Hello soon i´m going to buy me an xbox. I want 1.1 and i know how to identify it. But how do i know if i´ve got an 1.1 with a samsung drive??? Is there some way to indentify it, without opening the xbox??

And merry x-box-mas from Sweden to u all.

I was just curious if anyone had the answer to what gielamonster quoted and asked? Is there a way to tell what dvd-drive a x-box has by a serial number on the packaging or anything before walking out of the store? By the different replies it seems that everyone agrees samsung is superior, and it would be somewhat annoying having to find a needle in a haystack of x-box's.

Thanks in advance.
