I have just recently purchased an xbox and I noticed that, even though I have it plugged in during the day and play on it quite a lot, when I plug it back in in the morning the clock needs to be set again. I don`t understand this as both the gamecube and ps2 store the time and date on a battery inside the console and i was aware that the xbox had a battery installed too. Can anyone confirm this? I know this is trivial but it is quite annoying.

The xbox doesn`t have a battery. It does have a large capacitor that acts as a battery back up but it only lasts a few hours after you unplug your box. So if you leave it unplugged overnight your time and date settings will be erased

And the more you play the Xbox, the more charged up it will be, meaning the longer it will last unplugged.
Anyone detect a cunning ploy here from Micro$oft?!

Don`t unplug it, just switch the Xbox off it will still use a small amount of power to keep the time settings.
