I've gotten a message like that before. I had left the GC open and my cat likes to shred my bulletin board. There was a piece of cork inside the disc thing. It wouldn't play at all. Checked the disc thing. Found cork. Fixed. 😄
Julie, I wouldn't trade in Outcast for a discount on Clone Wars. Clone Wars isn't all that great anyway. 18 short levels, not too great with graphcis, and a weird plotline. It's kinda like a poor Rogue Leader.
