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.

My preferred console is 360 and under the hailstorm that was the halo 3 midnight party, I skipped work and played for a straight 14 hours until my eyelids crusted over, and my TV burnt out,(which it did) :(
sicsided @ May 2nd 2008 5:52PM

37 hours straight waiting for the 'Old Man' to walk by in Star Wars Galaxies so I can ask him about becoming a Jedi. I was young...and lame...

36 hours+++ on FFXI.
The_Black_Circle @ May 2nd 2008 5:52PM
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.

Diablo 2 for 41 hours. And what a 41 hours that was.

I'm guessing the longest uninterrupted session I've done is something like 12 hours of Zelda OOT.
Christian @ May 2nd 2008 5:54PM
PS3, and total play time in WoW was somewhere over 2000 hours back when I stopped playing. =/

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

Back in high school, I had the dubious honour of playing Sim City until dawn on multiple occasions.

Longest consecutive session was probably Oblivion the first time I got it, it was probably around 18 hours?... Longest total gameplay was definitely Pokemon Red, over 200 hours :P

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.
