Lite-On Lands Xbox 360 Drive Deal

Lite-On has reportedly secured OEM orders for DVD drives that are used in the Xbox 360. The article states that Lite-On will produce up to a million drives per month for Microsoft.

The built-in DVD-ROM drives for the Xbox 360 have been produced by two OEM makers, Toshiba-Samsung Storage Technology (TSST) and BenQ, the sources indicated. Lite-On IT took over BenQ's optical disc drive business unit in mid-2006 but did not take over the OEM manufacturing rights for Xbox 360 because it was required to obtain new certification from Microsoft, the sources pointed out.
