Replacement DVD for Xbox 360

When I first got my Xbox, it was probably the most expensive thing I owned. I still think that the Xbox is probably one of my most prized possessions but I have since stopped taking care of it like I did before. Still, I wish someone had been there to teach me a thing or two about proper maintenance of the console, it may have delayed the RRoD for at least a year or so.

The DVD drive in the Xbox 360 spins at a high speed and is not as stable as you might think. Whatever you do, never move your console while you hear the tray spinning. Even a small movement can cause the disk to come into physical contact with the reading light and not only put a huge scratch on your disc but also potentially render your drive inoperable forcing you to get a replacement xbox 360 DVD drive which can cost you quite a bit if you go through Microsoft to get it replaced.

If you don’t want to go through Microsoft, you can also go to a third party but careful because it voids your warranty. Also, keep in mind that you can always DIY if you purchase a replacement online!
