XBOX 360 DVD lens

[lithiumC]

Hi

I have recently found a real good supplier for xbox 360 lenses. They have 2 listed and was wondering if anyone knew of their differences and if they were interchangable?

Here are the 2 models
SF-HD67
SF-HD63

I believe both of these lens are manufactured by Sanyo. Also I though all drives were to use the same lens?

I heard both 360 drives use the same laser (hitachi&samsung)

I can only buy the HD63 laser here.

Yeah I have herd the same, but I am wondering if now maybe there is a new reviesion of the laser they are using with better performance. If that is the case, maybe it would solve some of the media compability issues. I think I will email the distributor and ask them there opinion.

media compatibility is NOT a laser issue.

my samsung dvd lens crapped out. i had a extra samsung sd-816 drive. i opened it up and it had a sf-hd66 dvd lens. installed it in the samsung xbox 360 drive. works great....

i did some research on the lens, here's what sanyo has to say:
