I only just bought an Xbox 360 a couple of days ago thinking that I could get the firmware flashed to play backups.
Then I find out that the new Hitachi drives can't be flashed yet and may not be able to at all.
I'm not sure if I have the new drive but the manufacturing date is 26.08.2006 so I'm pretty sure I do.
Oh well you live and learn. Still getting the Samsung PC drive that I ordered though, hopefully someone will figure something out.

The Samsung PC drive is to backup games without having to connect the Xbox 360 drive to the PC and backup a game.
You have to flash the drive with Kreon's firmware to be able to read the original 360 game.
The model is SH-D162C. Now I need a flash for the 360 to make the backups work.

Forgot to mention, I think it's only the Hitachi drives made for UK/Australasia region manufactured July/August. I've heard of them being in UK and Aussie, not sure about here in New Zealand but I'm pretty sure I've got one of the drives. Don't want to void the warranty to find out.
