If I went and bought a new Arcade, would it have a lite-on?

I'm looking to buy a new console, would a $200 arcade xbox 360 most likely have a lite-on or what?
I'm talking about going to my local best buy and picking one up. What would be a probability or something?
Thanks

Darn, this is not good :(
I dont think any console I buy will end up without lite-on

If you leave near a big city try checking out stores further out. I'm just north of Atlanta, but I went a few town north and saw a Best Buy that had a mountain of arcades and half of them had Benq drives. All the stores in my immediate area have all Lite-ons.

try and get one manufactured before May 2008... you may have to go to a few stores but eventually you will find one that has been sitting on the shelf for a few months....

Bestbuy.com has 20gig's in stock.
What are the chances that this one is not lite-on?

I'm curious how you know its lot 818, and how you know that its 90% Liteon.
Is it just personal knowledge or is there a source online?
Thanks

To articulate my answer, I have people in the know, they have info from thier employers in regards to thier merchandise, and lot #'s818 are pretty much May & up, once u hit 820, its 100% lite on, so if thats not goo denough for you, then u do the leg work and run around asking Best buy if u can see a box.
ANd if u need more proof, check that website for 360 drive database
& compare Lot #'s & manufacturing date.

Thanks, I'm wondering where you got the number 818 from though, is that a guess based on experience, or does "Microsoft-Xbox 360 Console System (20GB)-B4J-00107" lead you to 818 or something?
Thanks

Yes. I bought 1 360 and hunted for a 817, go tlucky at Circut city for a guy who wanted a modded 360, so I bought a 2nd for myself (my 3rd xbox) in case the lite on situation worsens for over a year.

ah.
Circuitcity.com has the xbox 360 20 gig, would theirs also probably be Lite-on? Any way to find out without buying it?

Definetly, the last series should be no HIGHER then 819, try to get only 817, chance it with 818 if u like, but i would target 817.

Beleive it or not KMART and sears have them, usually 3 or so in a window case, just ask to see the box. Target has em on glass case also. Dont forget walmart, and basically ny store that sells your video games needs & acessories.
