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?
Goddamnit! Someone, give this man a medal!
