    the three major game consoles:


    • Sony Playstation 3 is the most power-hungry model. For the 2007 version, you'll spend about $12 a year if you turn the console off when you're not using it, compared to about $134 if you leave it on all the time.
    • Microsoft Xbox 360 ranks a close second. If you shut it down when you're not playing a game or watching a movie, it costs about $11 to operate annually. Leaving it on continuously will cost you $103.
    • Nintendo Wii uses significantly less energy than the others. It costs about $3 a year if you turn it off after use, compared to about $10 if you don't.

    Any idea how much it costs per year if you never turn the Wii on?

    He doesn't turn me on either. Is there an Eva Longoria game out yet?

    who the fuck leaves their game consoles on continuously for a year? It's not like people treat these like the fridge or even the family computer.
