So it was bang on 24 hours, did Microsoft need exactly 24 hours? obviously ...

and they changed xbox.com!!!!!!!

Man that was a long update and the GB patch still isn't up!

They apparently fix all the lag and slow down in the NXE. The menu is now super fast and even my friend list instantaneously populated. Let see how long this is going to last. It seems to performance degrade overtime. I think they really need to do schedule maintenance more often. I know people will grumble and bitch but I think it something that need to be done on regular basis. (WoW have to have regular server downtime every Tuesday).

Anyway, it's back up and working like a champ. Now let see if Magic TGT game is up on XBLA...

how?  it looks the same...

@sega, login and look at the "My Account" (your username) page. New grey/green color screen and more use of avatars.

I remember reading about a guy who got a 360 achievement every single day since launch. He logged into Live to everyday to prove it. I bet he's pissed, now!

I really noticed the improved speed, though. I was avoiding downloadable content because XBL was so slow, at one point. Now, it's business as usual.

It's about time, Netflix was calling me.

havent booted mine up yet il have a look on weekend to see differences.
