How much electricity your consoles use and what they cost you

[Blazzok]

That's actually a lot of money. I wonder how much my pc uses.

Was wondering exactly the same. Actually scared to see. guess they can't really work that out, as pc components differ so much

I've done this exercise, I have a digital watt meter.

My pc uses 120W idle and 420W with a benchmark that pushes it to the max. When playing a game it uses about 250W (depends on the game).

This is for an i5 2500K @ 4.5ghz
P67 Motherboard
GTX 980
2 x 24" led screens
4 hdd's and 1 ssd
All the fans, peripherals and headphones

I don't think it is all that bad
