Rest assured that your Xbox 360 will and is made to play DVDs. You can play as many as you wish. Technically it should not be a concern.



There is, however, a concern over wear and tear on the optical drive and internal components. Unfortunately the Xbox 360 doesn't have a great track record of reliability, especially since heat causes most Xbox 360's GPU to unseat itself and force a repair. Optical drives, while playing a 2 hour movie can generate a decent amount of heat from the motor and laser.



My recommendation is to play any movie on an actual DVD player, which is relatively cheap today. Also, if you play a game for over an hour at a time...consider installing it directly to your HDD through the new dashboard.
You can but it wouldn't be that good for the 360.It has what you can call Wear and Tear.

so you might as well just buy a dvd player.

The 360 is meant to play DVD movies as well, but if you consider the fact that a DVD player costs about $30 bucks vs the price of replacing an XBOX 360 whose dvd drive died from wear and tear... i think you'd be better off using your XBOX 360 to just play games. the 360 is notoriously known for breaking so be gentle!
For that i do not know.

Xbox 360 plays Hd DvDs.

Its an Hd DvD player. Use the HD DVD accessory to experience movies in all their high-defglory, with the visual quality needed to see the film as it was originally intended.Can my xbox 360 play movies from blockbuster or will it make the xbox cd drive break?
