Blog #11: PS3 contributes to global warming?

Blog #11: Find a text about a global issue. So...this could be anything essentially, due to one's definition of a global issue. Anyways, the issue in this post is global warming. Now, this article is about the idea of PS3s causing global warming. This is because the PS3 uses a lot of energy, and takes a lot of electricity. Here's a part of the article: "Have you pre-ordered your PlayStation 3 yet? If you have it recommends you top-up the pre-payments on your electricity account at the same time. The US version of the PS3 comes with a whopping 380 Watt power supply. That's over twice as much as its main competitor the Xbox 360 with its 165W unit, and over seven times more power hungry than the PlayStation 2. If you were to combine a PS3 with a LG 71" HD Ready Plasma TV to take full advantage of the amazing graphics you could be burning 1.4kWh (kilowatts) of power per hour and if you're a serious gamer that could cost you £1.19 for a five hour session." So, opinions, opinions... Well, ANYTHING could be contributed to global warming. Anything that uses energy could be linked to global warming...so I wouldn't consider this article very valid. Of course, using "buzz words" like "PS3" and "global warming" will get people's attention, but hopefully most people can look past the buzz words and instead look at the pointlessness of the article.
