Problems With Your Current Xbox 360 Drive? 

If your having any troubles with disc's reading, it could be a bunch of things. Bad laser, bad media, bad motor within the drive, or even possibly poor laser alignment. If you are not tech savvy, it may be in your best intrest to invest in a new drive. eBay has some nice DVD drives at a nice price. If you are into the Xbox 360 Mod'ing scene, you may have to buy a new drive down the road if you pooch a flash on your current drive.

All of the Xbox 360s encryption schemes are held within the firmware of the Xbox 360 drive. However if you go to change this, and something happens during the flashing process; its possible to "brick" the drive, or render it useless.

Take a look at eBay for some great deals on Xbox 360 DVD Drives.
