And when a customer like MS goes looking for things to buy, it usually finds them. “I personally also find this a bit hard to believe because a local comupter store still sells what it calls Region-X drives.”Īnd for that matter MS should easily be able to buy old stock from the manufacterers, they do have still have some stock of old hardware. We all know MS has been forcing in DRM like a drug pusher, how could people not know it’s just a cover story. I know lots of people who have old DVD drives that still work perfectly. That’s not to say it doesn’t happen, but I’ve still got CD drives in my computer that I’ve moved over from a 10 year old box and a combo drive (CD-RW/DVD-RW) that’s closer to four years old without any problems. MS is spewing bullshit here, I’ve never EVER seen a CD or DVD drive die after just three years. “The other thing the MS developer mentioned was that Region-Free drives are from before the year 2000, and he said that it is general concensus that DVD drives have roughly a 3yr life, and because as of 2000, all drives have hardware based regioning, it is extremely hard to come by a working drive from before the year 2000.
