Its appalling that under high load it uses the same power as 3 SETS OF XMAS TREE LIGHTS! OMFGWTF!!!! Get a grip people lol I have to say I’m shocked at the tremendous power consumption of the PS3.

I read an interview where they basically flat-out said, "we started out figuring we'd just make a gamecube that was more efficient."

It needs to be that low to fit in such a small case and require only one small fan. More power usage means more heat generated (at least until someone invents a 100% efficient CPU and becomes the richest person in the world).
