Xbox does not play well with Fable

[acidburn]

My Xbox only gets hung up with Fable.

I bought a used copy of Fable. About an hour into game play I get the green screen and error message saying the disc is dirty or damaged. Could be, as I bought it used. I clean the disc and run a cleaner disc for the optical drive.

Still get the error so I return the used game and buy a brand new copy of Fable: The Lost Chapters. And start the game over.

All is well, until I get maybe 14 hrs into the game. I now get the error randomly and have to stop and restart the console. But, it only happens with Fable: The Lost Chapters. No other games so far.I've run the cleaner disc every time this happens.

Is my Xbox on its last legs or does it just not like Fable ? Seriously though, could the save file be corrupt since I have saved a game since the 1st crash.

Has anyone else had this with a specific game only? Any thoughts would be appreciated? Thanks for reading my post.

The game save could be corrupt, though I don't think I've ever actually heard of anything like that. It's probably just dying though. Anyone who played Halo a lot on the original XBOX will tell you that you really either just have to put up with the dirty disc errors or get a new box. I'd probably just wait it out though and invest in a 360.

I've been saving up the cash to buy a 360. Hopefully my Xbox will live long enough so I can finish Psychonauts since game saves aren't transferable to the 360, or at least that is what I had heard.
