Which do you prefer? I know the benefits of the stealth media and firmware, but if you had a choice between the two, which would you pick?

Samsung. Had my 360 since the 1st day it was release down here in Australia works fine, never had a problem with it. Also, its able to read more media then the Hitachi, or so i have heard.

i like how the hitachi i had (0078k) was soooo easy to flash using the maximus tookbox having read up bout samsungs in preparation to do my housemates drive they dont seem quite as simple.

but interested what peps who have more expeirence with both models think, also do like the single layer compatibility thats only availible on the samsungs hope it will come to the hitachi's at some point
