The Natural Resources Defense Council finds that on a yearly basis, new consoles cost America $1 billion in electricity bills—and that most of that energy is consumed when the consoles are in standby mode.P

I make a habit out of not leaving any of my devices in standby mode, so hopefully when I pick up a new console the increase in power usage will be minimal.
