Leaving it on all the time is the same as leaving your computer on all the dime, but without automatic stand-by after, say, an hour.

If your home is prone to power outages or fluctuations in current, the console or the state of the game could be affected in an unpredictable way. Putting the PS2 into stand-by mode reduces the likelihood of this happening.
