Reading on another board that someone went around the house with a power meter and discovered their SKY box uses only one watt less power when off. They likened it to the consumption of a fridge - bit of an exaggeration but

According to Internet info I found a fridge uses 3kw h a day and a SKY box uses 3kw h a week. Still that box is working all the time and could be unplugged when you're gone

The study's results show that among the three major consoles - Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii - Sony's gaming machine guzzles the most amount of electricity in one go, even more than a mid-sized refrigerator, assuming that one leaves their Sony console turned on with a game running for 24/7.

The difference between men and boys is the cost of running their toys!

I assume the kids use the PlayStation and the dads pay for it. Now who uses the hair dryer
