couldn't help but notice that the drive has a march 2005 manufacture date, do 360 drives even have manufacture dates that old? where the system came on november 2005, i figured the oldest parts would be from may 2k5.

You do know the drive in the pictures above ISNT a 360 drive, right? Obviously not

And if you dont get the actual 360 drive, i would also be making a paypal dispute about this. But mostly these are just mistakes.
