# I know someone who has left their PS3 on since launch

Curing Skin Cancer by Destroying the Ozone Layer* :D

*Someone worked out leaving your PS3 on all day would cost you a small fortune on your leccy bill, and that a super computer of a similar power to 10 PS3's uses less energy. Admittedly its common sense but there you go.

# Fecking right :D
The ol' diskswop trick with a cheap red straw was the optimum requirement in the commercial market.

Now it's all chippings, firmware updates etc; tis all bollocks.
