Content Cache and Title Updates...

Just wondering... what exactly is content cache and what happens when you clear it and also, where are all these 4-5 mb title updates going when I down load them, they are not in my game's folder and they are not in the content cache as it is only a few KB at best so where are they going? I have 14 games and probably 150-200 MB in title updates  downloaded but the only ones that visibly show are my Tomb Raider Update, my Walking Dead update and my NHL 13 update, all the others don't show anywhere, just curious...

No, no Lois, this has to be said delicately...

(Looking at Chris' teacher) Our son, would like, to... PLOW you.

Cache memory is sort of fast access memory storage unit. This is where your game updates go, unless the game updates are big enough to be stored on the actual hard drive.

Some games (Skyrim, Fallout 3 or New Vegas) suffer from memory leaks, which means they tend to dumb/fill the cache with data, while playing. So, it is a good idea to clear the cache once in a while, but of course, this deletes all your game updates as well.

All you have to do after that is just re-download the updates.
