Recently, Joystiq, a popular gaming blog, asked their readers the question "Do you leave your game console on standby?" The poll provoked a lively discussion with many comments, and also inspired this follow-up post, which examined how manufacturers might make some simple energy-saving improvements to the consoles. :: Joystiq




















I never leave these on standby. They are allplugged into one power strip thing and I just turn that off in one motion.
My entire entertainment center (tv, dvd, audio, playstation) is plugged into a power strip that I shut down whenever its not in use.
a little late - but the Wii is apparently going to have a standby mode whee it is connected to the internet 24 hours a day so it can download new content.
Does anyone know how you are suppose to turn the ps3 properly. I just turn it off when its on the ps3 menu, is this ok?
