As you may know, ppl who own some of the first generation xboxes have been having these problems of not being able to run most of the new games releases. Such as Knights of the old Rep, Madden 2004, 2k2,2k3,2k4, etc...B/c you have been getting the infamous Dirty disc message or contact your xbox customer service. Well ppl, it is not the games fault or yours, its the dvd drive. Most of the first generation xboxes have the Thompson drive which is rather slower and "lazier" than the recent Philips and Samsungs.
I have a first generation 4034 Xbox and have absolutely no problems with my Thompson drive. I can play Madden 2005 all day with no problems.
