Slim PS2 overheating?

[PJ]

Quick question

Although I can turn off my slim PS2, the red light is still on while it's plugged in. I was told if I left it plugged in, it'd overheat, and die fast.

Is this true? I came home to feel if it was hot or something and it was definately not, I mean, it STARTED getting hot after my 4 hour or so PSU rampage, but definately not enough to be worried.

Should I unplug my PS2 whenever I'm not using it?

Where did you hear this? The red light is simular to your PC monitors orange/standby light. Its doing nothing. Like googles!

What kind of bull is that? It's in idle mode when it's red, so nothing inside is moving.

See, that's what I thought

Thanks for the heads up

(when i said "on for 10 hours" i meant litterally on, not just idle)

Just turn it off at the mains and help save the environment.
