Should be a significant amount lower, but you're right... the 150w is pushing it, especially with how some of those ratings are formulated.

Just FYI, I was looking into wattages regarding F@H and found this: "...Stanford's estimate of 200W per PS3 (for original units manufactured on the 90nm process), ...The Cell processors used in current units of the Playstation 3 utilize 65nm technology (lowering power consumption to around 115W per PS3), with another upgrade to 45nm planned (further dropping consumption to around 80W/PS3). This will further increase the power efficiency of the contribution from Playstation 3 units."

So it seems that 65nm results in a 42.5% decrease in consumption and the 45nm subtracts another 17.5%...
