I believe its about the equivilant of a 75 watt light bulb, maybe a little less. Not too much, but it is considerably more than the original playstation, or even the dreamcast.

There, i read the manual,it says Power Consumption=79 Watts.(equivalent to tv)

I kind of worry becoz recently my home\'s electricity bills are increasing frighteningly.Maybe the others are surfing internet non-stop.

79 Watts....While ON. Yep, that\'s like turning on a 75 Watt lightbulb.

While in STBY it\'s like the clock radio by your bed.

OK, so its a little more than a 75 bulb... I said a little less... In any case, my TV set says 209 watts!

Guys, i know power consumption is up, an electricity bills have gone up, so is gas at the pumps. Damn! :thepimp:
