Did anyone know about this? - Lenticule - 06-03-2010

I just found this out accidentally. I held my "start" button on my controller and it turned it on. I never knew that you could turn the controller on this way. I thought you had to use the xbox guide button. If you didn't know try it for your self.

PS: The xbox guide button is not what I am talking about. I am talking about the Start button which is located to the right(→) of the xbox guide button.

Yea, it was weird. My controller was sitting in my lap and I was holding it and I pressed the start button and the led's started lighting up and then my xbox turned on. I thought that I may have held the xbox guide button as well, so I turned off my controller and pressed just the start button (making sure of it too) and sure enough it turned on. It is weird and I wonder if microsoft purposely made it like that. They must have but maybe not.

LOL, old trick. But it's helpful :] Microsoft just wants us to be stuck to the couch all day gaming hahaha.

LOL. I never knew that actually, but it doesn't really make a difference. A huge Xbox button is next to it, might as well hold that down? :]

Well what would happen if the senors in the controller for the Xbox button broke, not allowing the xbox button to work anymore? There's always a use for something. lol

Yes, I knew about that. I figured it out on the day that I purchased my first Xbox 360. Tongue
