Is it okay if I left my PS3 on for 8 hours straight with a disc inside?

I was on the computer and I never relized that I never turned it off, and my disc was inside it. Can the console or disc be damaged?

HAHA no mine has been on for 3 days now. Blu ay cant get damaged

The disc couldnt, but the PS3 probably got hot from being on that long. Its fine, there is nothing to worry about.

No it'll be fine, I've done it many times.

You guys don't have to worry about leaving the Slim on as long as you want. I've left mine running for many days in a row, no issues at all after more than a year and a half.

If the game was running while you left it alone, then you might want to not do that again, but if the game was just in there and you left it on while on the XMB then I'm sure you'll be fine. One time my bro forgot to turn off my PS3 and it was on all night, but it wasn't hot or anything the next morning, and the fan wasn't on full speed so it turned out to be okay.

Dude, seriously, it's fine. I've left Disgaea 3 running for close to a week just because I didn't want to play the item world crap so I left it on. Not a biggie. You'd likely be doing more damage by turning a system on and off repeatedly than leaving it running continually.

The disc shouldn't be damaged but it's never good for your console to be left on for eight hours straight like that.

While I recommend against trying this, I have mistakenly left my PS3 on for a week three times now.

The PS3 is strong, it wont break on you that easy.Ewan-Lumsden

its japanese... Duh lol

Some races in GT5 take longer than 8 hrs. My PS3 gets 8-10 hr long sessions every weekend just about.

When I was playing GT5 I left it on for 8 hours straight several times, and 24 hours once. It still seems to work.
