New DVD-drive by Lite-On Coming to Xbox 360.
>> It propably doesn't have anything to do with the DVD firmware hacks as the decision to add, back then, BenQ as DVD manufacturer was made in january already, but it looks like we'll soon see a 3rd drive in the Xbox 360 (a BenQ-LiteOn-Philips or whatever they'll call it, and maybe MS will try secure it more?).
From digitimes.com:
[QUOTE]
Following the takeover of BenQ's optical disc drive (ODD) unit, Lite-On IT has landed loader orders for Microsoft's Xbox 360 game console with volume shipments slated to start in the third quarter, according to the company.

Lite-On IT inherited the loader orders from BenQ and the company recently gained validation from Microsoft.
BenQ reportedly landed the orders in January via its joint-venture with Philips, Philips BenQ Digital Storage (PBDS).
