Do you plug your PS3 into a shock protector or directly into the wall?

I have mine plugged into a surge protector. I'm not sure what is best for the system, I've just always used one for PSX, PS2 and now PS3. Also, it's good to know that use of a surge protector does not void your warranty either :)

Surge protector. Same with my Wii and tv.

I have most of my electronics plugged in a surge protector. I always thought it was common sense to do so, hence why seeing a topic like this kind of surprised me. :PKamuiFei

Yeah, it was always common sense to plug things into the surge protector for me. But then the 360 intervened on the common sense policy when they said you should plug it into the wall. I was just wondering if other console manufacturers were idiots like MS......apparently not.

I own a powerhouse MEDIA Surge protector for all my electronics my ps3 is plugged into that,

Yes I have a surge protector.

Everyone has fuses, not just the UK - fuses can blow... but it does not prevent a power surge. Power surges general occur in a lightning storm if the lights and power begin to flicker.

I have mine directly into the wall. Should I plug it into the surge protector? I remember when I had the crap60, they said you should plug it directly into the wall. Any help???hillelslovak

I know that ill be called an idiot for asking this but whats a surge protector?

Exactly what it's called... It protects you against power surges. I.e. when your power comes back on after a power out or during electric storms.

I have my Hd tv and ps3 plugged into th outlet in the wall.

Now you all have me worried!

I have mine plugged into a UPS along with my PC and TV it also acts as a surge protector...

Surge protector is built into your ps3

Edit: Scratch that, its the power supply unit that's built in, so yeah, get a surge protector

you mean the Surge Protector is the one that has Power or Wattages to use after the power fails or the plugs extension only?

Many times, black outs shut all my computers and PS3 and TVs off. It never poses any problem at all.

I dont see what's the fuss about surge protectors. If you plug in the wall, your PS3 will still turn off anyway

is this some kind of American thing? iv never heard of one (UK) we have fuese in the plugs if thats what you meanhip-hop-cola2
