Do you protect your new console?

Yes, I wrap it under covers when not in use 20 25.97%
 
No, it can stay as it is 56 72.73%
 
Total:76

Very random thought here, but having spent alot of money on my new PS4 and XBox One I made new 'dust protectors' which I place over them when not in use. 

 

Wondering if anyone else does the same or if im just weird :P

 

I did the same with my PS2 and Original XBox, but didnt bother with PS3 and XB360.

I have sealed off every hole and opening leading into my PS4's insides. That way no dust can get inside.



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

hehe, some funny replies so far. Maybe I just have OCD, but I do smoke (want to quit!) so am always concious of that getting sucked in. So I have a dust cover for each console and they have there own personal fan to blow that pesky smoke away :P

Not really, I usually use them as a coaster or a plate. Sometimes as a DDR mat.



Nope, I just let it sit where ever I put it. Never had any problems with 360, PS3, Xbox, or PS2. My consoles tend to stay pretty clean regardless. Although I do dust them off every month or so.

Nope, ever since the Snes, none of my Nintendo handhelds or Consoles have ever broke so my cares on protecting them went down every year... Although I do protect them like crazy for the first 2 weeks

I don't protect them, but I won't let anyone touch it either.

I've never even thought about covering them.
