hi-is a 5 dvd-rom just as good as a 16x dvd rom...

[redstar]

i would like to know if the xbox's 5x dvd will play DVD movies just as well as a 16x dvd-rom? I would not have thought so...but i have been told there will be no difference.

TIA

5x is perfectly fine for playing movies, the issue is more how well the actual xbox plays movies, it depends on the software they use, which i dont know anything about. i hear lots of critisism about the awful playstation2 dvd playback, but i'd expect xbox's to be better.

if you really want the dvd experience go for a proper DVD player with a good TV and quality speakers. a friend of mine has a £700 ($1000) dvd player, £500 TV, and B&W speakers that cost almost as much as both those together. But then hes mad

"i dont know what you're listening to me for, havent you figured out i dont actually know anything?"
