Can you switch off the xbox one?

Hey, I'm thinking of getting the Xbox one but I've heard from people that you can't switch the console off and It only goes to sleep mode. Is this true? And can I just switch off from the PowerPoint if you can't do it from the console.
Thanks :)

no you can't if you do it xbox one will explode ,in fact they ship xbox one with 120v battery inside the box

Yes it can turn off.  You just can't turn off Kinect when x1 is on.  But Kinect can go in sleep mode.

You can switch it off from the Powerpoint Office 13 app here.

Just trying to give back to the community that raised me yo.

That is one thing that worries me about this console. I don't see a power button anywhere.

I don't want my electricity bill to go up. So unfortunately, I'm gonna have to skip this console.

My monitor doesn't have a physical button for on/off. Is capacitive, you just touch it.

As for electrical bills, you're kidding me? Computers today don't waste nothing when in sleep mode. 

I would think so. the Xbone could probably have been turned off even when it had its disliked features. 

I just read this, This better not be true!!!! http://www.gamenguide.com/articles/7752/20130802/xbox-one-remain-standby-mode-10-years-straight.htmhardyz200

Looks like I was right. The lack of On/Off button really did mean the console would be always on. This is not good.

I was told that It is illeagal to unplug the system once you turn it on.

You can but you have to wave at Kinect and say "bye bye"

TC posted the same message on the Xbox IGN board. He is stealth trolling. You ain't fooling anyone!

Anyhow, yes, the system an Kinect can both be shut down completely.  It was already addressed in previous interviews but further details will be coming soon.

"Yes, you can turn the system completely off," the Microsoft rep said. "This would use no power and turn everything off. Well share more details about how it all works later."  http://kotaku.com/xbox-ones-kinect-can-turn-off-microsoft-says-noting-510100564

Im not trolling, Its just that i wanted a clear answer and you just gave it to me so thank you.

Nope. Even if you plug it from the wall the Kinect uses a wireless energy transfer unit (WETU)to keep track of your daily life. There is simply no turning off...ever. 

Pull the plug. If that doesn't work, let it blend.

Nope. When you buy it the government come round and install a hardline direct to both MI6 and the CIA.
