I think the point is there should be no need for powerstrips. Damn, if you're lazy enough to leave everything on standby, I don't think you'd bother buying a powerstrip! Not to mention using a powerstrip means getting up from the sofa to turn the switch on instead of just using the remote. It can't be that hard for manofacturers to put a real 'off' button on every electronic device (except clocks and perhaps VCRs). But that's just an idea, of course.
P.D.: First post ever!! ^_^
