Shutting off your Gamecube

[Flaccid Acid]

How do you guys shut off your gamecube? I just click the off button then take the game out. In the manual it says to open it then wait for it to stop spinning then take it out, then shut the system off. But I dont know anyone who does that.

[Viper]

I do both actually, depending on how far it is to the off buton from where I'm sitting.

[Michael]

I just turn mine off, somethings press the reset button then turn it off.

[Sandman]

I just turn it off.

[Markopolo356]

I just turn it off without removing the game or anything.

[Bloodman]

i turn it off. When i shut it off and take out the game i wait for it to stop spinning.

[GleefulFarewell]

I turn mine off...open the lid thing...wait for the game to stop spinning...then i remove the game...placing it in its case...

[Vishus]

The manual says that because when its on it has an auto-stop while the disc is spining when you open it. When you turn it off you have to wait a while. You don't want to stop the disc yourself. Thats how you keep the system living on after a while.

I just turn mine off and then take the game out.

i wish i could turn off my gamecube with my wavebirb. i also wish my wavebird could double as a universal remote controll.

everytime you stop the disc spinning an angel loses its wings :nono:

i rarely remove my games from the console. funnest console to turn off was the SNES. you`d see how high you could make the cartridge jump by smashing the eject button. those were the days.....

I leave my Gamecube running all the time. 436:43 in Tales of Symphonia. Oh ya!

[shadowrunner]

^wow thats stupid.

my friend did that then stood on the power cord and burnt his foot, lol.

I just turn it off. I change games by opening the lid, replacing the disc, and reseting.

[Serene Samus]

I turn it off, open the lid, wait for the disk to stop spinning, take it out, then close the lid. Or I just turn it off and leave, leaving the disk in the cube because I'm gonn aplay that game again the next time I turn the gamecube on.

[dave]

i open the lid while still on, wait for the disc to stop spinning, press the little thingy and remove the disc. close the lid and switch the power off.

[koten]

Turn it off and leave the game there until next time i play.

If I'm switching games, i lightly press the center button so the disk stops spinning, then pop it out.

I do exactly the samething. Sometimes leaveing the game inside though.

[Skull Kid]

[ELUNO]

I just turn it off and leave it if I'm not going to play anything else.

[aman]

I simply turn it off and remove the disc while it is in mid-spin.

That would be cool... I just turn it off.
