The other day my X-Box decided to pull the middle finger and say
"Sorry mate, you got a DIRTY DISK! mwahahahah! Go buy another X-Box so Microsoft can say they've sold even more machines. Not that they're just BADLY made!"
Anyone had this issue? Happens to EVERY game (DVD/CD) I stick in the thing. Tiss quite annoying because I hardly ever use the thing anyways, but I bought Broken Sword 3 last week and was in the middle of playing it.
I've read on other forums that "Sometimes they just die." WTF!?! Cheap c###y console. It shouldn't 'just die'. Just not good enough.
And no, I don't have warrenty left, as I think this was one of the original X-Boxs.
Anyone know any magic tricks to fix it? Before I bother to one day, open the thing up, and have a little tinker and a spring clean. The only other alternative at the mo, is to buy a replacement drive from someone for £40. But I don't really want to do that.

Thats it my son, get out the feather duster, pledge and apron ;-)
Can't you send it back to microsoft at all? Maybe those "clean the lense" cd things could help?

Is it the game disks that are dirty, or the hard disk?
