Refrigerator or Playstation?
BY FAR the playstation! If you left it on all the time it would use FIVE TIMES as much energy as an average sized fridge!
XBox 360 is a little better, but not much.
TURN EM' OFF IF YOU'RE NOT USING EM'!!!! YEESH.

I believe this because during the winter, when I was doing some heavy gaming, I noticed my electric bill was higher.

Yeah, they were just reporting about it on CNN. I was shocked. The fridge is quite an energy hog.
I thought they were gonna say it used about the same or a little more, but FIVE TIMES! Wow!

Did they say how much it uses on standby? I turn it off, but it's never really off unless you flip the switch on the back.

They didn't, but they said make sure you do turn it off (I assume they meant standby).
They claim a lot of people never turn them off.

But if it uses that much power, I bet it will keep your coffee warm.

Most definitely Web. I've had mine overheat a few times on me, but luckily, it wasn't damaged.

At that much energy usage I better get more than warm coffee. I should be able to make a grilled cheese on it while I game!

I'll have to try that on my other system that's all messed up. Maybe it would get it to work right.
