lmao, my friend if you couldnt tell how sarcastic that whole thread was then unfortunately I dont know what to tell you.

theres no truth to it, i leave DVDs and the DVD GAMES that the 360 games are formated in, in the 360 all the time. On and off.. no truth..

people just like to start rumors about stupid crap.

they advise you not to leave disks in any drive if they are not being used just as a precaution but no dark magic is going to hurt your disk or system if you dont.

this would be a good time to close this thread

I cant believe you peeps are still debunking this so called rumor. If you want to read a VERY sarcastic thread, which is where this so called rumor was started just click this link. Its almost funny.

P.S. It is the fourth post and it was made by Pinball1974. It in NOWAY seemed serious so I dont know what this guy was thinking when he read it.

10 minutes?

No if you leave a DVD/CD or whatever in the tray it can damage the laser inside. This was said about the original Xbox.

Just remove your DVD from the 360 when you are finished, you should have no problems.

that's unnecessary, i leave a disk in all the time and haven't had disk drive related issues

DimitriC2982 · 14-12-2006, 03:03 PM

its just a cautionary thing
supposidly it would be better to take out a dvd after your done
i dont really think it does anything, maybe in the long run though

Agreed, i don't tkae my games and films out all the time. It is just what the manual says, and to be honest i leave mine in for a few weeks and nothing happens.

I leave my 360 on for days at a time in a pause menu or the load screen with very little problems. However, I did leave Hitman running on the pause menu and it burned the disc. Same thing happened to GoW but I just take the burned discs to Game Crazy and they re-surface them for free (Normally it’s 2 dollars per re-surface but for some reason they do it for free for me).

Anderlation · 15-12-2006, 02:25 AM

Wow you leave it on pause for days? That is crazy, i couldn't do that, maybe leave it at the dash for a couple of hours.

psuedohippy · 15-12-2006, 04:33 PM

I tell ya what, I used to leave my PS2 on for weeks and weeks at a time but since the new idea of having the on/ off button on the controller even I, the King of Lazy, manages to turn it off.

xFOOT LONG SUB · 15-12-2006, 07:59 PM

Whoever said that is apparantly a dumbass becaus ei watch movies in my xbox 360 once a week .....nothing happens

Spartan1127 · 16-12-2006, 06:15 AM

The person who said that has no common sense. I leave DVD's in my Xbox 360 for 3 hours to watch a movie.

Anderlation · 16-12-2006, 08:37 AM

No, he means when it is off. Basically in the old Xbox there were a few consoles that when you started up the console, the disc would spin, due to the bootup and strach the disc, that was waaay back in 2001 though and MS fixed the problem back then.

Guess people just always worry!
