You can also purchase them on xconsole for $1 more if but these are confirmed to be the same ones with REV B.

You can also buy one with lightscribe support for $1 more on newegg if you wish.

There is the lightscribe

Old news is old.

I bought mine a couple days ago.

get the 224 from newegg it has .99 shipping so in the end its cheaper than the 124

I doubt ill ever use lightscribe on my disc and I have free 2 day shop runner for a year so I went with the cheaper one :smiley:

But yes if you don’t have shop runner that is the better deal

Well I can’t get that from OverClockers, any other drives which will work?

Not right now

REALLY? Right after I hack mine >_<

Right after you hack your what?

Chris, are you sure that the iHAS224-06 Litescribe from Newegg has a B chipset? I’ve been contemplating buying it ever since I heard the release of the DVD drive models.

Also, the drives on xconsoles are a rip off. With shipping, they come out to around $32.

With shipping they are like $24 and I can’t say. When you search that model it pop ups on newegg

Is there an external one that i could just use as a usb?, Or is that a stupid question, because i use a laptop :confused:

Nope it is sata only. Team Xecuter may come out with one later but not now

Wait… what is this for again? o_o

Burn dual layers so that it can finalize the disc without turnicating them or how ever u spell it.

Basically allows you to use the extra gigabyte of memory on the disc that couldn’t be access before.

So i NEED this? Or does this make it easier or something? Cause i thought people were already burning XGD3 games when the bypass was found.

I’d laugh if my Macbook Pro burns these like a charm. Not saying it will so don’t argue with my post.

@Chris, that drive provided will work correct? Might order it if I have too.

This is my first time seeing a new post in this thread :stuck_out_tongue: .

I’d say that at some point you will need this or you will need to find someone to burn the games for you. Some games have CIV checks in the last parts of the ISO so that if you don’t burn the last .2 GB of the game, then you will get an error that will most likely flag you for a ban. Forza 4 is the only game that has had this so far, but I bet more games will have it in the future.
