So this is a thought I had the other day. Do you think for longevity / preservation it is best to leave consoles connected to power or leave them unplugged, ignoring something like a power surge?
Ignoring something like a power surge, it’s fine. There’s no standby mode, and there’s no “ebs and flows” of current on an open circuit like another comment suggests.
If you’re not gonna use it for a few years, unplug it just in case one of those power surges we are ignoring happens.
