I've never understood the need to keep things 'ON' or on 'Standby'.
I don't turn them off to save money or energy - I just turn them off because I've never known there to be a reason not to.
Unless I'm running a download of a new game or something, then there is nothing else the console would need to do if I'm not using it.
Then again, gaming isn't my main hobby so if I have to wait 30 minutes to download a new game then I'll wait. I am not going to leave it on standby 24/7 for that odd time I could remotely start a dowload ready for when I get home.
Only reason for it is if fibre is not yet available where you live really as that could take ages to download a game.
