Format the fucker, and do it again when it slows down. Its the only way.

I kinda got that impression from the fortnight of phone call hell I endured.

This issue popped up again recently in the XNA forums as (yet another scapegoat) reason people might not want to bother trying Indie Games. It received a rather irritated response from the mods, in the form of “the engineers have already said it can’t be changed, so shut up about it”.

So, I don’t get the feeling the problem is being worked on in any capacity.

Much the same experience here. NXE screwed things up so that the games list took forever to populate, the update a few months back improved things slightly, but now it’s getting unbearable again.

It seems to be a fairly widespread problem too so I’m surprised there isn’t more media coverage of it.

I hope you get something sorted Rob.

No worries. I think a great majority of your readerbase have probably experienced issues with the 360 whether it be hardware or software.

I have noticed my game list loading times increase over time. An update around 2 months ago IIRC did reduce it somewhat but now it’s at it’s worst.

If your 360 works without the HDD then I suppose it has something to do with NXE or how files are managed on the HDD (I guess that would be pretty obvious).
