    I've never had any problems at all with custom soundtracks. Only problems I've ever had are the typical DDE errors with EA Sports games, and the lockups in Vice City. What kind of problems are you having with custom soundtracks?

    MY DDE errors went away immediately when I took the stupid DVD module out. The difference was amazing.

    If you have the thompson drive in your xbox, you can call and have it replaced for free. tell them you know there is a problem with those drives and you want it replaced.

    I've had it apart and voided the warranty, and I called them and even if I pay, they won't touch it since I've "tampered" with it. I'll just wait for the rumored price drop to $149 and get a new one.

    Yeah, I've tried both ways, it does make a difference with certain games for some reason.

    I've heard of people having problems with the older models. I've had mins since day 1 and not a problem. I've played about 100 different games through it.

    YEAH..I peeled the corner of a sticker off mine and they said i voided the warranty after that and sent it back unfixed, without the original box and the rubber feet missing. I called them and raised holy hell. They told me to fuck off. I told them I was hanging up the phone and going to walmart to buy a new one and pull the drive out and replace it myself and returning it for a refund. I did just that also. I made sure I fucked up the one I returned so bad they couldnt put it back on the shelf. fuck microsoft.

    Either they don't work at all, the songs skip, or they mess up my game. For example, I'll play a game on Dead or Alive Volleyball with a custom soundtrack, and at the end of the game, it freezes on the Now Loading transitional screen and I have to reset it. I invented about twelve new cuss words when this was going on. I've forgotten them all since then.
