    I can't wrap my head around why it would be bad to use a UPS. One's and 4's are like little PC's...and you bet your *** you plug a PC into a UPS.

        I have mine on a power strip. They said not to have the 360 on one either, but my 360 has always been on one too.

            Hmm, let me see if I can help. Do you have the box set to "Instant On" mode, where it powers up in ~10 seconds?

            I've had the most luck saying Xbox On in this way:
            [Face Kinect, firmly say] "Xbox" [pause 1 second] "On"

            The old gamerpics are a different resolution than the new ones, so they are tiny. Choose a nice new one from the list.

                OK I got the "Xbox on" command to work. Now when you turn it off how do you know if its in standby or completely off ?
                It’s easier to do the right thing, than to explain why you didn’t.

                  If the power brick has a white light, it's on or standby. If it's orange, it's completely off.

                        I'm hanging out at the call center today and I've heard that when you try to install a game from disc, it first downloads all the updates, then starts the install. So it will sit at 0% for a while, even though it's doing something.

                        The workaround is to install the game offline, then connect. Either way, it takes the same amount of time, there's just no illusion of progress.

                          They take surprisingly long. Ghosts took about 30 minutes for me

                            Thanks, should have read the manual lol.

                            P.S. damn Ryse is taking forever to download for me. At 7 percent and its been downloading for atleast 3 hours now. IDK why but downloads for me have gone to crap on consoles the past couple of months. Maybe its time for a new router.

                              Took me quite awhile to install X-wing on my PC...it was on like 9 floppy discs!
