Title: Dvd Drive And Lot Numbers
Post by: cyrilic on September 26, 2006, 02:11:00 PM

I want to buy a 360 premium with a Hitachi DVD drive.  I have checked out 360drives.com and noticed the LOT numbers.  Is there a LOT number range that includes Hitachi drives only?  What's the best way to tell if the console has a Hitachi drive VS Samsung without opening the box?

thx!

Nope, it's a crapshoot.

Check your local pawn shops i just picked up a Premium that was missing the wireless controller but had a wired one with a sammy drive for $300.00 you can ask them to power it on and open the tray it works. Otherwise i will be selling a core flashed with a Hitachi 47 drive for $275.00 complete
