Compared to basically every other appliance you have plugged in at home, the Playstation 3 sucks up more juice. That's according to a new study by Australian consumer agency Choice, which found that when a PS3 is running, it sucks up five times more energy than a refrigerator. If you leave it on all the time for something like Folding@Home, you're looking at an energy cost of nearly $250 a year.

so all those individuals on a budget or buying tokens for their meter make sure the PS3 is switched it off finished playing and dont leave it on when you pop to the shops for munchies..

No wonder every light in my crib flashes everytime I turn in on. Would be nice if Sony would create an add-on device that would let you heat your crib in the winter.
