How do you turn off controllers?

Hi everyone

Is there a way to turn off one controller? When my older brothers and I play one of them's always got to go. Is there a way to turn off individual an controller?

thanks

Wait like 5 mins they auto-disconnect / go off usually?

or go to the controller menu and click reconnect then just dont reconnect the second one.

you should be able to just tap the power button to turn off an individual controller. just a little way to save batteries.

just a tap callme.nasty? maybe our taps were too long :P when ever we tried that it would turn off the entire system.

wait a minute. when i said "you should be able to" i meant, "they should have made it so you could do that."

They turn off by themselves after a certain time yo, trust

yeah they do, but it'd be a nice feature if you could just turn them off.

the batteries last a long time anyhow. not like the extra 3 mins it takes to auto-off is gonna take a huge chunk of the runlife.

i didnt no how to turn the remotes off either & my batteries died already! i got it last sunday and they died by friday.

just dont touch them for a few minutes. . if you touch the button it restarts the auto-off timer. shaking it might reset it to so set it away from you.

The original batteries are crap. Get rechargables. Besides that, why is everyone posting the same thing?

I think we all get that they auto shutoff

wait if i tap the power button the unit will turn off. how come when i tap it it dosnt or am i suspossed to hold it

Brawny · 02-19-2007, 05:42 AM

whoa, you answered your own question in your question. Yes, you have to hold it longer to shut off than turn it on.

zeon9881 · 02-19-2007, 05:44 AM

XD i would check it but my brothers in the tv (we only have 1 cut my dad said he'll buy us it if we work for him in his construction site for a month.(without pay)we have 8 days left

Brawny · 02-19-2007, 05:47 AM

sounds like a bad deal unless you do nothing on the job (no offense) some people here in my HS get like 250 dollars in one weekend shoveling. (18-20 an hour)

zeon9881 · 02-19-2007, 06:09 AM

XD its not he promised us a 50 inc which we already ordered but since im 14 most of the work goes on my brother whose in university and traing to go to med school (im doing the same thing)

Brawny · 02-19-2007, 06:17 AM

sound good then, if you ordered it though, just quit on him lol

Simple: Hit the home button then go to the controller part at the bottom. Hit "reconnect" and don't reconnect the one you don't want to use. Easy right?
