Everything is running unbelievably slow for me cause of this update. Even Xbox.com is messed up! Why does Microsoft always release defective crap like this update and the 360 in general. It's just so frikin' frustrating.

So is anybody at all running at normal speed on XBL?

It could be defective or it could be that how many hundreds of thousands of people have to download the update? I can imagine that their servers would be having some problems. I'm sure they'll get it straightened out. People just need to chill out.

My 360 is going really slow which is kind of dissapointing. I was hoping everyone would be experiencing this, so that a fire would be lit under microsoft in order to do something about it...

Did it not change a lot of the dashboard? I've only seen a video of it because I haven't downloaded it yet but it looks like to me they changed quite a bit.

They did do quite a bit. It's a pretty cool update. It's just that the lag is rediculous.

Same here. Not anymore though. Just restart your 360 a couple of times. Mines took like 5 minutes to load the first time i booted it up after the update. Its perefect now though.

I played COD4 for about an hour today no probs.

The problem isn't JUST the update. While a ton of people are downloading that, a ton of people are also downloading lots of other stuff (eg: big XB originals maybe?). Bandwidth to the service is probably all chewed up at the moment, give it a bit.

About 30 mins ago (9:30pm EST) XBL was having problems with games disconnected, some people's Mic's weren't working, and you couldn't get into xbox.com. Although the update didn't take long at all, the dashboard does look different in a couple of places.

I'm done for the night as far as live anyway, so no big worries today. I usually don't sign onto live at least a week after these things come out for these very reasons, but my buds wanted to get down on some GRAW2 so I obliged.

This is utterly ridiculous. I'm apalled at the state of this update and the disruptions that it has caused. I work in IT for a living, and I understand that sometimes there are problems or updates breed unwanted results. That having been said, this is still atrocious. The sheer variety of problems that this has caused (latency, online games not working, blade loading issues, RRODs, disc read errors - if you don't believe me check here and http://forums.xbox.com) coupled with the number of reports should be an utter embarassment to Microsoft.

We're all paying for this service, and if they can't continue to provide it, perhaps they can find another way to justify the hard-earned money that we gave them... IN ADVANCE.

This is just flat-out unacceptable, and I plan on seeking a refund if this isn't promptly resolved; they've never had a problem demanding money so why should I? $50 for a 12 month card = $0.13/day We're on day 2

CoD4 won't work for me now, when I try to play online it can't find games and sometimes it just sits there and freezes. A friend of mine just told me that he heard that playing CoD4 is bricking some peoples 360s because of the update.

This thread:

"Microsoft sucks! I want restiution!"

"Mine's working fine, you suck."

"Screw you!"

"Everyone chill out, 1,000's of people are downloading."

"That's not good enough."

are we done?

B.S.

Try playing any E.A. game online - NHL 08, Madden 08... all of them say that "You need to be connected to EA's servers to access this feature" or something similar. I am connected to XBL, though.

that might just be cod 4, it did something like that in the beta, there wasone where it would freeze at the loading screen but everyone was in the game playing and you could still communicate with them but the only thing you could do is restart you 360 or go back to the dash andrelaunch the game.
