WOW, thats truly amazing!! I wonder if any people from Microsoft have seen this. I wouldn’t be surprized if MS contacted him or just ripped off his design anyway without contacting him.

I don’t have an X-Box 360 myself but i’d sure like to mod a regular PC optical drive. …but there’s just not enough room for all the extra parts.
Plus I don’t have a blueberry i-mac.

perhaps he wants to disguise his xbox as a giant Wii.

I used to have a regular xbox in my car and I wanted to do the same thing. You could have an indash solution if your car if had the space. I ended up putting it under the passenger seat. Great work rdc.

Thanks all for the comments.

@ andrew – I have a PS3, and it’s not about that anyway. ;)

My respect for the iMac slot-loading CD mechanism, check out the photos in the post and the video (below), such a neat piece of machinery, all metal and nicely built.

This is pretty cool, if the PS3 and the wii can have one, why not the 360? Also why would you be putting smaller or odd shaped discs into your 360? at most all you’ll put in is dvds, games and cds. and apart from the odd random advertising cds from sucky bands, all those discs are staandard anyways.

why would anyone want a slot loading drive?

they are prone to jamming if you use odd size/shaped cds. they can jam the drive requiring the disassembly of the drive.

only reason anyone would want slot loading drive is so there is no tray to break off if the device is dropped.

of course the device is getting broken if dropped anyways defeating the gains from a slot loader.

I am trying to do this to a PSone but I lack a PSone.

At least this proves it is possible! =3
