    Okay to eject the disk while the game is still running?

    So I only ever eject a disk from the 360 when I'm at the dashboard and I get really annoyed when a friend is over and ejects the disk while the game is still running. Does it actually matter? Am I getting annoyed at nothing?

    The 360 stops the game before ejecting the disk, so yes. Unless it's saving, there shouldn't be any issue.

    I'd get pretty fucking annoyed if my "friend" was ejecting a disc while I was in the middle of a game, too.

    I don't think it will cause any real damage but it's certainly not good for your console. Tell your friend to stop doing that shit, and if he won't, then get a new friend.

    It does nothing wrong, the 360 automatically winds the disk down before popping it.
