Hippies worst nightmare
by Craig on June 4th, 2008
Grave news for Hippies around the world. No longer can they smoke dope and play PS3 whilst bitching about how wasteful our society is.
Aussie Consumer group Choice, claims that consoles such as Sony’s Playstation 3 chew up five times more energy than a fridge.
Apparently a fridge will go through £100 worth of electricity a year while a PS3 will cost £500 a year even if it is not used.
The XBox did not use quite so much juice but came second behind the Sony. The PS3 used ten times more power than the Nintendo Wii.
The report said that the Apple iMac with a built-in display, consumes just two-thirds of the energy consumed by a traditional PC and that LCD monitors were more energy efficient than the CRT versions.
Even makes me feel a little guilty even though i own an Xbox 360 and a PC with LCD monitor.
