In that case find out how much you pay for a KW/h. The PS3 will use 200W/h so every 5 hours will be a KW/h. A month of running the PS3 will use around 150KW/h...

Yeah I'm going to leave my PS3 running all the time so that Folding@home can cure cancer. Meanwhile I'm consuming more energy, which is contributing to global warming and the depletion of the O-zone which is causing increases in skin cancer.





There aren't any ozone-depleting substances used in running the PS3, unless of course you've modified the cooling system for CFC refrigerants (an illegal but effective way to keep your console from overheating). So I wouldn't worry too much about the ozone layer.

As for the global warming, you could always hook your PS3 up to a wind generator. Would be kind of cool. Or possibly a treadmill -- think about it, you could play games and get some exercise at the same time.

Have fun,
