It's not going to "damage" your laser, but it does cause additional, and some would say unneccessary, wear on the laser.  Some would rather use a DVD player specifically for movies as to not cause the additional wear on their console.

Use the system for all its worth.  I've had the same xbox 1 for 4 yrs, and played games and watched movies heavily on it for all 4 yrs and nothing has gone wrong yet.

I concurr with Foe-Hammer. I'm using my 360 for everything, gaming, DVD movies, pictures, music, anything it can do. Get your money's worth out of it.

The only reason I still have a DVD player hooked up is for the kids, they are not allowed to touch the 360 or anything associated with it. It's MINE MINE MINE MINE, ALL MINE!!! I'm a greeedy little miser...
