New DVD Drive Found in Slim 360: Hitachi-LG DL10N
>> Soloyo posted some interesting info on our forums about a completely new DVD model he found in his Xbox360 Slim console.
It looks like Hitachi-LG is back with a new DVD drive model (DL10N) for Slim consoles using a Panasonic chipset:

H-L
Model: DL10N
LGE-DMDL10N(B)
Rom Ver:0500AA



The console, sold in a Kinect Bundle Pack, was bought in South,TX USA. The drive itself was produced in September 2010, but atm we do not have the manufacturing date, factory or production line of the 360 console itself. If anyone else found this drive in a 360

There are currently 6 models of DVD drives used in the Xbox 360 console. It's possible to find out which brand/model your Xbox 360 uses without opening the console. However it's not possible to find the firmware/revision of the drive without opening up the case and look-up the information on the manufacturer sticker located on top of the DVD drive case.
