Reader Josh was doing a spot of shopping in his local Meijer the other day and came across a couple of price stickers - for the long-awaited PlayStation Network pre-paid card - sitting in the aisle of the gaming section. No cards, just the stickers. The one pictured is for a $20 card, while Josh says there was also a sticker up for a $50 card as well. Sony are still quiet on a precise release date for these, but with this information heading out to retailers they hopefully won't be too far away.
PS3 uses five times more energy than a fridgeThat's just not coolBy Nick Farrell: Wednesday, 04 June 2008, 8:53 AMAUSSIE CONSUMER GROUP Choice, claims that consoles such as Sony's Playstation 3 chew up five times more energy than a fridge.Apparently a fridge will go through $50 worth of electricity a year while a PS3 will cost $250 a year even if it is not used.Vole's XBox did not use quite so much juice but came second behind the Sony. The PS3 used ten times more power than the Nintendo Wii.The report said that the Apple iMac with a built-in display, consumes just two-thirds of the energy consumed by a traditional PC and that LCD monitors were more energy efficient than the CRT versions.
