Not all game systems are green machines
As if responding to my previous post concerning the price of videogames and the cost of a tank of gas, KansasCity.com has posted an article concerning the energy consumption by videogame consoles…
Power hogging next gen consoles
Attention “green” gamers and anyone who cares about their electric bill: your next-gen consoles are ridiculously power-hungry. According to a post at Destructoid, a PS3 (not in use, but turned on) will run you $250 a year in electricity (about 5x what a refrigerator costs to run for the same amount of time). The Xbox 360 is comparable, but the Wii will only run you about $25 for a year’s worth.
That’s a whole lot of energy. I’d throw in a “now you’re playing with power” joke, but it’d be so inappropriate. Lesson learned: turn off your damn consoles when you’re done playing.
