MODERATORS
I play mine enough that I never turn it off. I usually play multiple short sessions throughout the day, so having instant suspend/resume from the middle of the game is much more important to me than the minor battery drain.
I'd only turn it off if I didn't expect to play it for a few days, but even then I would probably just stick it on my dock in sleep mode, and trust pass-through charging to keep the battery healthy.
