They say that it's best to leave consoles on if you are going to be using them regularly. They say turn the system off if you aren't going to use it in 24 hours, and unplug consoles, like the PlayStation 2 that only go into stand-by (Not turned off.) when you press the power button, when you aren't going to use it for a few days. Other than that, they say it's best to leave it on unless it doesn't have a good fan or a fan at all (Like The PlayStation 2 Slim.)

And, by they I mean the computer experts at some stores I've been too
