Wow. If you’re trying to ‘go green’ and you have a Playstation 3, you may want to consider switching to a Wii. An Australian consumer group found that the Sony Playstation 3 consumes five times more energy than a medium sized refrigerator – 10 times as much as the Wii.
From Intology:
They found out that a medium sized refrigerator of about 12 cu. ft. volume (60 inches in height) will cost $50 a year while Sony Playstation 3 will cost $250 a year even if it is not in use and only turned on. Microsoft XBox came second behind Playstation 3.
$250! Imagine what you could do with that money instead of draining energy unnecessarily. You could put it toward buying yourself a Wii! (No, Nintendo is not paying me to tell you that.)
