I fold up to 5 completed as well, rest of you 'saving your ps3's' must love cancer.

 Silly logic. Not wanting to use my PS3 for folding at home does not = loving cancer.

In the long run, if all the PS3 users left their PS3 on all day running F@H, along with all the PC owners who could run F@H but don't, the combined CO2 pumped out through the extra use of electricity would probably cost more lives through global warming and it's effects attributable to those CO2 emissions, than cancer.

Well in winter the energy would not actually be wasted. It would be used to heat the house vs other means of heating the house. But yah, it would be nice if the energy to run our houses did not come from burning Coal and other fossil fuels. Maybe one day we'll be able to use solar for everything. It'd be nice if we had a cure for cancer by then too :) Also, cancer kills 1/2. I don't think the CO2 pumped out by the extra use of electricity from FAH would amount to all that much.. I mean, how much time would the ps3 have to be on for it to compare to 1 hour of using a clothes drier?
