garyOPA said its ok to use 360 power, it doesnt log it.
I remember when the bannings first happened, I thought it was a nice theory, but afterwards, I figured it was probably a bit impractical, as I'm sure there's plenty of consoles they've had to service without anything hooked up for certain debugging purposes at one point or another, and would leave a nice hole for inaccuracies (especially as hardware gets older, there's a chance the DVD-ROM wouldn't detect on a boot, but power cycling could get it to detect on the next bootup, etc).
It's still better safe than sorry, but I think it's unlikely they log this...at least for banning purposes.
