Seriously, wow wow wow!

Why Microsoft? Why the FUCK would you add Thompson disc drives as your brand of choice for the first gen original Xbox? I mean holy fucking shit. Not only did that make such a loud fucking noise each time I turned the console on with no disc in the tray, and whenever I closed it, but the motherfucker failed on me when I was like 15 years old. Granted it would read some games but most games were unreadable because the drive lens was so over worn and cheaply made. The entire disc drive was a fucking joke to start with, even a fucking Windows XP computer had a better disc drive than that Thompson piece of shit!

No wonder why the other newer models had better disc drives! They later went with Phillips to make them and Samsung even, and the Samsung came out in 2004, which was the last change the Original Xbox ever had before Microsoft killed it short.

I just got my replacement disc drive, and it is and I quote from my softmodded Xbox when I check the storage settings "SAMSUNG DVD-ROM SDG-605F" and it is by far the best fucking disc drive on this fucking machine, and people on forums have said it is very reliable and VERY hard to find.

I got this motherfucker off of Ebay second hand for $70 and it is fucking fantastic, it can read every single game and it is so fucking quiet, I can't even hear it, and it doesn't make that loud humming noise when there is no disc in the tray like that Thompson does! It makes no noise!

$70 Microsoft! And it was fucking worth it, but this was something that should have been shipped with since the first fucking gens of the console, oh and real nice clock capacitor you got there Microsoft. Thank god I was told that can kill my console and I removed the pecker fucker! GG Microsoft, GG! Now the only thing I would replace just to shut the system up even more is the stock fan, but the Thompson was FAR FUCKING WORSE! That thing sounded like a fucking buzzsaw!

What do you guys think about all of this?

I wonder what I'll have for breakfast tomorrow.

You really need to make a blog

He asked, I answered.

it's almost as if the original xbox is a horribly outdated piece of hardware

Discs are still a thing?

The future is now™

tbh I thought all OG Xbox and 360s had shitty drives. Halo 3 and Guitar Hero 5 have a 50% chance of being read if I haven't installed them to the HDD. I hope the XB1's tray has a better shelf life.

Not all. The 360 S models and the Xbox 1.6 have higher quality made disc drives, and me too. Otherwise what a shit heep.

Why would you fuck a disc drive?!

Masturbation by hand gets boring after awhile.

The disc drive for the 360 is shitty as well. If you bump the system hard enough when the disc is running you will destroy it.

That's why most of my 360 library is digital. Thankfully the original Xbox never had that problem, at least it doesn't appear to. Never bothered to test it. But still. Thompson disc drives... such a shit build.

Literally nobody cares

Nobody gives a fuck about original Xbox you don't need to make a million threads about it

Guess that makes me the 1%
