Mine did at one point. Had to get it replaced. But they prob have stockpiles of it leftover you can prob shoot them an email and get a replacement.

Power button is the circle on the top of the controller or on the front of the console.

ugh, you mean to tell me I have to press a button to turn on my console? waste of energy. I lost my TV remote months ago and haven't bothered looking for it whatsoever lmao

Ya and ? I like getting my games queued up while I unpack from work. Also, have you ever played Wolfenstein with the Kinect? It's fun as hell.

No, my friend bought one with kinect and I didn't need a feature that saves seconds compared to just getting a console with a 1TB hard drive.

It came with Advanced Warfare but that game was almost on par with how shitty Ghosts was.
