Apparently if you leave the PS3 on for a year 24/7 it turns into one of those little Sprites, from the Sprite advert.

If you left it idle 24/7, and took 1 KWh to be 15p it would be approx;

XBOX 360 (Jasper)
93.7w
93.7*24*365 =~ 812kWh
£121.8 / year

PS3 (Slim)
75.19w
75.19*24*365 =~ 658kWh
£98.70 / year

I unplug my 360 from the mains when I'm not using it. Just wish there was battery backup, as the system clock resets

If you leave a 360 on 24/7 for an entire year it would red ring and you'd never see your money again.

If you haven't got it connected to the Internet (like my sister's Elite) then it becomes a VERY annoying problem. It still keeps thinking it's 2005.
