phillips bad?

[WoOtY BaLLa]

hey i was wondering wut were the things that were wrong with the PHILLIPS DVD drive becuz i found out i hav it. like hows it worse than a samsung?

[SoundX]

There is nothing wrong with the Phillips drive. It happens to be extremely reliable and will read alot more media than Thompsons. There is no real difference between it and the Samsung. The Samsung just reads more media, usualy.

But I wouldn't be bothered by the fact it is a little bit better, because there is plenty of media the Phillips will read. I believe it reads CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW. And so on, so forth.

I have a Phillips and it wont read CD-R's only RW's. Never tried any burnt DVD's so I dont know about that. Its as reliable as a Samsung drive, it just doesnt read the same types of discs.

Unless its giving you problems, who cares if its not as good as the other drives? I have a launch day xbox with the thompson drive and it still works perfectly. :P

my philips dvd drive in xbox and dvd player downstairs have some problems with certain dvds. Usually not that big of a deal like some glitchy things in scary movie 3 and some big time problems in cheap ****ty flims sometimes.

Samsung drive here...works good...But, I haven't heard anything bad about Phillips drives...only that it's very quiet and runs nicely.

[LiquidX]

it's very quiet and runs nicely.

True that. First time I heard my friends Samsung I thought it was broken. Then he freaked out and thought it was broken when I showed him how quiet mine is.

I forgot how to tell what you have?
some one please tell me!

[TOTTEN]

ok darkside the
tomson looks like a dildo with no head
the philips looks like a dildo with a circular head
and the samsung has a alot of holes

[Variation-XBA]

I forgot how to tell what you have?
some one please tell me!

voila

[Darkside]

ok it looks like a U
so I'm guessin thats a philips.


but it won't play cd-r's

edit: never mind that I got a thompson. DAMMIT!

I need a new one anyway, I'm tired of sharing with sibling

Ive had 3 xbox's. First one, launch xbox w/thompson, it took a dump. Second was a phillips but problems were with the controller ports so cant really blame it on the drive. Finally I got a samsung and have had no problems whatsoever. I realize the likelihood of having 2 xbox's screw up on you arent likely but these are my experiences so far. The samsung has left a good impression on me and not to mention it plays cdr and most dvdr.

[Reclaimer]

My launch box with a tompson died not too long ago. My replacement Xbox, the Halo Edition has a Philips, and it's been working like a charm. In fact, I swear it's a bit faster.

[TOTTEN]

I swear it's a bit faster.

me too but i got a samsung in my halo box

[WoOtY BaLLa]

hey but can phillips xboxes play dvdr's?

so could u play burnt dvdr like with alot of music on them or sumthin compared to cdr's??

[SoundX]

Why must there be so many of these damn threads? Why can't people use google to get answers anymore? Pffft...

Anyway, while we're on the topic, for the tenth time. My Phillips isn't that quiet compared to my Thompson. Still, both are way more silent than my friends Samsung.

[TheWheelMan]

i really wish someone could tell me what is wrong with my xbox it plays and everything its just if a game has any scrathes it will play alittle iffy sometimes it crashes and i think during cutscenes in games or sometimes in the game the graphics get alittle dimmed down plus ive only found 1 song that does it so far but it skips like 10 seconds out of the beginning of a song in my soundtracks im not really sure what the hell is wrong with it

[Darkside]

Well I have no Idea, but I overheard my parents talking about getting me another Xbox, a new TV and Live for my birthday.
so maybe I'll get a philips, or a Samsung,

I had a thompson since launch day. I Finally picked up a new one today. Got a phillips drive with it. : )

my thompson was garbage.. wouldnt read half my games.. froze up all the time.. etc.. etc..

this phillips runs like a new car.. so quiet.. I swear its faster also!

Yeah, exactly the same here.

It does seem faster.
