Acually leaving the ps2 on standby has been known to lower its life. I've talked to sony personally about this cause i've had them replace 3 ps2s and they asked if i was keeping them on standby and i said i was. So they told me to start shuting the ps2 all the way down and since then i've never had to replace a ps2 as for my PC thats on 24/7 and never a problem so i have no clue?!

hmm everyone else says its safe, but then there's this one post...im not sure who to beleive.

i think ill play it safe and just turn it off at the back, ive already voided my warranty because I took it apart (like to see how things work) so I cant get it replaced...

all my mates have PS2 (meanwhile i spend my cash on my PC, mwahah lol)

and they leave ther PS2&#39;s in standby all the time.... but the fact is they hardly ever play them any more, so everytime i go around ther and see the lil light on, im like, dude turn off your ps2, and theyre like...nah cant be bothered reaching under the tv stand...lol

IMO leave it on....how long is a PS2 suppose to last for anyway? 5 years... 10... 15? if you leave it on standby its not going to really make a difference.

by the time it fucks up you&#39;l have a PS4..

and that guy who went thru 3 PS2&#39;s.... WTF how is it possible to go thru 3 pS2&#39;s? u must be doing sumthing wrong mate.... perhaps if you took the PS2 off the heater it might last longer.. jkz.

I left my old PS2 on stand by all the time and it&#39;s still working after 3 years. With my new PS2 I switch it off at the back and unplug it from the socket like it says in the maunal.
