this is old data now.

the author is referring to both the older ps3 model and also the pre-jaspar xbox model. which explains the old games (gow 1 and nba 2k7) being tested.

both of the later ps3 and xbox 360 models use 30% less power

haven't got time to back it up so someone will need to search the original article for me to prove that the author is reusing old data that is obselete.

Maybe if they linked a bunch of PS3's together, researchers could finally find a conclusive link between man-made carbon emissions and global temperature trends? But then maybe there are some things that even networked PS3's can't find an answer to.

My Wii and Xbox 360 are the greenest console in my house at the moment... They are the only two not turned on...

i remember reading a comparison a long time ago now. good reminder thought to those that leave consoles on. alot of the time if i'd use my ps3 to play something and then go off for a while i'll just leave it on the xmb. now i've started turning it off though, it won't really effect the cost tbh but will certainly prolonge the life. I really wouldn't trust leaving my 360 sitting on standby though lol
