Yes, it was a bad purchase, I'll agree... but blazing someone for doing so only shows how rude you are... If a person makes a mistake, and you can't help him, just stay silent... If you know something on how to help, pitch in...

The point of forums is to ask questions, I did... Do I want you or anyone to "spoon feed" me, no... If you have info, point me in the right direction, if not, why bother to waste your time just being downright insulting?

I'm not stupid, I would rather be stated as ignorant.... I was ignorant to what the capability of what I purchased would do, or not do for that matter... To sit there on your high horse and treat people like morons, must be refreshing, huh?

As far as my willingness to learn, I am willing to learn..... isn't that where asking questions to people who are "knowledgeable" in such things come in to play?

Just can't let it go, can you... Maybe you show look up the definition of a forum. You know, people get together, asking questions and all that.... Sorry my question(s) weren't jelle2503 material. The other people didn't seem to be so HORRIBLY bothered by my question, they were polite... but that might be a stretch for you... so... just don't bother answering anything I ask... How about that?

Not trying to beat a dead horse, but if I own the games, can't I burn them to hard drive... I work for a government office, not tryign to pirate anything, just am one of those guys who like to know how stuff works...

I'm one of those people who like to watch mechanics and ask questions... I hate to miss something simple I can do on my own, ya know? There has to be something I can do to make this things into something more than just a DVD player shaped like an Xbox 360.. any ideas or mods? Heard people play games off a linked PC... is that true? Like I say, I'm noob... I don't know.

Ok... here is an idea, I'm noob at this so be gentle with me.

I burn games from PC to Xbox 360 hard drive, or whatever... The DVD and CD functions still work for the drive, so can I play games from a hard drive on the system with a non-married drive?

Well - If it reads DVDs and such, any way to pull it using that Linux utility I've heard about?

One last note, I was told you can flash the chip from a Linux disk or something... can anyone verify this. I mean, with the new drive it reads DVDs fine, and CDs. If I can get it flashed, can I install another drive...

    I bought an Xbox 360 off Ebay with a missing DVD drive... I have since placed a working DVD drive it from another Xbox 360. It reads DVDs and CDs, but not games. Any clue on how to fix this??
