Hi There,
I repair RROD consoles as a side job, and I have received one without a DVD Drive and with no key. Would I be able to chuck a normal PC DVD Drive in there (converting the power cable of course), and play movies from it? Seeing as there is no hope of playing games on it again, I will basically use it as a networked Media Centre and playing DVDs directly would be an added bonus.

Thank You!

No, you must have an XB360 drive, and must have Key to play games.

You can buy a broken drive just for streaming, or any working XB360 DVD drive to play CD and DVDs.

Yes I realise you must have Xbox360 drive with key for games. Was hoping there was no validation just for playing movies. Ah well, will have to fork out for a Xbox360 drive.

Thanks for the reply.

There is no validation, I said that! You only need the key for games.

You can't use a PC drive no matter what the reason.
