Silly question - unplugging PS2 slim after each usage

This is just a silly question I have about the PS2 slim, since I unplug mine after I am done using it.

Is this considered harmful to unplug the PS2 after each uage? I've done this each day I play it from the time I bought the system 3 years ago. I'm just curious if what I'm doing is wrong or can potentially damage the PS2.

Anyone know?

Thanks :)

I wouldn't think so, as long as you power it off correctly, THEN unplug it.

It doesn't hurt, but it doesn't really help anything either.

Indeed, the energy you save with the console plugged in in comparison to the console unplugged is very little.

I turn off the switch after I'm finished playing it, so yeah, I do unplug it as well. And it's never damaged the system. In fact, I think it's a good thing - it doesn't drain power when it's not being used.Spinnerweb

It doesn't hurt anything, but why would you do that? There is no benefit, 'saving electricity' would be so minimal

Huh, I must admit I never thought of that, I still have my brick-style PS2 that has the master switch on the back.
