2 times I fell asleep watching a movie on my Slim PS3, and it stayed on for like 6 to 8 hours straight. Another time for 18 hours, I was playing a game and I assumed the ps3 was off and I noticed after work the next day it was still on.

Can this do any serious damage?

 

Probably not. I've had my PS3 on accidently for a week-straight before (went out of town)...and mine is the 1st gen.

 

See this thread (which was half way down the page)

Thanks Kris

 

i've left mine on for a couple days before.

doesn't yours go into sleep mode?

 

i didnt know the PS3 had a sleep mode.

 

I left it on for 8 hours while I was downloading some Demos. It was done long before the 8 hours, but I was fast asleep and didn't want to get up to get the controller to turn it off.

PS3 still running great.

 

I thought a lot of people leave PS3 on 24/7 to run Folding@Home.
