From personal experience, I noticed my electricity bill went up a bit with the original PS3. It can use up to 200 watts, but the slim models are more energy-efficient around 70-80 watts.
Just plug it in and play! Don't worry too much about the wattage.
It varies! The original PS3 'fat' model uses about 180-200 watts, whereas the later 'slim' and 'super slim' models use much less, around 70-80 watts when gaming.
