Not only do people leave them on overnight, people leave them on for months on end... There are people that use them as servers, folding machines, and many other uses.

Grandmothers are to blame!

Mine used to unplug EVERYTHING before going to bed, which instilled a terror in all of us that leaving something plugged in overnight would cause a meltdown and take half of the town out with it!

I advise switching it off and unplugging it! :D

yea, i leave mine on all the time, since i play halo on xbc. my disc last time i rebooted gave me problems, so im just gonna leave it on. i got mine last year and in that time ive probably had it ON for a total of 9 months time and its working fine.
