Is that 70W per hour?
I'm having ps2 flashbacks where people thought it necessary to hit the switch in the back as if machines get recuperative rest. Standby for life.
That's like $72/year to just leave it in standby.
Anyone at home and can look at their manual? It may say in there how much power it consumes in standby.
I can't believe that it uses 70W in standby. That's outrageous. That would mean that keeping your console in standby would cost you significantly more per year than a PS+ membership.
Doesn't look like they have it up yet.Oh really? Isn't there one online?
Pretty damn fast. A few seconds.how long to boot from standby? Is it VITA fast?
I wonder if they calculated the WORST case for standby?
As in downloading something, so the machine turned on for 5 minutes or whatever (like to sync Trophies and patches etc).
Just... can't be true lol.
Or perhaps it was installing a game from disc still? Very strange otherwise... Though you'd hear that.I wonder if they calculated the WORST case for standby?

Xbox One tells you how much power it uses (you choose this when setting machine up)
Full Standby (0.5w)
Suspend Standby (15w)
Yeah it gives the option every time.When I shut it off the first time it gave me the option - does it give the option each time you turn it off? That'd be cool.
XB1 doesnt have extra ARM chip on it.
Interesting power usage reported here:

STANDBY MODE 70-71W
STANDBY MODE (W/ DOWNLOAD) 73-74W
(Update: This story originally mis-stated the PS4's power consumption in standby mode as 70 Watts. Ars regrets the error).
As an added benefit for PlayStation Plus members, PS4 can automatically download game patches when in standby mode as well.
Yep. Freaked me out the first few times.Hey guys does your PS4 make a click noise when you fully power it on or off?
Ars technica updated. It's only 10W in standby, lol.

Well what's the point of standby then if it won't even keep the house warm this winter!?!??Ars technica updated. It's only 10W in standby, lol.

Not sure about off, but standby PS button push to user select was like 5 seconds when I timed it earlier.Anyone have boot times from standby and powered off?

Power down. Don't waste that power. It costs money and pollutes the atmosphere.
My entire entertainment center is on a power strip that gets shut off when it is not in use. Yours should be too.
Powering down a PS4 means you won't get the benefits of automatic updates. I hope you like making sandwiches.
Its bullshit, ignore him.
TV's have used standby for over a decade, if it reduced life we'd know by now.
Personally? Shut down for the most part - why induce significantly unnecessary wear-and-tear and potential problems when you don't really have to?
70W = no standby sorry.
Actually could someone who has a ps4 already and maybe even one of those power consumption adapters you plug in your power outlet check that out ?
Turn it off. You save a good bunch of energy and prolong the lifetime of your PS4.

Not really. Standby mode should use very little power.
How long does it take to wake up from standby? IIRC Xbone takes 13 seconds or so and the PS4 takes about 30 to start from a cold boot, but we don't know how fast it wakes up from standby. So could anyone test it out?
