This has really gotten to me now. I have lived through it for a while, thinking it would get better, but NO! It hasn't got better, hasn't gotten any better at all. I can put in a perfectly new game and it will give me the dirty disk error. I would like to play the X-Box without worrying about the error everytime time I put in a game. The games always pause in the middle and take a few seconds to start back up. Microsoft needs to be aware that about 22,000,000 people are having the same problem. I bought mine for $300 with nothing but a controller and cords. Now you can get them for $199 with 2 games and a controller, plus, not nearly as many problems. Am I just over reacting or is this bothering everyone (that has the problem)?
