Does the Disc in an Xbox 360 cause problems in things OUTSIDE of it, perhaps netflix or youtube? Or does it sit in the xbox, having no ties to anything unless it is being played?
 
To be honest idk what ***** your saying. Does the DVD drive affect Internet capabilities? Is that your question?

Yes! Exactly! With the game just sitting in the xbox...does it slow things for things such as internet.
 
Please tell me your kidding. If you're not, NO it does not affect Internet performance.

No it is not. I just got into a bit of an argument with a family member and wanted to prove that what you said is true, from another person.

no. All the Xbox will do is when the game is first put in the box or you turn it on. All the xbox does is spin the disk up to read what is in the box and then does not spin it again unless played.

Yes, because the internet bits have to walk around the disc rather than take a shortcut through the hole in the tray where the disc would be if it were empty.
