Sony went nuts with their original PS3 model power supply.  The system at peak would pull about 205-210 watts but they gave the thing a 380 watt power supply.  Talk about lost efficiency there.  That thing probably wasted more watts than the entire PS3 consumes in its current format.

Huh? Check EVERY power supply for PCs. Check the efficiency vs load curves and learn.  If you do, then you might realise why in every forum, people tell people to buy a PS that runs between 40-60% of max capacity...
