By new BenQ you mean the Lite-On? I bought a Premium system with an extra wireless controller for 362 shipped. I thought it was a pretty good deal. I checked out the video of the modding a hit 79. Doesn't look bad at all. The guy just put some solder onto the traces and then held the iron above the passkey with it set on top of the traces. WHen I did the wiis, man those points were SMALL. Anyways, thanks for both of your responses and I'll report back here later this week.

^that sucks, but i knew it was just a matter of time...
what's the manufacture date these systems ?
i'm guessing may/june...as i think they were only sending em out in repaIred consoles in april.
anyway i hope this drive gets hacked sooner or later.

March is the earliest mfgr date that I've heard of on these benq/lite-on drives. Even on the ones that were coming back from repair that I've talked to were dated in March.
