Is it bad to leave a disc inside my Xbox One while it's off?

It's better to leave it in the console than just lying around outside of it's case which is what I tend to do for my Xbox 360 and Xbox 1 games which I play the most. Games which I don't play very frequently all their discs are in their cases but when it's
a game I like to play it just gets put on the carpet or on top of my case.

The thing that I hate is, is that I would leave a disc in my xbox and if I were to get grounded for some stupid reason, they would unplug my console with my disc in it! it gets super annoying it broke once and I think that was the problem, because i had
to ship it in and my parents said it overheated because I was playing it too long!!

Congratulations on bumping a thread from 3 years ago.

Seriously,why not just take disc out when you are finished playing it ?

And I though I was lazy.

Hello "Reliablethreat"

Personally, I don't ever leave my game disc inside of my game consoles, but my friend does and this habbit hasn't caused any damage whatsoever.

Like others have said, DO NOT FORGET to take the game disc out before moving the console.

Have a nice day or afternoon or night

On Topic: I agree with those who are saying that it's okay to leave it in your console (even while it's powered off) as long as you don't move your console. With my Xbox 360, I would always leave my game in the disc tray until I switched it for another game.
Even then I had no problems with the discs or the console. On my Xbox One, I've gone completely digital, so the only discs that get put into the disc tray are Blu Ray discs and DVDs that I get in the mail from Netflix.

Leave it in if you want.

An Xbox eats no discs so your fine.

Are you people serious about the "Don't leave a disc in the drive of anything while it's turned off"?? You do realize even the most basic players as well as the Xbox One have a manual "reset drive eject" button in case if there was the slight chance, (1%)
that your disc would get stuck. It doesn't matter either way as all the console does is verify that you have the right to play the installed game with little read-access of the drive being used after that.

In other words, it fine as long as you're not completely OCD about it, then leave it in so you can turn on the console and play another game at will without leaving your couch.
