Well i originally bought the xbox connectivity kit to hack my 360, i returned it and got the USB kit, which allows you to change the firmware on the dvd drive to play backups, downloaded games. Very simple to use, it took me longer to take the stupid 360 apart, flashing took about 1 minute and it created a backup of the original firmware. I have downloaded 10 games so far, burned them onto verbatim dvd+r dl using a plextor drive and have had 0 coasters. I was shocked this actually worked, i got lucky and my 360 came with a hitachi/lg drive, as of now the samsung drives are not working. Heres how u can tell which drive you have. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v223/scarfa21/TS-HLG.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v223/scarfa21/TS-HLG.jpg) Anyways, I have the kit and can do this for anyone who wants it, no sense of the kit just sitting here. Im a nice guy so ill do it for nothing :). This will void your warranty since you have to take a MS sticker off to open the case. PM me if interested. ---

Any Xbox you buy new now have the Toshiba or Samsung drives, so more incentive to buy one now for that mod seems pointless. The real trick would be to identify the model number of the Hitachi drive and somehow purchase it separately. Maybe the part is the same as a PC version of the drive and you can just change connectors, or something to retro-fit it to your Xbox 360. Then you would really be in business. ---

Damn. Well hopefully the huge nerds figure out how to use other drives. Is there a serial number run or something you can check on the box to ensure you get the “right” drive? ---
