Xbox turn off then say yes. problem solved.



Around the Network

So if there is a commercial or TV show that says Xbox on and Xbox off at the right intervals continuously, the system will keep turning itself on and off? xD

Or what if a video game says XBOX OFF really loud and it turns your system off when you have't saved for the past hours?



Never thought of this problem since my cable is going through my Xbox. So when I watch TV the Xbox is already on. But you can turn off the Xbox On function.



Best commercial ever!

The command is Xbox Turn Off. Then it asks if you're sure.

But, you're watching tv. Shouldn't your xbox already be on?



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

So, the interval would be: Xbox on, Xbox turn off, yes, Xbox on, Xbox turn off, yes, and etc?

No, because the Xbox wont turn on quickly enough for the Xbox turn off command to even register. Besides, when would this ever happen? If your TV is giving your Xbox commands its because you didn't calibrate the Mic to drown out the background noise of the TV at a higher than normal volume.

Ah good to know. And obviously this would never happen! I'm just making a light hearted joke about this humourous news!
