xbox 360 wheres the eject button?

quinnd6

I cant find the eject button.
There are no proper diagrams in the manual.
I put in a game and I need to get it out.
I cant find any eject options on the dashboard.
I tried pressing the little white button on the bottom of the dvd drive and all that happened was I got a rotating green light around the power button.
Please help.

You can eject it from the main dashboard page afaik or you can use the button on the lefthand side of the drive (provided it is lying down and not standing up).

How do you get to the main dashboard page?
where is the option to eject the disc?
Im clueless

That button is used to sync the Wireless controller and Wireless Headset

Did he ever see what an eject symbol is like? lol. Just a tiny bit further up or to the side depending on the layout of the console and he would've seen a magical button which will make dvds pop out.

when you have nothing in the drive doesnt it give the option to eject then(through the dashboard) ?

Stokolan

If you need to read the instruction manual though for using the basic functions of something as simple as a console, hifi or tv then it means that it has been badly designed though. I think in this case they confused matters by having an eject option via the dashboard only appearing sometimes and then the front panel is designed more for looks than functionality so hiding the eject icon on the button unless you look closely, I'm not saying that is wrong though in this case.

something is badly designed alright, but its not the console, hifi or tv!

What's next? First the eject button .... "It says I need a TV, there was no TV in the box!!!!!zomg!eleventyone!!!!!!1"

You shouldn't have been let have an Xbox. Got help you trying to sync the wireless controller. I hope you have a tv and electricity to cover the other basic steps.

Really? Mine doesn't have a button on the left of the drive when its standing up. You must have the special smart arse version?

Can this thread do anything but descend into a smart arsed answer versus another smart arsed answer?
The OP has resolved his situation with the help of some other posters....the last couple of posts are just daft and off topic (This included)

oh come on its like asking "where is the power button on this Television" or somethin. its blatantly obvious!

Owen

He should thank his lucky stars he didn't post something like this on Fark, he'd have farkers outside his out ridiculing him by now.

quinnd6

Ha ha.:D
Yeah lucky I didn't.
In my defense I will say that Ive not got a great light in my room at the mo and had it under a table so didn't spot the eject symbol and looked in the manual and there was no proper diagram showing the eject buttons location so got frustrated and posted here.
Im also always extremely cautious when I get something new so didn't want to accidentally break something by mistake(though I guess that woulda been hard to do).
But you're right anyway bad excuse and silly me.:D

Anyway
On an unrelated topic
I heard they launched xbox 360 classic games recently

has condemned gone classic?
How much is it over here now?

Sigh ... I assumed you were saying it didn't eject in the vertical position. How devastatingly stupid of me. If your still confused just tilt your head to the right ... and there it'll be!
