Anyway, I'm one of those crazy people who likes to unplug their devices when not in use to avoid phantom power use. Just feel how hot your Wii while it's "off" even when you haven't played it for a while. So I don't like the Idea of leaving my console in standby mode all day to charge my controller for a couple hours.
