Do not, I repeat, DO NOT spray a bunch of shi in there. That will do more harm than good.

Just take the disc back and exchange it for a new one. If it doesn't work, send in your box.

Stunner, one request...don't mention DDE on a server I'm on again!!!:cuss:

I didn't have one DDE while I had the original Ghost, I didn't have one until after you mentioned it!:cuss: After I was off the server with you, I haven't gotten it since! So please, I don't need this to spread to me again!:eek:

Dude....Your xbox is busted. Its not the disc. Because you get DDEs with GR and GR:IT.


Do this:

- Buy a new Xbox

- Wipe your your old Xbox HD

- Return the xbox you just bought, but swap the xboxs

- Get your money back

Problem solved. Do it at walmart. Im sure they will send it out to get serviced or destroyed. Everyones a winner.

Getting busted? He is buying an xbox. There is something wrong with it, so he is returning it. Thats all they need to know.

He paid his $300.00 when it 1st came out. He is entitled to return an faulty product. Hes doing the same thing, but with a few extra steps.

I was not aware of that.

If thats the case, try taget than. Infact, try any whole sale store like BJs or Sams club.

You basically want to go to any store were people will treat an xbox like its a VCR. Or where they cant tell the differece.

NO FEAR...

Some of the old XBoxes don't have the updated drive to read certain games 100% properly. The new Philips drive found in the new XBoxes is a much better drive. I think JJaX is right, it's his XBox.

Umm, so what you guys talk about it's who pay the Xbox for 500 bucks (at the launch) is all craps, and who buy the latest ones will be ok ? :eek:

Wolfenstein isn't laggy, even if you have a pretty crappy connection like myself 640/160 DSL. Ghost Recon is twice as laggy, and twice as buggy. You can't cancel on screens, Quick Match takes just as long as Optimatch, and the graphics are dated. Everyone beats the campaign and owns anyone who hasn't. It's a game of who finds who first. Ghost Recon/UbiSoft needs to bow down to Activision and Wolfenstein. I'm sure OXM said "It's the definitive Xbox Live experience." for Wolfenstein, just for kicks eh? Best current Xbox Live game. Period. MotoGP is fun too though. And Wolfenstein campaign is amazing. Ghost Recon's is boring, slow, and painfull dreadful if you want all the cool "bonus" awards by keeping teammates alive, etc.

Noob.........

Try a REAL game before advising someone to play your choice.

Hey werent you the one that said Screw KOTOR, NCAA is coming?
And didnt you end up loving KOTOR? Trust us, give GR:IT a chance.

Wolfenstein was cool at first. But GR owns it in the long run. But than again, thats just my opinion as well.

heh. Yes it is true, I did dismiss KOTOR. But Ill admit, I was VERY wrong. I havent even played NCAA a second since KOTOR came out.

But regardless, I like RTCW much better then Ghost Recon. I did play the first one on Live many times but its just not what I like. It didnt have rankings, had to press white button to talk, a lot of bugs, and not to mention it is just to slow (for my likings). Lets not forget to mention I actually can get a medic when I call for one in rtcw. :D

If your problem is only with the Ghost Recons disks then I am willing to bet it is the discs. Try boiling them if you could careless about possible damage. Or how about this, try CLEANING them. There's an idea. It seems everyone who comes on here complaining about dirty disc errors never say they actually tried to clean the discs. They just suspect its the hardware.

A beg to differ....

Im not quite sure the THe DDE is really caused by the disc. Read this.....

hey all,
I'm just making this post to see if anyone knows all, or at least msot, of the causes of the dreaded dirty disc error?

The example I'm going to use is morrowind. I love morrowind and bought it, and loved it before i even modded my box. It started to give me dirty disc errors however, and not just in a specific place, but just randomly when i would try to bring up my character menus. This annoyed me greatly, but i lived with it until I heard about the samsung 616t drive replacement. I immediately got one, and successfully modded it, and i thought my troubles with morrowind were over (as i heard this drive will have no problems reading media, even if it's a little roughed up). but i still randomly get the errors, only when i try to bring up the character menus, and only about once every 20 times i do it... it's the weirdest thing.

is there somethign besides the obvious that causes dirty disc errors in games? Why do only certain games seem to have these problems?

(just for the record, I still even get these errors when trying to play morrowind off the hard drive, so i seriously doubt it's actually the disc being dirty (although i suppose it could have gotten ripped off my original wrong))

anyway, any light someone could shed on the subject would be appreciated,

dave

Heres another interesting post...

I have been periodically getting dirty disc errors and intermitent lock-ups in some games. I just read a thread someone started on teamxbox.com about how their Xbox was putting perfect circular scratches onto their game discs. Well, I just started examining my game discs again and low and behold I've got these circular scratches on all of my discs. They are perfect circles and seem to be scratched randomly into the discs. there seems to be at least 4 or 5 of these scratches on all of my discs, but the scratches are in different spots on each disc. (These are not circlular patterns that are appearing naturally in the chemical material that makes up the back of the disc, these are actual scratches that have been more or less engraved into the disc)

I wonder if this is related to the "dirty disc message" and the random lock-ups I've experienced in games like Halo and PGR? Has anyone else seen these type of scratches on their discs? The scratches can be hard to see, you may need to look at your discs at different angles under different types of lighting before you actaully see them.

And heres one more i suggest you read...

Hey there. I recently replaced my Xbox HD with a 20gig drive.
I replaced the Xbox drive, because it had been damaged somehow (clicking, refusing to boot etc)..

Now, with the new drive in, when I try and play games off the DVD, I get a dirty disc error (JSRF & CM3) , and Halo, well Halo plays, but there are long freeze periods. These are all original games, new as.

So, I figured my DVD drive (Thompson) was a bit buggered, and copied a few of these to the HDD. However! I have the EXACT same problem on the HDD, errors appear at the same places.

Here is a list of things I've tried
- Disable IGR
- Remove Network cable
- Cleaning DVD Drive
- Deleting Gamesaves
- Emptying Y and Z partitions
- Locking the drive / unlocking the Drive

No change. Does anyone know what could be causing this! This is a v1.0 JAP Xbox, Evo 2.4 BIOS, Evo 3XXX Dash.

Any Advice is appricated.

My point? People are getting DDE while playing games off their modded HDs. So its not really the disc.

My suggestion, get a new xbox.

Trade your GR disc with someone that lives near you that doesnt get DDEs. Im sure you will still get problems and he will have none.

In your opinion, OF COURSE. :D I did lol at that pic though. In your opinion, what makes Island thunder better then the original one? I did have my fun with GR but not I didnt get near enough out of it as I have Unreal or RTCW. It just doesnt seem to me that Island Thunder offers much more then the original.

Hmm, so you're saying that if you get the same problems with your friends Xbox then you are screwed? Screwed because your Ghost Recon: IT disc is broken, or screwed becuase your Xbox somehow isn't good? If you borrowed your friends XBox and had the same problems, it would point more towards there being problems with the disc, which can easily be replaced. If you didn't get errors with your friends Xbox then it would point towards problems with your Xbox, which is bad. Then you would need to replace your Xbox, which isn't so easy for most poeple.

Anyhow, interesting posts indeed JJax, I never knew of such problems before.
