My friend was telling me there were a couple of DVD drives out there capable of reading X360 discs and that the method for ripping was as easy as ripping an audio disc. Any one have any insite on this?

i have plenty of insight, its called using the search function.

but the samsung sh-d162 dvdrom can read xbox360 discs

but they are very hard to find these days...

Also the TS-H352C & the SD-M2012C.

My hat is off to you if you can find any of them.

I got 4 today

Let me rephrase then...

They are very hard to find these days in every country EXCEPT for Australia.

In Australia, people like foaley buy them in bulk, and then resell them on eBay for 400% profit.


In the thread announcing v0.8 of kreon's firmware, the topic got a little sidetracked, and people were listing various online stores you could find the drive for. Be careful though, because many shops claim to sell that paticular drive, but will give you a different drive (wither a totaly different one, or sh-d162b instead of sh-d162c)

Europe aswell , not just australia. They are all over the place here (UK) , got one the other day for £14. Actually it seems like the only place they are hard to get hold of is in the USA.

Yes sorry I meant in the US it is hard to find any. Australia, Germany, UK- they are there but not here.

I just ordered a Samsung SH-D162C With KREON V0.8, should be here 2morow, According to the seller it has tools to rip SS and merge included with the drive, Will have to wait and see.

I bought mine from ebay £28 inc delilvery, fingers crossed

Please don't rely on the "tools" somebody at eBay offers.

you can pick them up on ebay australia for around $40 AUD. although some sellers are flashing them with the kreon firmware and charging double(ripoff!)

Don't worry I have no intention of using their cowboy software, thx for the warning though 8-)
