Is It Ok To Unplug My Xbox A lot?

Post » Thu Oct 04, 2012 4:39 pm

I tend to unplug my Xbox at least once a day. I have it plugged into the wall directly. No power surge. Is it bad to continuously plug and unplug it? I unplug it every night before sleep and before work as well.

? I have mine in a surge protector and I turn it off every night and have not had any problems.

Just wondering if it's bad for the power supply/brick to continuously do it.

I've been pulling the plug on mine whenever I stop using it for years, my first first Xbox got the red ring after about two years, so I had it replaced for free about two years ago, still no problems.

I don't see why it would be. If I may ask... why do you unplug it so often?

I looked at the title and assumed it was an EF thread :P.

I think you'll be Ok.

As long as you're not unplugging it while the Xbox is running, you should be fine. Rather than unplugging the wall socket, I usually just unplug that middle plug that fits into the power brick.
