I'm looking for a new dvd drive to buy for my pc so that it's compatible with the payload tool. Which drive should I go for in the link below:

I have a Phat Liteon xbox 360 with LT +3.0

I was thinking of going for the HP DVD1260i which is reported as compatible. But there are three versions of it available. Which one should I go for:

Actually, that's the same version. The first is in original packaging, the second is in an OEM bundle (meaning it was produced to be sold with a computer, it doesn't have the original packaging) and the third one is a bundle of five OEM burners.

Xbox 360: Slim untouched with a faked 320 GB harddrive for XBL, phat with LT 3.0, played Halo early, so going on live would be an instand ban, also with a faked 320 GB harddrive
PS3: Untouched 160 GB Slim, 60 GB Fat with latest Rogero and 160 GB internal harddrive.
PSVita: hardly ever play it
GameCube: Black with a Viper chip installed. With gameboy player. Trying to get a Wavebird controller.

Does my PC hardware need any special requirements so that this DVD drive (I'm going for the first one) would work? So now all I need is the DVD drive and the payload too, right? Thanks.

Patience.People do go to work you know! If you buy the drive you have stated then all you need is the payload tool.Also this drive is cross flashable with burnermax but what would be the point if it works with the payload tool.Make sure you patch through xbgx360 use verbatim 003's or 001's and burn with imgburn.Enjoy

There are reported instances where the company delivers the HP 1260 DVD drive instead of the 1260i drive. Would it make any difference?

Also, are there various revision models of this drive?

My question is this:

Guys I want to be sure that this is the right drive to go for because I've seen many threads in which a certain revision model has been mentioned and various other problems as well.

Here is the drive: http://www.flipkart.com/hp-dvd1260i-dvd...y=HP%20DVD1260i

Thanks.

Seriously, why don't you just buy the iHas drive:
http://www.flipkart.com/liteon-ihas124-...arch&query=ihas
It's way cheaper than the one you want to buy and it's compatible, as the payload tool was written for iHas drives.
And by the way, that's the last anser I'll give you, because at some point it's just do or don't, noone else can take that decision for you.

One last question please, it doesn't matter if it's a revision A, B or Y model any more? Just say the word and I'll buy it.

No, it isn't, that's what the payload tool is for.
