Mine really kicks out some warm air while it's running... but I've left it on for over 4 days before :D

After about that time it froze mid load for another enduro
 
Well, it's pretty stupid to leave it on for more than 24 hours without using some kind of external cooling. We've never had any problems with ours (knocks on wood), but then we're very careful about keeping it near the AC.

I doubt when Sony produced the slimline that they realized that their PD division would saddle them with 24-48 hour duty-cycles... but considering one of the Tekkens has an unlockable that only surfaces after 24 hours of straight playtime (that was a damn b*tch), I'm sure they realized that the PS2 would see on-times within that range.
 
My slimline gets warm pretty fast so I raised it an inch off the floor by stacking 2 game cases and putting one stack on each edge of the ps2. I also removed the top fan unit from a 16" oscilating fan post and set it on the ground behind the ps2. Nice and cool no matter how long I leave it on now.
