    Sorry for the newb question, I'm looking into getting a 360 and all the info on it is a bit overwhelming.

    I'm researching the steps needed to flash the firmware and was wondering if all the newer 360s come with this drive.

    I'd prefer not to use the CK3 Lite from the 74850C Lite on which I'm guessing is from the earlier lite on models.

    Is there a certain model and manufacture date that will give me the 83850C Lite on so I can use it with the following write up?

    Thanks in advance.

    Should there be a manufacture date I should look for in particular?

    it doesnt matter, if you go to a major brick and mortar store you will end up with the new drive. however, if you want to check, go to 360drives.com and use the data base to see if anyone in your area has reported getting anything but the new lite-on drive.
