Um first of all im not a lady my name is Angelo
I unplug it from my surge protector once ipowered down and i know im done gaming for the day if you guys think its better to just leave it in standby mode ill do that but like I said never had problems doing this with electronics before and you save power even in standbye mode were the light is just red your still useing some power.
It saves you about $2.00 a year. I just wish there was a switch to power off the lights rather then resorting to unplugging.
