Worthwhile to upgrade to new xbox 1.1 from old one??

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone who has owned the original xbox version 1.0 has found it worthwhile to upgrade to the new xbox version 1.1?? Do newer xboxes have a more accurate laser, better hard drive or something?? I know that new ones don't have a fan on the gpu and use a better heatsink instead, but that just sounds like a cost saving option to me...

Only thing I heard offhand is that some original xbox systems 1.0 had crappy/defective lasers. I occasionally get the "dirty disc" error myself, but am not sure if that also happens with the new xboxes.

Thanks for any advice

Bruce

This is a copy and paste job from xbox-scene

Goto the "settings" option in the XBOX menu and select "Sytem Info". You will see lots of legal text.
At the end of the txt you will see something like
K: 1.00.xxxx.01
D: 1.00.xxxx.01
If you don't see this you still have one of the first xbox versions (3944 - USA only) , so it's a v1.0
If the xxxx = 4034 or 4036 or 4627 you have a v1.0
If the xxxx = 4817 or 4972 you have a v1.1
