My girlfriend recently picked up the Urbz on Xbox and at first the game was working fine, but now (three days later) the game locks up 5 minutes into play and I get a DRE.

I thinking it's the Xbox, since it does have a thompson, but no other games are having the same problem, so I was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem, could it be the game?

Its your thompson

Thompson drives = suck

Right now you have 3 options

1. Try a cd/dvd disk cleaner disk and clean the lens.

2. Open the drive if the first thing fails and try a pot tweak (this will pump a lil life in it)

(tut at http://dwl.xbox-scene.net/~xbox/xbox-scene/tutorials/Xbox-Thompson-DVD-drive-laser-adjustment-procedure.pdf)

3. Buy a new drive (recommended)

If you do buy a new drive, make sure its a phillips/samsung since these are better than the crappy thompson/hitachi drives.

Also try and avoid a toshiba-samsung drive.

You can buy drives from www.llama.com

Good luck!
