    Sounds like your xbox is toast. DDE's are a sign of a bad dvd drive. Either replace the drive or the whole unit. Believe me, its not the game.

        He's right. There's a chance that it could be the game, but I wouldn't count on it. My XBOX went by the wayside the same way...
        A screaming comes across the sky...

            Yeah, you're gonna get it with 2k5 too. I've attempted to play 5 games and have only been able to finish one. Twice it froze before the game even started, it froze once in the 6th and once in the 8th. Very frustrating. Moral of the story, it's most likely your unit, not the game.

                The DVD drive in your Xbox is going bad and it needs replaced or the whole unit needs replaced. Games that seem to need a lot of info streamed off the game disc will more that likely cause the Dirty Disc Error message. Sports games do this alot.

                Believe me its not the game disc.

                    Yes, I've been getting many DDE's with this game. Sometimes when it loads up different screens, and also in every game. Sometimes the in-game DDE's pass if you give it long enough (1-2 minutes), and it just jumps back into the game, mid-commentary and everything. Weird. The only other games that I've gotten DDE's on was Madden from 2 years ago (but never on this year's) and Morrowind when I first got my xbox, so I wouldn't say that it's because my drive is going bad.

                    Edit: Oh I forgot, on ESPN College Hoops this year I was getting freezes until I turned off the custom soundtracks. I didn't use custom soundtracks on this game for that reason.

                        Was that a newer XBOX or did it need the power cord replacement? If the bad cord does generate a ton of heat could that be whats killing the dvd drives?
