power consumption is a big issue
Why? The PS3 is very energy efficient for the tech it provides, it's not like you're gaming 24/7 or do you? It draws very little power when on stand-by.
Also note that you will probably be using a TV when you game.
Many TVs draw well more energy than the console.
Just make sure to switch to green electricity if you're worried, my PS3 is running on wind energy!
