The PS3 Costs 40$ a year................ in power

Now these days it seems people should be afraid of posting news that may or may not fall in negative light at some of the members of this community, in constant fear of being labeled fanboy as i have many times before, i post this information!

Sony' s upcoming PlayStation 3, due on US shores on November 17, sucks up 380 watts of power, a far cry from the PS2 which sips a mere 45 watts. That means the PS3 uses more than twice the 160 watts consumed by the Xbox 360. The PS3' s 380 watts will cost you around $40 a year to run if you play it two hours a day.

now if you substract the 20$ from your Xbox Live subscribtion itll only cost you 30$ and it might be totally saved if you play more than 2 hours a day!







That was sarcasm, in case you didnt notice, but its still a lot of power!

but how much does the use? I would assume a nice amount as well...

I dont want to celebrate, I want to sell you hate.

could you refrase that to make sense?

Its not to dis you, i just dont understand what you mean!

The diffrence are that a non-fanboy doesn' t only post negative info on one console. A non-fanboy post information about every console and doesn' t try to make a console look bad.

I post news as i find it! more often than not i dont comment on the articles i post! Ill be one of the first to complain when MS makes moves that are unfitting, it just happens to be sony doing that more often than anyone else!

Edit: deleted stupid question....

I dont want to celebrate, I want to sell you hate.

Half that! it says so in the quote! it uses 160!

???

I bet Wii consumes half as much power of 360, who really cares, not worth making a thread about it.

*If you read the link, you will see the Wii uses less than the 360, and yes people are replying, so it is worth writting a thread about, if you dont like it, shut up.

You wasting space by trolling!

This thread is trollling tho, i could think of loads of littles bad points about consoles and make threads about it.

All these 360 fanboy threads are getting too much.

but yes ur right, i should ingore sillly threads like this.

Vx has done NOTHING wrong.

Jesus, stop crying Fanboy every 5 minutes its getting on my ninja-tits.


This story isnt for or against the system, in fact iI' m surprised those of you which are so quick to lambast Vx have not run in crying, well it is becuase it is so powerful that it uses so much power....

Ah well, seriously though!! I think powerconsumption is well worth making a thread about, it is very interesting to work out where all the power goes in any system.

In fact, Gunpei Yokoi created the gameboy out of the concept of " Withered Technolocgy" which went on the basis of making creative use of cheap, or low consumption parts. The game and watch was a product of a war between casio and sharp over lcd calculators, and it' s battery life, even in colour version anhiliated every other product of its time.

So personally speaking, power consumption is very interesting from time to time... get a grip guys..

To me too! but to those living with their mamas might not find it! like f3

I suppose your gonna get away with insulting people aswell. ITs sad man.

its only an insult if you consider it one. just dont troll the threads

First off....

LOL

So just wondering, how much will it cost for me for my 360 and possibly Wii?



But, more power comming into the unit means powerful graphics, AI, and that fancy jazz corecto? Well, then so the PS4 and Xbox 720 is going to cost around $90 a year?

...Random Madness, Forward...

But, more power comming into the unit means powerful graphics,

Shaminawha???!!!

I payed like $300 a month for electricity during the summer, $40 a year aint shit.

Its also all depends on where you live, last year I lived like 30 mins away from where I live now, consumed the same electricity during the summer, and only payed $120/month.

Yet you complain of Xbox Live?

the 40$ is just if you play 2 hours only a day, if you play more, itll cost you more, some people might even pay 80$. its the same kind of cash, its just shows more when you spend them in a store except on your electric bill

Yet you complain of Xbox Live?

OWNED

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

Uhh, the short answer is no. There isn' t a direct correllation with watts to performance, generally the more watts you have in relation to a time periode you have better performance however some electronics are more energy efficient. Hence the reason in the computer industry they always talk about performance per watt.

We don' t know how the PS3 and 360 compare in terms of performance per watt, so we cannot make the presumption that the PS3 is more powerful because it uses more electricity.

Another thing is that they both have completely different architecture, so even if you could understand the performance per watt (which they cannot be compared to eachother) the machines will treat data differently so its impossible to know which performs better based on how energy efficient and energy consuption.

To illustrate my point, take a look at AM2 and Core 2 Duo, the intel chips perform better yet operate at a much lower wattage.

If you want another example, my new computer has a 450 watt power supply and probably uses 350 watts when gaming. Yet the 360 shitts all over my computer with games like Gears of War and Mass Effect. So more Watts does not mean more performance. I haven' t even mentioned other non related things like the HDD,disc reader,fans that eat up power without really affecting performance.

We need to drop this discussion about which is most powerful.

The diffrence between ps3/xbox360 is gonna be much smaller then for ex a xbox and ps2.

And even though xbox and ps2 had the best looking games,GC made perhaps the best looking game with RE4,yes it came to ps2 with downscaled graphic later but still.

You see how it is?

Give right dev time and experiment with hardware and anything can happend.

Ps3 might crush 360 in graphic ,and 360 might crush ps3,its all up to developers,but more truly i think it will be equal,with us arguing ovber some diffrent IP next to each other.

And more watt doesnt mean more power ffs.
A car that drinks oil like beer doesnt make it run ten times better,now does it?

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

quez?

Rest in PEACE Cetra and GANGSTA you guys will be missed..........

Ladies and gentlemen, make your peace with all, and pray to your God(s), the world is ending

I dont want to celebrate, I want to sell you hate.

Worst thing about this is that the ps3 [and 360/wii] have stand by modes which are retarded, wastes you money and destorys the planet. Funky man.

Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!

Who are you and what did you do with Quez?
