Well, while I agree that they shouldn't tell you that no newer units have thomsons, I don't agree that they should have to open up the xbox for you, or any other customer to see what dvd drive is in the xbox. I'm sorry but I sure as hell don't want to by an 'opened' product anywhere, whether it was just plugged in for two minutes, or used a few days. EB allready had a problem when people would buy games, copy them and or beat them, then return them, then sell them to the customer as brand new. I don't think alot of people realize that retailers have to protect themselves, as well as us consumers need to look out for ourselves and not do those kinds of things either.
