PS3 uses five times more energy than a fridge

Choice, claims that consoles such as Sony's Playstation 3 chew up five times more energy than a fridge.

Apparently a fridge will go through $50 worth of electricity a year while a PS3 will cost $250 a year even if it is not used.

Vole's XBox did not use quite so much juice but came second behind the Sony. The PS3 used ten times more power than the Nintendo Wii.

The report said that the Apple iMac with a built-in display, consumes just two-thirds of the energy consumed by a traditional PC and that LCD monitors were more energy efficient than the CRT versions. µAUSSIE CONSUMER GROUP

According to this study PS3 Costs about $60 a year more for electricity than X360 (even while being idle) , Can we use this to counter the "$50 yearly for Xbox Live" argument? (JK) :P

If you only turn off your console instead of having it on standby.. Oh I saw wrong.. Thought it costed so much when On standby... Guess that cost is only some $

Well I hope nobody has their console turned on 24/7.. thats just stupid..

And how exactly is a PS3 meant to consume $250 worth of energy when it isn't being used?ONLYDOD

Its when it is turned on.. Just turn off the console normally and it will cost some 2$ a year in standby mode..

I dread to think how much my PC costs a year :SMeu2k7

Far too much.

If everyone was playing the hugely diverse games the PS3 has in its enormous collection of games.

Hardly fair, its the goverment, and democracys fault, energy consumption cant be limited through forced means, Democracy is great, but it has its downsides, lack of fear is one of them.

The PS3 replaces my DVD player/ Bluray player, PS2. So less electronics = less power consuption.kentaro22

PS_John

hmmm thats why when i use ps3, every other thing in my house stops workingmingo123

When I use my PS3, time itself stops.

See? This is why I dont want a next gen to start so quickly. I mean, how much more powerful can these systems get??? And how much more can they cost? It costs alot to develope games, how are they going to afford it next gen?

If next-gen is crazy expensive, I'll be going the "Nintendo Wii 2" route probably, lol.

How does my ps3 cost me money when I am not using it?

Personally I turn the ps3 off then turn it off at the switch so it uses NO power. So really it should say:

"It COULD cost you £250 a year if you dont turn it off properly, but if you do it wont cost you anything."

he has gamertag he created on his PC just for this thread because we didnt believe he had a 360, then when i posted a pic of his gamertag that said created 5 minutes ago and that he never played any 360 games he accused me of photshoping it, when i placed a link for his gamertag he said that it wasnt his gamertag after all

a few days later he posts a pic saying that his 360 got a RROD, someone posts a link where it shows that the pic he posted was from a kotatku post from 2006, then he says that was his 360 that broke down in 2006 :lol here´s the link to the thread

Damn right, CJ. Remember yesterday? After everyone harrassing him, a certain well-known fakeboy STILL refused to prove he owned a certain console.
