Rumor: Lite-On to Manufacture New 360 DVD Drives
Digitimes reports that the Taiwan-based OEM Lite-On may be supplying DVD drives for future Xbox 360 consoles:
The built-in DVD-ROM drives for the Xbox 360 have been produced by two OEM makers, Toshiba-Samsung Storage Technology (TSST) and BenQ, the sources indicated. Lite-On IT took over BenQ's Optical disc drive business unit in mid-2006 but did not take over the OEM manufacturing rights for Xbox 360 because it was required to obtain new certification from Microsoft, the sources pointed out.
One of my chief complaints about the Xbox 360 is the crazy-loud DVD drive -- maybe these new Lite-On drives will spin a little more quietly?
