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.

Your fridge? I think mine only uses about $60 of electricity to run for an entire year. Things that use hot water are probably much bigger power hogs. Washing machines, dishwashers, etc.

Either way your point is irrelevant because those devices have nothing to do with an Xbox. You can power off any device you want to power off to conserve a few bucks a year. All the power to ya. (pun intended)
