  3. Is there just too much jammed on xbox?

    I'm not sure. There probably is too much going on and it just needs to be optimised for it to work efficiently. Although you would have thought it would have been optimised by now for how long the dashboard has been out. I don't see it as much of an issue
    though. As long as the games work fine Just thought of how long I have been gaming :)

    That's quite an achievement haha.

    I started in mid 80's and haven't stopped since. As I tell my wife, I could have a gambling or drug addiction so she's lucky...

    [/quote]I played my brother's pong when I was real young in the 80s. Then when the Atari came out it was all downhill from there. I was a gaming junkie. Just thought of how long I have been gaming :)
