How do you turn off the Xbox 360 safely?

Answer 1

There are two easy ways of turning of your console. One is to press the green circle button on the actual console (the same button that tells you how many controllers you have connected). Another is to hold the home button (the Xbox logo in the center of your controller) for three seconds until a menu pops up asking if you want to turn of your controller or the console itself. In this case, select "Turn Off Console".
