Turn Those Consoles Off When Not Playing

I thought this article about gaming console power usage was interesting, particularly because I always worry that my PS/3 and XBox 360 are still using a lot of electricity while powered off. However, at the equivalent of about $0.04/week and $0.06/week, respectively, I now feel pretty good about the fact that my Sony and Microsoft Fun Machines are always turned off when I'm not using them.

Of course, for every person like me, there are probably ten others who just couldn't care less how much they waste the planet's resources. So it likely won't even matter in the long run...
