i predict 100's of thousands more like this, PPL will be annoyed if 720 is an always on console

I was raised in a house that doesnt leave their products on because it increases the power bill. If the 720 always has to be online they can suck a dick. I'll just play it elsewhere.

The added cost of your electricity bill by leaving the new Xbox in it's low power "always on" state would only amount to about $3-5 a year.

Now multliply that by the amount of electric applicances in your house. CLOCKS, REFRIGERATOR, MICROWAVE, PHONE, STOVE, TVs...etc.

I know I always unplug my fridge when I am not getting something out of it.

I fridge is something you can't unplug, other stuff you can though.

The funny thing is that the fridge is probably the biggest power-hog in the entire house, ignoring any AC systems.
