198w ago - The PS3 Slim was
reported as running on 34% less power than the previous 'fat' PlayStation 3 model, however, that figure is inaccurate.
CNET's Crave (linked above) decided not to take Sony's press releases at their word, and instead plugged a Slim into machines to test its actual power output. And their findings are a little surprising!
The Slim uses a lot less power than Sony have given it credit for. In standby mode, it's around 70% more efficient, while playing games and Blu-Rays its just over 50% more efficient.
In relative terms, it appears the PS3 Slim is now a lot more efficient than it's fatter, older, more wasteful brother. Those interested can check out the Power Consumption chart below!
Also - it's a bit distressing that I use over 170 W everytime I watch movie (leaving asside TV & amp. consumption)
Meaning the Old one can play ps2 games? I dont get it
As for the Slim using less power I thought that was obvious, especially since it has a die shrink on the CPU, and they've removed some stuff out of it.
got that right, the new slim PS3 is pitiful compared to the old.. I am a proud owner of the fat ps2!
