Power consumption - Part 2
Hi, this time I have measured my Xbox 360.
I had heard quite drastic numbers so I was prepared for anything but as it turned out it wasn't quite as bad as I had feared
Xbox 360 (Normal PAL Version with HDMI)
| Application | Consumption | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Standby | 3W | |
| Downloading | 80W | Console in standby turned off while downloading over XBLA |
| DVD Playback |
90W |
|
| Dashboard |
100W | |
| Playing |
100 - 125W |
Tested it with Burnout Paradise and Lost Odyssey |
A harddrive can add 5W to these numbers but they also vary by that amount so it could be irrelevant.
Another thing I noticed was that this loud noise which the Xbox360 makes doesn't come from the harddrive. It seems to be one of the fans which is weird since it is a sound that I normaly would have linked to that of a harddrive. I wished Microsoft would have taken as much care with the internal design of the Xbox360 as Sony had with the PlayStation3 but, hey, you can't have everything. Still - for a game like Lost Odyssey the noise level of the console is very close to ruining the whole gaming experience.
