    Help! Toasted Xbox and Samsung drive

    My Xbox is on the outs, and I'm going to use my replacement contract at EB to grab a new one.

    I want a Samsung drive in the new one, and I've been scouring the web for any hints on how to identify the units with that particular drive.
    I know what the different DVD trays look like, but my EB is understandably not willing to crack open their entire stock to let me look.

    What I'm wondering is this: does anyone know another way to tell without opening the box?
    - Serial numbers?
    - Production dates?
    - Anything?

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Make sure to get one with a serial number that ends in the number 6. That is what I've heard.

                            I got a new one - the serial ended in 06, but it appears to have a Philips drive instead of a Samsung...
