    That is very funny but hasn't happened to mine. Yet.

    Likely done on purpose to get the xbox back in the news.

    It succeeded !

    "Xbox, Turn off"

    Noticed my xbox one was on the other day and both controllers were well out of reach, must have been this

    Funny that, dunno how many times I've sat and shouted xbox on at the damn thing and ..... Nothing, yet a single advert can turn it on

    Xbox on seems to work for me in the first few seconds after I've turned it off, and xbox turn off .... No chance unless I put on a fake American accent. Works for the kids almost every time though

    Even easier solution: Disable the "xbox on" command in the settings :)

    [I find it pointless, given that you still have to turn on the controller anyway]

    Happened to me but I found it funny more than annoying, not exactly hard to turn it back off.

    What is the voice command to turn it off? Xbox off does nothing, neither does x box turn off or xbox switch off. Has anyone had a situation yet where someone is watching tv in the same room and the xbox starts obeying the advert when playing a game?

    I normally say Xbox turn off. It then asks if your sure or not.

    Doesn't seem to be an issue with mine. I do find the ad its self very annoying. He's way too smug for me.

    That advert hasn't had any effect on my console.

    Although, I was watching Game of Thrones on Monday when Jon Snow said he was "Ned Stark's son" and on it came.
