I've got enough devices heating up my apartment so I've skipped the PS3 thus far. If they finally release one that won't make me have to call PECO for a new electric meter (mine's not digital, it's still got those little mechanical gears) then they'll have my money as I've been wanting a Blu-Ray player and the commercials for GT5 are really making me want one.
Thing is, they're claiming that the chip will require 40% less power to run, not that the PS3 will require 40% less power. Does anyone know what percentage of the currently-monstrous power draw is due to that particular chip?
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
aww shucks. i like my ps3 dorm room heater
At least, it doesn't stop working! ;)
With my TV, 360 and surround sound system on, I have my own heater for winter and it probably even uses less energy than a conventional space heater.
Hell yeah.
thats exactly what i use mine for =D
but i have the old 95nm so its even warmer
