Lets take a poll and see if your Xbox has acted up funny before.

This includes:

- freezing
- Dirty Disc Errors
- Not identifying Xbox discs correctly
- Blinking funny colours

I got a dirty disk error with Halo and Obi Wan. Both times, I just took the disk out, gave it a quick wipe with a lint free cloth, and put it back in.

Obi Wan , on the other hand, locks up like a mother-F@#$er. I can make it lock up on anyone's console simply by getting a group of 4 or more enemies to cluster up, then do a sabre throw at them. Wham..instant game freeze. That game really torqued me off at how many times it would lock or stutter.

DDE seems to be the famous one. I think all xboxes had this problem.

my game frooze once in obi-wan and a few times in morrowind. i got dirty disc errors in morrowind. morrowind is the game that adds a lot of checks ot your poll. one time it didnt recognize my disc because the disc actuall was dirty. and the light blinks cuz i only have the electric plug plugged in and i need to plug in the other.

Ive never had a DDE...only lots of freezing, although only when playing MW. I guess its all the load times and stuff...the developers should have taken save blocks into consideration. Since every new environment you enter auto loads your save file which lags the game for 1 sec at most.

You should have had another category for "NO PROBLEMS EVER" for people like me.

If you have 'NO PROBLEMS' then I dont think you play any games.


Do you just stare at your Xbox?

Do you play games for more than 30mins?

Do you own Morrowind?

Do you have friends? (just wanted to add that in :D)

Morrowind will give you the "Dirty Disk Error" but it's not an XBox problem, it's a bug that occurs when you switch between the different sized maps.

He said he hasn't had any problems. I haven't either. And yes, I play them for a lot longer than 30 minutes.

He said he hasn't had any problems, wether he owns morrowind or not.
Wtf does owning morrowind have anything to do with an Xbox problem?!? Its obviously the game thats the problem.

The only problem I have encountered so far is the dirty disc error.

Yes, I own Morrowind. I've never had a problem with it. However, I've probably only put about 20 hours into the game so far.

I had mine since early Feb. and no problems yet.I just found out that if you hook up your xbox with only one wire (the one to hook up in an outlet obviously),and dont hook up the one with the 3 colors (or dont hook it up all the way),your xbox will be blinking red.You guys probaly already know this though,I just thought I should say this for people that dont,so incase it does happen,check to see if its connected or connected all the way in.

Just to let you know....Dirty Disc Error is not a problem....It's a bug. :)

got mine 1st day, have put in tons of hours into Morrowind (once did over 7 in one sitting) and haven't had a single prob thus far...
As for the dirty disk thing, i think it's a "need to clean game issue", not a bug and not a problem with the Xbox:)

Are there any major problems with the PS2 as well? Like unreadable discs?
