Subject: So i've been thinking about the extra space in disc holes...

So Says Shadroxon.

Am I the only one who burst out laughing when I thought of an Xbox spinning?

"Ignorance is a plague."

Close, but the plague killed those infected with it, and the ignorant are still alive.
I wish ignorance was a plague.

A DVD has a total surface area of about 109 cm^2. The unused space in the center is about 11 cm^2, so we would gain an extra %11 of space (not very much). However, if the console is spinning, we will still need some of the disk's area to hold it stationary (otherwise the disk will spin with the rest of the console). So basically, we're gaining a small amount of disk space, but it will cost more money to build, be easily broken and consume much more power (having your xbox spin at a few thousand RPM takes a pretty big motor).

Fine, we spins the Xbox AND the lasers. How about that?

What if the universe spun and we kept the 360 still?

A better idea would be to have games written on paper, and it works like a fax machine, but backwards!

Nah, turning the fax machine backwards wouldn't solve anything.

It's not funny, damnit!

Never make me angry. I am a Hitman and I can easily find you and take you out.

If my 360 spin the cords will get stuck and unplug at a certain time.

Unless we can get a cordless 360...
