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.
Yes the slim uses 70 to 80 watts. 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.
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.
