When they're turned on, the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 use about enough power to keep a couple of refrigerators running, according to an NRDC report. What's more, some people leave these power suckers running regardless of whether they're playing games. Better power management software could save a considerable amount of money and kilowatt hours.(Haskins, 2008)
So remember kids if you got your xbox'es and what not,remember to turn them off because it takes about 40 dollars a year just to power them.You could leave your wii's on 'cause they use less electricity than a flashlight.
