noehlp Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Xbox 360 owners - do you NEED this to play dvd movies on the Xbox 360?I read the description and it says "Xbox requires this kit to enable DVD movie playback." So I'm thinking YES, my son says NO, however he's never tried to watch a dvd on his Xbox360 yet, but shoot this price would make a REALLY nice stocking stuffer! But I need more info. Btw, I am posting this as 'Xbox' not using the word 360 because the item title does not say 360, HOWEVER, if you go under Tech Specs, it says: Compatible Devices : Xbox 360. This leads me to believe this item is FOR Xbox 360??? But oy, I'm new to this game system so who knows, lol. Enough chatter, now to the deal: Xbox DVD Playback Kit - K01-00011 Now $3.62 & Free Shipping Lists: $29.99 http://ak.buy.com/db_assets/prod_lrg_images/927/50014927.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudreyNicole Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I am wondering about this now... At that price, I may get it anyway, even if I don't know what it's for. DH is an xbox owner, and I am sure he could figure it out. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lkn4brgn Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I just asked my "game man" he said you only need this if you have the orginal xbox. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angleyez423 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 NO, you do not need it. I was unsure myself, so I just popped a movie into my XBox 360 Arcade. This system is straight out of the box with zero add-ons, no harddrive, no patches. It started to play immediately. Since all 360's are equal to or better than my system, it will play on your 360. I have no idea about the old XBox non-360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noehlp Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 Thanks you guys! My son got his Xbox taken away from Dad for the week (it's at Dad's for this time), otherwise I would have had him try a dvd himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea about the old XBox non-360.I just got one of those 360 Arcade units but still in box until x-mas. With my ps2 it was not easy to rewind movies with the controller. How does this system work? Would the cheap wireless remote make it easier to rewind or go fast forward. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWilliams1282 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Got one! Thanks OP! I hate using the controller to watch a movie, & this was too cheap not to try it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neboo Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Im pretty sure this plugs into the controller slot on the original xbox so it will NOT work on the 360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
