Lately my xbox has been giving me this message more and more frequently: "Your xbox cannot read this disk, make sure it is an xbox video game, dvd, or audio cd" (or something along the lines of that). Does anybody know why this is happening? Please respond!!!!

Is your DVD scratched? or maybe the lens in the drive dirty?

I can't really check the lens due to the fact that i can't get inside my xbox. Do you know of any trustable stores that may be able to check it out for me, maybe Best Buy or Micro-Center.

TIP: don't use the xbox CDs to serve them as a bowl for your favorite cereal.

Whats a Micro-Center?

when did you get your xbox? the older models have a thomson dvd drive and that has trouble with reading newer game discs sometimes. that could be your problem.

I had the same thing happen to my PS2, right after the warrently expired. Since then I've been more cautious around all gaming systems
