Yep, same for me too. I had no problems with it for the longest time and then all of a sudden, BLAM! Dirty Disk Error! I'm mad! I bought that and Rainbow Six at the same time and I love both of them.

You guys must have old thompson drives. I had a thompson drive and crimson skies was giving me dirty disc errors too. I thought it was the game but it wasnt. For some odd reason alot of the newer games recently arent working so good with older thompson dvd drives...alot of DDEs. You should call microsoft about it or if not still under warranty replace the drive yourself.

The old Thompson mucked up my xbox and it scratched most of the discs I put in. So I bought a new one and that was the new version. Its basically what the new PC uses.

yeah, I get that error too, and i have a thompson drive, but there is a twist to my story. I noticed that I only get the error if I play the game at about 10:00 at night. I am not stupid or anything, I really did notice that, it nev4er does it any other time of the day, all I do is turn off my box, let it sit for a sec, then I resume playing and it never does it again. hhhmmm.....

Well all I know is I got this game brand new and it would do it after I was playing for awhile, single player or multiplayer at anytime of the day. Then I switched my thomson out for a samsung and never had any problems again. No scratches, no hackers, no problem :D

Since I got the new drive, I haven't had that problem for ages now, not for any games whatsoever.

I get errors on Crimson Skies too.

I've been gaming on my Box a lot more lately and my Thompson drive just starting making all sorts of noises. Time to upgrade my box I guess.

At least I know what's going on now thanks to you guys. I had no idea they used different parts on the machines.

Glad I got the warrenty...I just traded my XBOX in a few months ago because I always had this problem.

I got a DDE on Crimson one time and I think I know how it happened. I was holding my boost and went to accept a mission... I hit X just as I approached the plane and accepted. I didnt hear the guys voice and no music started playing when the enemies approached. Then it gave me a DDE. I think if theres too much going on it crashes.
