Consoles ain't all that green, except the Wii

I've got my excuse to unload my 360 and get a Wii! (http://green.yahoo.com/blog/the_conscious_consumer/21/stop-wasting-money-video-games-and-energy-efficiency.html)

The Wii's weakness is that it uses relatively more power in its "standby" mode when the wireless is on -- sort of a nuisance, even though I see why they did it.

I tend to unplug my Xbox 360 and my Wii when not in use.

Meh. I leave mine off when I'm not playing. Although, we're talking about getting a Wii, since so goddamn many 360 arcade games won't let you have two players on one machine, which defeats the whole fucking purpose of having Catan or Uno on it in the first fucking place... Sorry, I'm a bit pissed about that right now, as I found yet another game I wasted points on won't let me play it with my wife unless we go out and get another fucking console. :mad:

So, yeah, Wii's looking pretty good.

Xbox versus Wii is an annual difference of $8
