    How do you know you have a Phillips, they shipped today, able to be purchased tomorrow. Anyways, when I get mine tomorrow, I'll let you know, but how do i tell, I know it involves the last 2 #s of the serial #

    Most gamestop retail stores have gotten their's in, that is where I got mine. But from looking on various xbox boards the drives are totally randomized. Some people are getting Thompson, Some Philips, and some samsung.

    Just out of curiosity, what does game stop have to do with the drive you get in your Halo Xbox?

    With the crystal Xbox's in Europe they ALL have the new Philips drives, so far in this thread two people have got Philips drives in their Halo Xbox's and nobody has got a Thomson or Samsung yet so maybe it's the same with the Halo edition?

    Actually the halo edition xbox has the thomson, samsung and philip drives, but heres a little myth and fact for everybody



    Myth: MS no longer makes Xbox's with Thompson drives.
    Fact: Many brand new Xbox's are made with the Thompson drive.

    Myth: All Thompson drives are inferior and cause problems.
    Fact: The very first revision of the Thompson drives used at one plant were less reliable and got out of alignment but since that time, new revs of the Thompson drive have corrected (or simply did not have) that problem.

    Myth: Samsungs drives are always superior.
    Fact: All DVDs included with Xbox have similar MTBF rate and no real evidence has contradicted that since the early Xbox releases (see prev myth).

    So just relax. The new Thompson drives are fine.

    Well, I just love being different....Picked mine up today and it has a Samsung Drive in it. On a side note, this LE is a lot nicer than I thought it would be.
