The US’ Natural Resources Defence Council have released a report detailing how much money it costs the average American to run a gaming console. And, by extension, how much money gamers could save by taking those consoles and throwing them in the closet/garbage. Were you to decomission a 360, for example, you’d save yourself $11 a year. $11! Binning a PS3 would save you $15, while packing the Wii away – provided you haven’t already done so – will save you…$3 a year. Best keep it around then, in case Gran comes over and wants a swing at that “computer bowling”.
