Xbox Question

MRBARKER · 12 Aug 2007 at 02:26

Just got my first Xbox 360 today , my question is when you turn the console on you get flashing green lights , then you turn on the xbox controller , i get a light on my controller in the top left coner marker No 1 , i get the same on the console same postion , is this normal ?

Yes, read your manual

One cool thing to try, if you tip your console flat/upright when it's on (WITHOUT A DISC IN IT OR IT WILL SCRATCH THE **** OUT OF IT) the position of the light changes on the fly due to a weight inside

Yes. The top left of *** controller and the top left of the consoel indicate there is a controller occupying position 1. Connect a second controller and the top right on *** consoel will go green also, adn *** second controller will have the top right light on

Its all normal.

edit - note to self, buy a new keyboard

Yep, just edited my post a couple of minutes ago.

It's when those green lights go red that you need to start worrying! LOL.

Might as well mention as you might not know, that you can turn on the console by holding down the guide button in the middle of the controller.

And to reiterate, dont move the console when a disc is spinning!

I don't move it with a disc in it at all just in case.

I 'believe' it's actually suggested in the manual never to move the console with a disk in it, even when off.

The best thing is being able to turn the console on with the controller, just hold down the Guide button

It used to be that every disc spinner that I owned had a little circular item in the middle of the tray that the disc pushed onto to stop if flying off. I can't help thinking that it is a better system, then again hardly any disc spinners do that and none of mine have ever eaten discs.

you should get a good hours worth of play before the red rings

I recommend shaking the Xbox 360 vigourously when it is a) on and b) has a disc in it. You get wonderful aural pleasure, followed by a delightful ring on the disc, I think it's a tribute to Halo or something.

LOL, don't say that, some one proberly will.

and if you do it with one of the halo games in the tray it unlocks a secret level that explains EVERYTHING!!

If you replug the console from the wall (wo/ disc & hdd) very quick you get 3rod. Great prank to pull on a friend.

You'll get a 0001 error.
