unless I'm playing first Assassin's Creed.

Never that long, unless a game is in or something is downloading it shuts off after 3hrs of being idle. Probably the longest I've ever ran it was 8hrs.

4 hours, was at the end of FF7 so I wanted to finish it. Normally I have it on for 2 - 2,5 hours when I'm playing a new game, and then I let it rest for 30-40 mins before starting again.

Around 15 hours, usually just downloading stuff. My PS3 is currently on, downloading Assassins Creed 1, 2. I'm leaving it on for the night.

Over 24 hours when I did one of those B-spec endurance races in GT5. Which of course you don't even participate in - you're just getting credit for leaving your console turned on that long.

A YEAR! Are you serious? I'm surprised it didn't fry and melt. As for me, no longer than 3 hours, but then again, I never download games from the internet, all I do is play, watch movies or listen to music.

Just kept it on throughout the night once, was letting it download all the patches for MAG while I went to bed. Apart from that I always keep it off when I'm not using it.

Your PS3 is not an xbox 360. I understand what your saying though, because I love my PS3. But the failure rates are not even close from what i've heard of 360's. Everybody I know with a 360 has had to replace it. Just heard my first PS3 complaint about the original 80gb ps3 going bad about 2 weeks ago. As far as the topic.... maybe 2 days. I leave it on all the time. Kinda the same as someone else said, bad habit of leaving it on when going out. What I did do to counteract that was to turn on the PS3's power saving auto turn off feature. So it shuts itself down after awhile. Pretty useful.

The longest I think I have left mine on for would probably be 3 hours. I wasn't playing a game or anything, it's just that Lord of the Rings movies are so long!

Probably less than 5 hours while dowloading demos/patches/etc. during the night. I rarely play more than 3 hours straight, and I usually tend to keep it under 90 minutes per sitting.

Kinda hard to believe when you consider I tried nearly a hundred games on PS3.

Close to a week is about the longest I've run mine, I do marathons pretty often though. So long as the chips are heated up you might as well keep them that way...

8 hours, just recently to download the free trial of Midnight Club LA.


When I marathon, like when I beat Ghostbusters in one day, it was my second playthrough, I usually play for a couple hours, and then I turn it off for a while. Then usually after I watch my nightly TV shows, then I will play more. But I don't marathon that much.

8 hours. My brother and his girlfriend came over this past weekend, and they wanted to watch Netflix. So we spent like eight hours watching movies and stuff, and it was pretty fun since it felt like we were the guys from Mystery Science Theater 3000. You know, making fun of some of the films' flaws, cheesiness and whatnot.
