When I first heard my friends PlayStation 3, I could have swore that thing was getting ready for take off. The amount of noise coming out of that thing is a bit ridiculous. And after reading this article on the amount of energy this thing sucks up, I can see why.According to the Australian consumer agency Choice, the PS3 isnt very friendly to your utility bill. The gaming console, when running, sucks up to five times as much more energy than a refrigerator and ten times as much as the Nintendo Wii. How much does that come out to in dollars? About $250 if you keep that baby running all the time.The Xbox 360 isnt that much better, running around 23.57 kWH per week compared to the PS3s 31.74 kWH and the Wii at 2.97 kWH.Basically, if youre not using the console, just turn it off rather than leave it idling. And if youre looking to knock down your electric bill and knock off a few pounds, it appears the Nintendo Wii is the way to go all around.Source: Gizmodo ... more
