POPSIdle PS3s cost you $250 a year in energy bills. This may convince you to turn off your consoles. According to research conducted by Australia-based Choice, folks who don't physically turn off their PS3 (by flipping the power button) will add $248.28 to their electric bill a year. An idle Xbox 360 costs $184.32 in energy consumption. Idle Nintendo Wiis cost a mere $23.26. The only consumer electronic product tested that rivals the PS3 is Plasma TVs, which cost $232.10 a year if left powered on.

POPSTop Games, Consoles In Japan No Longer Nintendo's As reported by Ars Technica, sales of the PSP have surpassed DS and Wii sales in Japan. Also, popular Playstation 2 game "Gundam Mosou Special" have surpassed everybody's favorite Nintendo game, "Super Smash Bros Brawl" -- which, obviously, is still popular too, just not as popular as Gundam. I think it's weird that it's a Playstation 2 game and not a PS3 game.
