It’sno secretthat your game console is not locomote to do much to pull through you money on your next world power billhook . However , Energy Star is finally prepared to set rule of thumb on vim consumption for these gadget . In order realize an Energy Star seal of approval , manufacturers will have to use less than one W during ‘ off ’ mode , and less than 5 watts in standby . The devices must also mechanically power down after seat idle for an minute . Furthermore , any set - top loge and DVD / Blu Ray / Movie playback functions have to arrive within 10 % of current Energy Star prerequisite . As you know from all the other appliance in your home , being Energy Star indorse is a choice , not a requirement . So it will be up to the manufactures to resolve whether or not to comply — and somehow I doubt that many will so so right off the bat . I , for one , frequently pull up stakes my console on intermission for hr while I go and do something else . That is one way I can see powering down after an hour being a veridical beef .
