I think it says "return to Jim To" as in that is the person's name. Also, this is not necessarily final. It could just be one model with Samsungs. As we know with the XBOX, you can have Thomson, Phillips, Samsung drives. So there could be many.

EDIT: Who cares who Jim To is? It is probably the guy's superior or someone who will be collecting all the units at the end of the testing or dev phase.

Unless the dev kits have larger Samsung HDD's, the drive would be the new compact 2.5" Seagates. Those will be the standard drive in the 360 and will possibly come in different sizes in storage later on. The kits must have somthing Samsung in it, probably the dvd-drive since they haven't confirmed hd-dvd as standard, yet.

Can't Samsung also be the DVD drive? Or do we already know confirmed someone else will be making that??

as of now there is no confirmation on who is making the dvd drives...wich is one reason why some people think it's going to have hd-dvd drives...becasue we know who is making everything but that...

just because toshiba owns the HD-DVD tech doesn't mean that they're the only ones who can makes the drives.

Sony owns regular DVD tech... you don't see every DVD drive being made by Sony now do you?

Also isn't Samsung MS's "HD Partner" or something?

LowProfileWurm · « **Reply #8 on:** July 19, 2005, 06:49:00 AM »

MS has an extensive deal with Samsung for MANY parts and offers. LCD screens for in-store displays, DVD drives, HDD's, RAM... I'm sure that that Samsung label could refer to any number of things crammed into that box. And Twisted is right, just because Toshiba is the main holder of HD-DVD doesn't mean that they can't licence it to Samsung.

I'm going to say DVD, cuz the 1st gen of xbox1 had sammys...so why can't the 2nd gen have it

Aren't they try repeat themselves by making it release same date as x1??

HDD, does make sense..but what they test on it?

Who says it's going to support Hd -Dvd's anyways?.. It comes with standard dvd support like the current xbox. And yes.. that info is confirmed.

i'm thinking it's which batch of samsung ram was put on the mobo for testing purposes

Replex · « **Reply #14 on:** July 21, 2005, 03:31:00 PM »

Well it could be DVD, could be HD, it could refer to the RAM... who knows what the samsung means.

A person made a comment some where, the type of DVD drive in dev-kits doesn't need to be the same kind as the one in the final version. M$ is writing the code to access the DVD(Or HD) drive, and as such changes can be made.
