Is it better to turn off the 360 or just leave it on when you charge the controller? btw how many hrs does it take to charge to 100%?

If you turn it off, it remains on low power charging the controller, then turns off when it's  100%. I don't think it takes too long either, never timed it...

what do you mean by that, if you're using a wireless controller and have to charge the batteries I'd think you might want to just leave your 360 off if you're not playing t

You can charge the controller when you turn off the console just make sure you go into the dashboard before you turn it off or it will stop charging.

I just plug it in and then turn off the console.  It runs in low power mode until the controller is 100% and then shuts itself off.  It doesn't take very long.
