    PS3 Sucks Up Five Times as Much Energy as a Fridge, Ten Times as Much as a Wii
    PS3 Costs $247 Per Year to Run



    Aussie consumer agency Choice has put together a study of the power consumption of everyday household appliances and, surprise surprise, the leaf blower that is the PS3 comes out at the bottom of the league. Sony's console burns through 31.74 kWh per week when idling, which is five times the energy used by a refrigerator, and ten times the juice sipped by the Wii.

    To be fair, a fridge is left on 24/7, whereas a console tends to be switched into standby mode a lot of the time. Those lazy readers who need a little prodding should take note of the costs of leaving their PlayStation running: over a year, it adds up to US$237. Compared to this, the MacBook Pro -- not usually known for running cool -- looks as thirsty as a desert cactus, a using only 3.66 kWh per week; almost one tenth the appetite of the PS3.

    So, switching off between sessions could save enough cash to actually buy a Wii. Alternatively, you could put the hot PS3 inside the cold refrigerator and watch as your energy costs spiral out of control, laughing as the ozone layer burns away over your head and the melting ice caps bring the beach to your doorstep. You choose.

    No, load shedding only came when some SA peeps started getting the PS3. Thanks goodness it's not too popular.

    Old news

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_3_hardware

    To date, the PS3 has had several component revisions which serve to reduce power consumption. This in turn results in production savings, lower heat production, lower cooling requirements and quieter running.

    PS3 160 GB = 110W

    Anyway im gonna stick my hand up and say that both consoles have negatives and positives..Im leaning towards x box at the moment because sony lost their sole rights to Tekken..wich is possibly 1 of the biggest fighting game series ever...As far as I know it'll be coming out on xbox 1st..But then again i love kill zone and I can't wait for kill zone 2 and that's a ps3 exclusive!!

    So XBOX360 FTW and PS3 FTW

    PS3 might be a better all round machine... but it hasn't come into its own yet where as I think the 360 has. And it's not like the 360 is a bad machine so for me it's 360 all the way!
