They started outting in new drives about a year ago. After recieving many complaints from disgruntled gamer about how they were unable to rip thier favorite music. I bought my box when they first came out so im out of luck, But two of my friend have these "upgraded" boxes, one is six months old, the other is like 2. They have absoultutly no problem with cdr's, and almost all of the new boxs are able to play them also. But ms hasnt completely stopped making the other ones, and there are still retail stores that have the old boxes. Alibet only rinky dink ones, but the golden oldies are still out there. To answer your question, yes, most every new box can play cdr's.
