i keep getting dirty disc errors too, but my disc isnt scratched, usually happens if i play it for a few hours then stop then play it again it happens about 30 minutes after that. it is very annoying especailly if i havnt saved in a while.

Did you scratch it? If you bought it and it was already scratched, take it back and tell them, they'll replace it...

wasnt to far from completing either

just doing a few random misions.

Which way round do you guys stand your 360, horizontally or vertically? I kept mine vertically when it moved to the other side of the room and got no end of disc read errors. No scratches luckily but it would get really annoying. Switched to keeping it horizontally and thats cured the problem for me.

Gamestation do a disc repair service for £1.99. Doesn't always work, but worth a shot. Gonna go in and get my Forza 2 disc repaired next week.

Just to let you know mate I work in ********* Leeds, its in store and only takes a minute. We just have a buffer which takes a couple of layers off the disk, it actually works around 90% of the time too, never have any complaints.
