ooseven,  

Go out and buy a new Xbox with Halo.  You have to experience Halo.   Why buy a new Xbox?  Because some of the old DVD drives can\'t load the new games.  The old Xbox is giving lots of DDE.   Get the new Xbox with the version 1.5 DVD Samsung drive.  

3 DVD drives was made,

Thomson
Philips
Samsung

Check the Manufacturing list.

Xbox Hardware Database
http://xbox-linux.sourceforge.net/docs/versionsdb.html


My 12/01 Thomson Xbox was giving me lots of DVD drive problems.  It couldn\'t load most of my new games.   About 3 months ago I went out and got a new Xbox that came with a Samsung Drive.   Also the Samsung drive don\'t scratches the edge of the disc.  



Here how my Samsung tray looks.  The Samsung tray will have holes.



Ok, This is also how you know what drive you have.



Left = Philips
Mid = Thomsom
Right = Samsung

Thanks Pstwo...

i knew of the Old Hard Drive and DVD drive problem with new games over at the Fable Forum.

Thinking of trading in 4 or 5 old PS2 games (that i have completed) to get the Xbox with Halo pack.

Or i might just pay £10 to 20 more so that i can get Knights of the old republic.

July 2002: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. Enron, $16.50 left. Worldcom, $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

Just as long as I am not recognised at my local game store … then everything will be OK ;)

KOTOR is a must have.  Also, you can pick it up on ebay for cheap.

I\'d put it in my top 5 list of RPGS...maybe even top 3.  It\'s one of the few rpgs that lets you actually play a role, what an idea!  Damn near completely open ended, and you can be eeeeevil *starts to force choke kopking

Well the only issue I\'ve ever had w/the drive in my box is that 1 out of every 3 or 4 times I insert HALO it gives me that non/dirty disc error.  It\'s never done that on another game though.  And it looks like I have the Samsung drive from the pics pstwo posted.
