Do you leave your PS2 on all the time, or not?

What I mean is do you keep the main power in the back on all the time and just put it into standby when your not using it? Or do you shut it completely of and then turn it back on again when needed?

I leave it in standby unless I know I'm not going to use if for a while.

My computer is on 24/7 and keeps my room warm. My fridge is on 24/7 to keep my food cold. My lights in my room are on 24/7 to keep my room bright. My cell phone is on 24/7 to keep me from missing calls. My fax machine is on 24/7 so I can always receive faxes. My satalite dish is on 24/7 so I can watch TV with the flick of just one button. My goove is on 24/7 so I can get more girls.

My internet connection is on 24/7 so I can get more pr0n... um.... what we talking about dude? :D

I always just leave mine on. Its too much effort to get up and turn it off at the back and then turn it back on later.

I used to leave mine on, but after having it being the first electrical device to ever die on me from a power surge(my apartment fuse was tripped), I leave it off now.

I usually leave it in standby mode, but my roommate always turns it off, even if he just sees it in standby. Don't know why, don't care.

The standby of the PS2 is the same as the standby for computers... it's not going to harm your ps2 to leave it in standby.

I leave mine in standby.

Mine is always in standby mode with just the little red light on. It's been in this mode since Nov/00 and no problems.
