If we can determine which type of Xbox is inside of a box, from the box, and then we can tell which type of ODD is in the Xbox from the console by looking at its info plate, then this type of information can certainly be put into the description field.
I need to know, from people who have multiple different Xbox (original, 360, one) boxed consoles, if there is a number on the box that differentiates between them. Those who only have 1 for each console, or only have loose consoles will not be able to answer this question... BUT those that do have a boxed console would be able to provide in this thread a picture of where item numbers appear on the box, and then perhaps we can kludge something together with enough examples.
