The Wii wins the cost because it was built to use barely energy, but its still something to think about.

Also if the Wii is so energy effient will the Next Nintendo portable will it be @ the GC power?

    Wow. At peak, they use about as much power as two light bulbs. I better watch out. That might tack on a few dollars a month...SpruceCaboose

Kids worried about electricity bill. :lol:Hand over that problem to your parents please. Last time I checked, I don't turn my 360 longer than 1 hour, PC runs on a very low power + underclocked, TVs are all LCDs. Now stop playing games for 5+ hours and your parents will actually thank you for it. Matter of fact, your future-self will.redneckdouglas
