Hi, I just wondering how long you should leave the PS3 on for, cuz i treated mine like a laptop, 3-4hrs max.

I found its can get very very warm

funny you should post this.
I wake up this morning. Go to the lounge room to find my sister asleep on the couch and my ps3 on, which was playing a dvd all night. I touch the back of it and its is like an oven.
Thanks sis

I leave my PS3 on 24/7, folding when I'm not playing a game or blu-ray movie.

However, when there's a network connection problem (random, don't know why), then I decide to give my PS3 a few hours rest. Cool down

Same here man, i only leave it on overnight when i am downloading a demo.

But the longest it has been on while playing a game is around 4 hours, no longer, or i get worried.

actually, hardcore folder

like alot of us, when were not playing games wutang and myself switch on F@H, so we can help make the world a better place by going to sleep ps3's can handle being left on 24-7 as long as you dont let them get tooo hot. if the fan noise gets really really loud (which means its getting a bit too hot, just put a portable fan in front of it (facing away of course, so as to blow the hot air and dust away from the console, not into it)....simple

I only leave mine on whenever i'm playing, which is about 4 hrs the latest. I don't like folding as i don't like to leave my consoles on all day.
