Dirty Disc Error

[digitalwolf]

Well, ever since GoW my 306 has been playing silly games with me.

Tonight, on my brand new NFS: Carbon it came up with dirty disc error. The drive has been spinning and then slowing down and then spinning. Frame rate has been awful too.

Now, my 360 is out of warranty, what are the usual causes of this error?

I get this message every 2/3 hours on Oblivion. I recently bought GOW and it came up all the time making it unplayable. I took GOW back and am awaiting a replacement disc. I'm hoping its simply the manufacturing process on the disc of certain games rather than the console itself as my other games are fine.

I've only ever had this once on GoW. All I can say is make sure your hard disk (if you've got one) is properly mounted on the 360, remount if possible and the disc is free from minor fingerprints, etc (you've probably done that though)
