    Yeah, I've been distracted and have hit the power button instead of the eject button.  No harm was done but still felt silly.

    No, but that could become more of an issue with the new 360 I have now.  Those 'buttons' are so sensitive I've turned it on twice by accident.

    Not really but I did something similar. I was trying to sync my wireless controller to my PC and it turned the 360 on. I didn't feel like turning the tv on so I decided to blind shutdown (hold down Guide button, down, down, A, I think).

    Too much effort, I'll settle with it turning off and on a few times instead.
     
    I wish they just put a switch on the back like the PS3.

    It's easier to do that with the 360 slim. I personally don't mind it though.

    With the new slim, my dog (boxer) has sniffed the xbox, and caused the thing to shut off while i'm using it.

    when you hold the xbox button on your controller you can choose to turn off the controller or the console and once I accidentally chose "turn off console" instead of "turn off controller"....

    This is an issue with the new Slim systems. My arm hits the disk tray or the power button while I'm switching games in some other system. Makes it seem like my Xbox is jealous of my PS3 or something.

    The Slim is annoying with the touch. I wonder if there will ever be a day I can put a disc in my console without me accidentally pressing the eject button.

    I have turned it on a few times, but it happens a lot more with my PS3 because all I need to do is press the PS button once, whereas the Xbox Guide button needs a few seconds to be held in.

    Didn't I hear that the power button can be disabled on the slim?  Did I just make that up?  I swear I've heard that somewhere before.

    No but I have woken up to find my Xbox on in the morning when I distinctly remember turning it off.

    I was actually going to ask if this has happened to anyone. As soon as they unveiled a touch sensitive button with a light on it I knew someone's dog or cat was going to get curious and turn it off.
