it's cheaper than ODDE for sure.
If it is cheaper I wouldn't say by much.
Disc route you would require:
-Replacement PCB
-Liteon drive chassis, or complete drive if you can't get the chassis by itself.
-iHas flashed DVD burner or one compatible with BurnerMax
-X360USB Pro 1 or 2 to flash the replacement PCB
-Good quality blank DVD DLs to be able to get 'safe' burns that actually work 100%, cost will vary with how many you need or how many fail during burning
ODDE Route:
-xK3y
-Standard external USB hard drive that can be used to store other things for other devices at the same time
I don't know about you but one of them seems like the much better option!
There a lot of very specific purchases needed to go the disc route whereas with the ODDE you just need a hard drive that could be reused anywhere you would normally use a USB HD.
