That actually sounds like a better deal, because it sounds like he modded it first hand, knows the chip that he put in, and you get two controllers.  I would check the dvd drive to make sure that it is not a Thomson, then I would buy it.

If someone (the suposid seller) can't control thier CAPS LOCK it's wise to stay far far away. As for why Thompsons sux the donkey balls is because it's the early drive Xboxes come with and are the most prone to DRE (disk read error...you get to buy a new drive for the xbox!).

Old Tompson drives are notoriously bad for loading certain types of backup media (ie will only recognise CD-RW and certain DVD-r & +R's)

Poeple tell you to stear clear of them becasue they dont read cd-r's.. Mine reads some random ones Mainly I sitck to cd-rw's for it.. It is ver finicky with them also.  You should take into consideration that all these people tell you they suck becasue they dont read cd-rs..   Well that's well and great but it's a dvd-rom drive.  You should be ok with a thompson if you plan to be modding boxes frequently and want to go through all types of media get a smsung, otherwise a thomson will treat you jsut fine.

Sorry, as a newby, I don't understand what you are saying. Could you please explain why people don't recommend Thomson drives?

well ... my advice sounds like this: buy a virgin xbox. its only 150€. buy a modchip. even a duox will work. thats another 15€. let it install in your hometown by someone or install it yourself. afterwards its a great experience. and youll be also prepared to mod the 360 in the future ;-)

with this you also wont have a shitty thomson dvd drive
