My Dvd Drive?
« on: December 24, 2004, 09:11:00 PM »

hey,
i'm unsure of what DVD drive came with my xbox 1.6 so thought i'd post a picture to find out:

h**p://www.angelfire.com/ab8/john_1/image1.JPG
YOU WILL NEED TO COPY N PASTE HYPERLINK IN YOUR ADDRESS BAR AND CHANGE THE ** TO tt...

it has two small holes on either side as well if you can't see.
thanks.

edit:
i have looked at the discussion with the images to tell, but this tray was not on there.

You have the Samsung drive: widely regarded as 'the best' drive.

The guy who said its a samsung doesnt know shit about the drives. Samsungs have 2 BIG finger sized holes on each side not the needle size holes. THis is indeed a new drive. I am not sure about it if its better or worse then samsung or that new phillps out which i think is what you might have im not sure.

But burn some music cd-s on cd-r's n rw's n let us know how it works =)
