What was the longest consecutive hours you've played your PS3? I wanted to know because I'm paranoid that I might overheat or break my PS3 for being on too long, so I try to limit it to 2 hours at a time then let it rest for awhile.

I let my Mom use my ps3 towatch dvds for 6 hrs. In that time, I was more worried about it than me playing it for 24hrs.

I've got mine on slim fast and have him doing 20 minutes on the exercise bike each day.

He's a little chubby, but we'll have him down in weight in no time. :)

this the wrong topic for that for one, and for two those are two games on the PS3 and don't even represent a fraction of what the system is capable of.

I left mine on for about 3 days straight Folding@Home. I've actually done that several different times. Don't worry about it overheating and just enjoy it. Besides, if something does happen (though it won't) thats what Sony's warranty is for.

i have played oblivion for like 7 hours. And my friend has left his on Folding@Home for over 2 weeks while on vacation. It works just fine. Sony knows how to make a console. No 1.89 Billion dollars lost here because of malfunctions

I've often done 12 hours strait. Playing games for a few hours and fold for the rest. I hate how sometimes the fans kick into high gear if you leave it folding for a long time. It's annoying because if you stop folding and play a game or movie. It quiets down a great deal... (And also the unusually loud fan noise worries me) I think sony did it on purpose as to make 100% it wouldn't overheat from extended periods of folding.

Its a reliable system and dont worry about alot, but the furthest ive pushed it would be 12 hours. Some buds of mine came over and played and stuff from like 12 PM to 12ish AM.

Got warm, but not HOT...played Rainbow Six like crazy...

I was busy once in the middle of a game and I left it on for 2 days because I forgot all about it. Still works fine. :)

Does it depend on where the PS3 is at? Like if the fans are blocked or not? Or if the place is hot?

The only time I play longer than 1 hour is when I'm playing a PS2 game. Usually it's 2-3 hours then. Otherwise there's very little to do on it, so I don't have to worry about overheating yet :P
