Re: Love-Hate said by xenophon:Sounds like native Netflix on PS3 (w/out disc) is coming later this year, also with 5.1 and subtitles. They use too much power, both the PS3 and Xbox 360 use around 70 to 80 watts. I can use a stand alone box that uses between 7 watts(ie. Roku) and 25 watts(ie. TiVo) instead to watch Netlflix.(15 to 18 watts would be a BD player with netflix) |

| Doesn't the new PS3 Slim use less power? I recall reading it uses 50% less. Another model is coming soon too that might use even less. Also, I would think it only uses significant power when all processors are stressed when gaming. Would be surprised if it uses full power to just stream video. |

The old pS3 used twice that. 70 to 80 watts is on the main page doing nothing.
In standby the PS3 uses 9 watts while the 360 uses less than half a watt.
This is the PS3 slim and the 360 slim. |

Up to 85 watts just to stream video on PS3 slim. Yowza. I had a Roku but now use PS3 since I can also do Hulu and Playon. Wish Roku would support DLNA and Hulu. |
