The power usage of the PS3 at full tilt is just shy of 300 watts.
300 watts 24/7 will cost (guestimate from my own power usage bills and observations - feel free to correct me if you've got more details) about $30 a month in the midwest + or - $10 a month so say $20-40 a month.
This is my observation on month to month bills based on shutting my PC off at night and leaving it on, and then comparing bills several times. (I've taken into account the seasonal differences as well)
For those of you who fold, more importantly those of you who are old enough to live on your own (pay your own electric bill) --- would your idealogy change on this if you realized you were donating between $20-$40 a month towards your power bill to contribute to the folding communicty?
