Hi to all sifu xbox in this forum...
recently i've just bought xbox 360, so i wanna know how to shut down the console properly so it can long lasting..
appreciate if your guys can share the knowledge with me.. thank you very much..

Use the Xbox button on the controller. Press and hold it for a few seconds. U know how right? For me that is the preferred way.

Or just press the button on thwe console, no harm too

fast and furius.. take off plug instantly hehehehe

let the console idle for few minutes after playing games before turning it off.
it makes the chips less heat before the fans stop turning.

....the HDD will die very soon.....

This is not necessary, do not spread fear to others la

TS asking for ways to prolong his 360 lifespan.
i am telling him ways to make the component have less heat trapped inside.
heat is a silent killer to chips.

i usually exit the game 1st, @ the menu take out dvd, then only turn off, lol

I just press the big fat button on the console.
This piece of junk doesn't worth the time and efforts to take good care of it.

after finish playing,press the xbox logo for 3 secs and turn off console or press go to dashboard first then,press the xbox logo for 3secs and turn off console .

which is better ?

thanks bro..

i go to the dashboard, wait a while, press the button or use the controller

well, sometimes just too lazy or tired then just off

either way, still RROD on me, lol

Surprise to find out nobody use the method I personally prefer. Anyway, just another option here:

Press XBOX logo to launch the Blade Menu(During Game/Dashboard), go to Settings > Turn off Console

=)

That is too many button pressing

Whatever and however you turn off the XBOX 360. DO NOT shut off the main power until the LED indicator on the power brick turns orange (standby mode).

Why? When you turn off the console it will briefly run the fan up to full power to cool it down to prevent heat soak.

Trust me, what you know is history. No matter what chips they are as long as the design is tested and it operates according to recommended heat management system.

"Don't turn on ur XBOX360 and keep them in the box can prolong the life span of it
and prevent 3RROD from occur"

I like your thought.

however you turn it off, it doesn't matter. its gonna be a gamble depending on the manufacturing.

if it does go RROD, then too bad... X-Box 360 is a delicate item. unlike the first X-Box, now that can take some beating!
