It's called an "OPTION" which means you DO NOT have to use it. Either way, the 2 watts of electricity it uses from being in low power state will cost you about $5 extra a year in electricity costs, so I can understand if that is too much money for most people to handle... |
It would be a lot more than $5 where I live. And "Kinect always plugged in" - does that mean there goes another 2-5 watts per hour? Does the Nextbox "listen" and "look around" while it is waiting for you to "start up the box?" - there goes another 1-2 watt to a core, a move engine/a video compander? Soon I'd be looking for $100 electricity costs, that is why almost all my stuff hangs on power strips I shut down when the day is done...
