My Xbox (Phillips Drive) plays +R burned discs great. I don't have a multi
burner so I can't say how well -R disc play. JLC

Will not read DVD+R/RW

Thomson Drive:
Will not read CD-R
Will only read SOME (generally expensive media) CD-RW
Reads all DVD-R/RW

Philips Drive:
Will not read CD-R
Will read SOME (generally expensive media) CD-RW

That's funny because I have a Philips drive and the only discs I use are +R.
I've played at lest 50 movies without any problems at all. JLC
