Default Re: The Wii is Here.

Since I don't have a connection yet, I can't help you there.

What I can do is quote this blog post on Kotaku.

Quote:
Wii:

- In Standby Mode: 10w
- Idle @ Wii menu: 17w
- Running a Wii Game (Test with Zelda / Trauma Center) in 480i: 17w

37" Sharp Aquos LCD TV:
- In Standby Mode: 40w
- Turned on: 180w

XBox 360:
- In Standby Mode: 2w
- Idle @ Dashboard: ~140w
- Running a Game: ~160w
- Playing a DVD: ~110w
Wii uses fewer watts than a light bulb when it's running a game.

Haha. That's amazing.
