As fans prepare for the launch of Sony's PlayStation 3 in Europe, energy information website Sust-it has recommended that buyers prepare for some eye-watering electricity bills.
The site warns that the US version of the PlayStation 3 comes with a sizeable 380W power supply, which is over twice as big as its main competitor, Microsoft's Xbox 360 at 165W, and over seven times more power hungry than the PlayStation 2. VnuNet has more.
