Way back in the shady days of yesteryear (I think it was about 1998), I played Xenogears for 27 hours running.

I'd've gone longer, but my Playstation overheated and melted. No, seriously, it started to melt.

PS3, Final damn Fantasy games, several after all was said and done ran about 90+ hrs, Final Fantasy 10 I believe has the most time put in, hours upon hours of hacking monsters and leveling up, getting every item possible, etc.
CoD4 is quickly becoming a contender.

I'm guessing the longest uninterrupted session I've done is something like 12 hours of Zelda OOT.

The longest single stretch was about 36 hours after a midnight launch of halo 2. We didn't even fire up the campaign.

I have just over 400 hours in Oblivion on X360.

If you mean longest time playing in one sitting, that would be about 30-35 hours (with breaks) when I got Skies of Arcadia and had a few days off

Xbox 360,

Most time played straight except for food/bathroom breaks is probably around 10hrs. Most time overall is probably around 400days or so in EQ.

20 hours. After Chains of Olympus I had the urge to go back to GOW 1 and 2, back to back.
Sped through 1, and then when I got to 2 it was too tiring.
