....if their Xbox has a Thompson drive, apparently the game runs like hell on them and crashes frequently.

Luckily I've got a Samsung.

Heh.

Never checked before: Mine's a Thomson and aside from every 3 months when I get one dirty disc error, and rotate the CD 90 degrees so everything's fine, I've had no problems what-so-ever.

Infact I've had less trouble with it than with my N64. :P

Philips in my UK one. Got a Samsung in my US one but that's retired now, might as well take it to America with me and trade it in for stuff I'll actually play.

I think I have a phillips but ain't 100%.

Was thinking of buying a chipped box from advancedxbox.com.

One thing's for sure, my ps2 is history. Even GT4 can't convince me to keep it.

So, shall we start the bidding at £100?
