Apparently! According to this site:
  http://ps3.qj.net/The-PS3-eats-watts-some-power-usage-figures/pg/49/aid/74602
the PS3 uses between 185 and 205 watts when displaying its dashboard or
playing a game. That's more than my backend server.

I'm glad most of my shows are SD, so I can watch nearly anything on either
my beefy BE or my 3 watt MediaMVP running MVPMC as an alternative Myth FE!
