I don't doubt that consoles could be greener. But, I suspect that maybe we should focus on things like electrcity generation and total life cycle polution from automobiles before we worry about jumping up and down on top of the Wii.
Seriously, this is the truth. DBA's can be the most pompus silo builders in any organization. The only weak arguement the lot of people on this thread can come up with is "bad cross joins"... Really? That's it. If so, send them to a querry construction class, stop whining and give them access. Here is a hint for free, not everyone besides you is stupid.
On a side note: Perhaps you should look at why your "service" is so lacking that the customer is asking out of it. After all, if you were giving them exactly what they wanted, they wouldn't be asking to go around your "wonerderful" service.
I've been thinking about this and it has to be a publicity stunt. This is an MMO that wouldn't make the news on Slashdot or anywhere without controversy. So, they make up some crazy BS and then back off of it next week. Both stories get picked up by blogs and maybe, if enough of a stink is made, national news sites.
The real problem will come the first time some 17 yr old is harrassed by the verification crew. I'd be pretty upset thinking some admin had pictures of my daugter up in his cube and a bottle of lotion handy.

Insert bad joke about Iraq here
