If anything gaming would be harder on the laser

Ever heard about how a lightbulb lasts longer if you leave it on and never turn it off? Same concept would apply here no? Gaming the laser will turn on and off several times getting data and then waiting for the next call from the system cache. In a movie the laser would be constantly on. Also, we're talking about lasers here, not lightbulbs. It's my understanding that the laser light is much less likely to "burn out" over time.

Still, beat your friend with a shoe. I'm not kidding.
