When I am done playing my PS3 I unplug it from the wall because I'm afraid it will some how turn on and over heat. I cover my PS3 up with a towel because I'm afraid dust with wreak it. Is it normal I care about a piece of hardware this much?

    I always unplug my consoles, simply because god forbid there was a power cut and even if your console is plugged into socket but switched off it still consumes power

    you can save electricity when an appliance is not plugged in

    also don't keep them covered, ventilation is important otherwise they may overheat

    I only have PS2,and I'm always leaving it's plug on.One day I found My FFXI charactor is on my TV and wondering around (cause something was on My controler)it was before password is secured and could keep in PS2,but it happened @@.also,generally said you'd better unplug all machine when not in use,it saves electlicity.(not sure about PS3)

    I wouldn't cover it though, you need to keep it well ventilated.
