The percentage of electronics at the end of their lives which were recycled.
The EPA found that the percentage remained consistent from 1999-2005. Even as recycling rates went up, the amount of electronics reaching end of life outpaced the increase, leaving the figure static. (source: EPA, July 2008)

Nice review there Ben, but could you or someone answer me why it took 45 seconds to eject a disc? And why it still takes 6? Whats the hold up?
I think what he's saying is that if you start with the unit turned off, and press "eject", it takes a total of six seconds to power up and extend the disc tray. That should be acceptably fast, I'd think.
Ya, plus why would you be so concerned with the 45 seconds on the older unit if they have improved upon it. There's a better option, no need to worry about the past.
6 second is bogus. It's from "fake" power off. The unit only shuts off the display and drive. All electronics are still 100% power-on. The unit is warm to the touch when you use "Quick Start" mode. For the real power up from complete off, it still takes about 20+ seconds.
zerocalories, stop being a dick with the affiliate links please. Every story you do this. IMO it should be a bannable offense.
