The new PS3 use 65nmRSX and 65nm Cell. The MAX power usage is under 120 watts.

Basically, you use less than $.05 for a movie (depending on price per Kwh). How many people can afford $.05 for a movie?

My mistake. I thought it said 200 watts on the sticker on the bottom. Mine is the 60 gb model though.
