Running a GameCube (23 watts) literally nonstop for a year would use a little over 200 kWh.
Assuming average USA electricity prices, in 2002 electricity cost ~$0.09 per kWh, so one year of that would cost an additional $18.00. That number only tends worse going forward.
I love when I idly wonder something about a post, click into the comments, and the top comment is exactly, specifically the answer to my idle curiosity. Cheers.
Yeah, total cost is going to be at least $0.15 USD / kWh, and can be as high as $0.25 USD / kWh. I’ve lived all over the US and it’s never been less than $0.15 USD / kWh.

A GameCube memory card would cost about $11.
As usual, it’s more expensive to be poor.

9 cents is probably just generation. I’d expect to pay about the same for delivery.

paying over $0.40/kWh where I am.
San Diego? SDGE is the worst.
