$150 over 5year = 11.8c/kWh

where do people get electricity so cheap lol?

also 253kWh = about 77 days of 24/7 gaming/video watching, they working this out for casuals lol

I have a hot tub outside, keeping itself at 37 celcius while it's -15 outside... Plus I have children that never turn things off... Not that I'm any better, projector + theater surround system + ps3 and ps4 on at the same time switching between gt6 and ac4. I don't need the heating when all that's going. But we have energy saver bulbs in places we never use...
Summer is still the worst, June was highest again with 1771 kWh (airco beats all), compared to 878 lowest in November. We pay about 15 cents per kWh. (price depends on time of day use, game at night at half the price!)

haha, don't let the green police find you! 15 per kWh, damn I thought 10.5 was bad where I'm at(Texas)... {knock - knock} uh-oh, I think thay found me, run, ahhhhh!!!

Of course they are. When the ps3 launched, it used a lot more power than it does now. This is because they can get better, cheaper parts as time goes on

i currently pay 8.7c/kWh and I live in Texas but there are states where electricity is a lot cheaper.  Also currently the cheapest 12 month plan in my area is 7.5c/kWh plans are always cheaper during winter since demand is a lot lower then since most homes use gas to heat their homes and on top of that most winters here are pretty mild.  During the summer plans are usually the highest since most air conditioning units run on electricity and the summers here are pretty hot.  11.8c/kWh is the current national average for the US but in most areas you can get it a lot cheaper in some areas its less then 1/3 of that.

Don't expect power consumption on these to come down. Ever.

AMD hasn't even got 20nm products on the roadmap, and consoles would not be first priority for such a shrink.

Well before they can reach 20nm they actually have to release something that uses 22nm which is a regular size and not a half-note.

wow thats cheap. Here the average is probably like 25c/kWh plus about 68cents-$1.20 a day fixed cost depending on where you are.

They are discussing about having flexible plans for interval meters so have liek peak, offpeak, should on shoulder off etc.. so depending o nthe period the price will change. Not sure what the final cost will be but they approx a range ofprice between 7cents to 45cents depending on period of usage.

Try around 32c/kWh in Melbourne, and I believe it's going to go up yet again. I'm just loving the carbon tax.

I'm surprised the Wii U wasn't included in this study, considering it's one of it's few moments to shine (perhaps I answered myself). It uses around 32 Watts max.
