speaking of energy consumption and mass market gaming heres a trivial little fact,

if your a console user lets say xbox 360, by buying a brand new xbox slim, it pays for itself in energy consumption compared to the previous models. youd be silly not to if you were a 360 user.

lol go green buy yet another xbox model !

Ok, found it.
Thats $300 and best case 70Watt in power savings.
@$.25/1kWh, $300 equals 1200kWh.
1200kwhr/70w=120000/7=17'150hrs of use at 100% load.
So you only have to play 2years 24/7 to amortize it, lol.

The energy used it production is not included.
