Depends. If I'm going to turn on something else and play another game or movie (PS3, Wii, DVD player, etc) I'll go up and push the button. If I'm leaving the room, I'll just turn it off through the guide.
Even though I place my controller next to my console after every session (meaning I still walk to my console after ever session...meaning I'm not lazy), I still turn it off with the controller. I believe the less I press the console power button, the less wear and tear on the actual console, and maybe more Xbox longevity. I feel like any moving parts I can touch less means more use.
i get off my but and press the button like a non lazy person

Please tell me you're joking. Well, then again, what should I expect from a person who can't even spell "butt" right?
No I'm not joking. I actually take care of myself, and if you're implying that I'm a brainless jock then your obviously insecure about yourself. Was my post gramatically correct enough for you?
with the controller-> hold past guide- turn both off. IDK why, but that's easily one of my favorite features. only use actual power button after it downloads something.
The only time I play my 360 is when I'm about to kill myself. So I usually have the power cord wrapped around me neck. When I begin to pass out from the boredom that are xbox 360s games, including so-called classic Oblivion, the cord usually gets hanked out of the wall.

He's just trying to say that it doesn't make you lazy if you don't get up and turn off the Xbox with the power button, don't get to pissy about it :P
I variate between them all. Mostly holding the Guide and shutdown, or going to settings and turn off from there. Through settings is more like a 'this was a good session now I'm done : >' thing.
I have this habit of turning off the system every time I change a disc if its already on, just something set in my mind from the first play station, went like this most times ( playing disc 1 reach the end, pop open tray replace disc 1 with disc 2 press power... "Aw crap now I have to re play all that again" pop open tray take out disc 2 put in 1 press power start over... ) So I try to turn it off from the controller as often as I can so as to break the cycle. Yeah I know I cant open the tray with the power off now but I some how still do it with multi disc games lol.
Turning it off and on with the controller is such a great feature, it makes you wonder why it took 30 years for someone to put this feature on a console.
Depends, if I'm playing online and get totally mad and want to quit, I just press the button in anger :P... If I'm just turning it off then Hold down guide button>Power off
Ha I can just see the outcome of this (3 friends playing) " hey guys you didn't ell Jason were playing today did you?" Knock Knock Knock, (Jason waves ) "Hey guys what's up" X-box turns off… 3 friends learn the best location to hide a body.
