PS2 power switch relocater

[stormy]

saw this while perusing at IGN, and thought it was funny. I'm actually surprised it took this long for one to come out since everyone loves to complain about this. Personally i don't see what's so wrong with standby mode, just about every piece of home electronics is never really "off".

I just hate having to reach to the back of the console to turn the fucking thing off. I might have to pick this puppy up.

Why turn it off in the first place? Just leave it in Stannd By.

Stand by is the way to go. You don't hit the power switch on your PC's power supply every time you turn of your computer, right?

I just don't like having to go the extra step on a console.

[stormy]

yes but people are concerned about thier PS2s exploding and such

I hope you aren't leaving games in the machine when powering down with the switch. Scratches aren't fun.

I take my discs out after every use, since I usually swap from games to DVDs.

What extra step? Hold in the button on the front, and you're done. Like others have said, turning the power off & on all the time ain't good for the thing.

What extra step? You just keep your finger on the reset button for 3 seconds. Is that so hard?
