@Daelusca: restarting is powering down the console completely. Sounds like you are holding in the xbox button and shutting it down, and not placing in stand by mode, which is "instant on." Stand by is an instant boot up and takes no time at all.
@Daelusca: When mine sleeps it instantly turns on, but I never experienced it being completely turned off and instantly turning on. It always had to go to the green loading screen for 30 seconds. When in sleep mode and a game is on stand by, the game will start up instantly as well. How often do you actually restart the unit?
My current fat Xbox 360 scratches discs. You can see a circle on my discs. Since being able to install games it has greatly reduced it. Another issue I am having is the center of the discs cracking. My skyrim disc is pretty much on its last leg because of it.
Out of all my friends with Xboxs, new and old, I was the only one having this issue. None of them experienced disc scratching.
I remember when I was a young lad and my father bought me a PSX. When I opened the box there was a piece of wood similar to this and said a similar message. Shortly after the crushing blow that I thought Santa gave me, life started to spiral out of control. I turned to hard drugs and alcohol at a very young age. Things were getting pretty grim until I was on a gaming website, a lot like gamespot, where a guy posted a link to a website where I could make 5000$ a week cash from my own home. Once I clicked on the link and found out it was yet another hoax in life, I felt another crushing blow right in the feelers. I then came to the conclusion that it must have been the same man that issued me the wooden PSX, Santa.
I've yet to get over this. Thanks for listening to me guys. I feel it has helped. Merry Christmas.
