Save Money: Turn Off Your PS3 After Use! The NRDC’s study found that Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii machines in the U.S. use about as much electricity in a year as every home in San Diego combined. Much of the energy comes from machines that are left on, but not in use, the NRDC said. Of the three consoles, Sony’s PS3 was the biggest energy hog, followed by Microsoft’s Xbox 360. Nintendo’s Wii is by far the most energy efficient—and even uses less electricity than its predecessor, GameCube. http://www.businessweek.com/innovate/games...rvationist.html

But Seagate, one of the bigger hard-drive makers around, just decided to go even slimmer. The company announced Monday the Momentus Thin, a new 2.5-inch-based laptop hard drive that's 25 percent thinner, at only 7mm.

Video Game Tax Coming to a State Near You? http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9595_22-6229759.html The New Mexico legislature has introduced a new tax measure, HB583, that would force consumers to pay a 1 percent excise tax on purchases of video games, gaming consoles, and TVs. The revenue generated from the game and TV tax would be used to fund a new state educational effort aimed at getting kids out of the house more.

Saitek Eclipse keyboard - $35 @ Radioshack I like the fact that the light shines throught the keys as well as around, and I can change the level of illumination. The keys depress like butter. 9.2/10 Flexiglow Cyber Snipa gamepad - $28 @ Xoxide This thing blows so far. I've only had it 4 days, but the keys have to be depressed in the middle, otherwise they stick. The SPACE key is in a perfect position, but if you dont push right on the lettering, it doesnt work. Ill give it another week or so, then Ill ebay it. 3.6/10 I would write a review, but it would be too negative.
