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.

Phillips DVD drives arent the best but they work. I personally have a Phillips and i dont have problems with it at all. I know someone with a thomson who tryed to play a game on a CD but it had a big crack on it and it didnt work. But on my phillips DVD drive it works all the time. It depends on who you are and what u like.
