Console Games (Nintendo, Sony etc.) and Arcade Games/Damage System while leaving disks in

Question
hi expert
is it true that leaving disks inside your console after youre done playing can damage your system ?
thank you

Answer
Gday Fouad,

No.  But I think it would increase the chances of damage to your disk leaving it in the system.

(There are a few that state that it might put a small strain on the motors that spin up the disk on start up.  But that is completely untrue)

Hope this helps
