I was wondering if it's better for the drive physically and
mechnically if the game disk is left in there all the time, including
when it's being turned off and on, or take the disk out before turning
it off and have the drive empty when turning it on?

I guess what I'm wondering is, would it pose any undue stress at all
on the DVD drive if the disk was left in there all the time?

One thing to note is that, the way the DVD drive functions is that,
the second the game is turned on, the DVD drive will always be
spinning, until such that I exit out of the game and go back out to
the user menu of the Xbox 360. And there are times when I watch
vidoes, listen to music off my 360 as well.

Would appreciate your thoughts on this. TIA.
