    Thanks for the reply mate. I'm after a benq and have read that most of the new 360's are falcons and come with the benq.

    Also, will game or gamestation allow me to checkout what drive the 360 has got in it before purchasing?

    Will game or gamestation allow me to take the face plate off to check what drive it has?

    my new 360 was benq also.

    Can i hijack this thread a little and ask if its still possible to remove the 360 warrenty sticker so that it can be put back without looking like its been tampered with?
