360 not keeping date or time

The clock on my 360 resets itself to July 2005 whenever I unplug it, is this common, any fix?

I think this is normal.When you connect to xbox live it should get the right time and date

Ah, shucks!

It's a real chore having to avert my eyes from the screen to check out the time on the clock.

i think it affects the order of saved games also if the time jumps back a year like that.

Don't unplug it?!

I'm doing my one bit for the environment by unplugging my 360 when its not being used, like those power of one ads suggest.

lol, fair enough, ive plugged my out once or twice overnight and the time stays, are you on live? PC usually have built in batteries to keep time, id be supprised if the 360 didn't have one! I know the original xbox didn't! Does your time reset when u plug it out Dman001?!

The one time I unplugged it it reset too. Didn't realise until I was looking at my trophies in PGR3 and some of them had completion times of 3am and 4am and the wrong date too. Since then I haven't unplugged it because I can't be bothered having to fix it every time.

The 360 doesn't have an internal battery for the time.
