No. It is one of XBOX's capabilities to run DVDs - music, movies etc...so you are safe.

I stopped doing it because i think it was the main reason i took 3 consoles on a one way trip to the RRoD.I am on my 4th now it has lasted several years not sure if it's the chip or not playing DVD's and downloading/Running the gameson the Hard Drive.

I try not to, but my SAMSUNG Blu-Ray player absolutely sucks. I have rarely gotten through a whole movie without it freezing, so I have gone back to using my 360.

Luckily I don't watch DVD's too much. Istream Netflix.

the 360 can play DVD's no problem. but i do remember selling a tech review that said its maybe the worst DVD play on the market. they said a £9 DVD player from ASDA would outperform it.

I'd say it's the opposite. The 360 upconverts DVD's very well. Better than any other device I've used for watching movies.

it plays them well but i think your better off getting a dedicated dvd player or an older game ssytem that can play them. anything you can do to limit the chances of rrod are worth it. playing games is already risky, why dump on netflix and dvds to the mess. Ive had several rrod's so now i use it to only play games offline. rrod rate has gone way down for me and my friends since we did the little pact.
