How Much Power Does Your Xbox 360 Use? | |
|

How much does your Xbox 360 cost you to run anyway? Is your significant other, roommate, or parents telling you that you’re running up the power bill? Read on for the scoop on exactly how much electricity you’re using, and which elements consume the most power. As a bonus, we even include some other interesting facts that you can use to impress your friends with. For Christmas, my amazing wife gave me a Kill-A-Watt – a small device that you plug into the wall to measure the wattage of the device plugged into it. Wattage is a measurement of the amount of work being done at a given instant, as opposed to over a period of time. For example, we say things like, “that light bulb is using 60 watts of power,” meaning that it is consuming 60 joules per second. See below for a quick explanation of what a joule is. | ||
