silVa Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 I have a thompson and mine just plain crap. Example - thrown in a brand new disc today, completely - brand new, literally took the wrapper off and into the tray, It didnt work, reading errors... It also did exactly the same behaviour several months after I bought the unit brand new with another brand new disc. No wonder why I leech warez, thanks M$!!!.

kaioshade Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Do Not forget that there are two different brand of thomson drives. One of them is complete crap, the newer ones are much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thraxen Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 I have an older Thomson and it still works just fine... BUT since I have a 250 GB HDD it rarely gets any use since I run all my games/software off the HDD. I use it to rip games from time to time, but never for actually playing a game. dude I got a thompson and I don't know what people are complaining about. sure it only reads cd-rw but it reads every dvd-r I've thrown at it. my sisters phillips drive won't read 80 percent of my discs. I still haven't figured out what dvd-r brand to get for her xbox. I hear the philips only reads dvd+r if so that sucks I've worked on some friends XBoxs that had Philips drives and haven't had any issues getting them to read DVD-R. I was using Ritek DVD-Rs at the time. I've since switched to Taiyo Yuden DVD-Rs, but haven't had the opportunity to try them on a Phillips drive yet.

kaioshade Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 There are also two versions of the philips drive as well. there have been two revisions of all 3 drives, alternating between crappy and excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inky Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 is that a real crystal case or one of those 20 dollar after market ones? all those mold circles looks pretty crappy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaioshade Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Real Crystal. notice the microsoft logo on the top of the case (backwards, as it was engraved from the inside) and those "crappy circles" are present on all xboxes, just since its clear you can see them.

Inky Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 you'd figure they woulda reworked the mold so the circles were less noticable. anyways I like the special edition white xbox better. clear electronics always remind me of the early 90's when everyone had a swatch watch. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
