I just read in eBay that there are XBOX 360 HITACHI-LG DVD replacment drives for the 360.
Did someone know if this is a fake or are the drives real ?
I have here a bricked drive and I would love to repair the brocken Xbox 360.

yeah this is the price.
So the drive will work or did I need to patch it before I install it ?

If you purchase one of these drives you will need your original firmware, once loaded on it will work, if you dont have origanl dvd key from original firmware then buying a speare drive is not an option, If you still have original firmware or key from original firmware then you are fine.

They won't read originals, they were designed to run the kiosk disc I think, and that's it.

This could be the very reason why the kiosk disc wasn't protected.

I have talk with few friends and all say not buy when you not have the drive key.
But like I read now even with the key it is not working.
Dame I think I can put my brocken 360 into the trash.

I tested one from Etech4sale (hitachi 46DJ) and it does work, also originals.

Ofcourse you need the key.

But the 32CE does not work (so far)

THats weird. now we have to hack the 32CE firmware to play originals instead of hacking to play backups

Doesn't work with either as far as I can see, maybe someone knows something different?
