    Microsoft has got to do this now, The only problem i've had since the inception of NXE is the GOD DAMN freezes of NXE and the guide button.

    In a game, go to check my messages....freezes for 10 seconds cause its accessing information.
    And its soley cause of the larger amount of information being exchanged on NXE over the past interface and how many people are accessing this infromation they need to get more servers to serve this information because its a consistant problem thats really geting to me go to check something or invite someone and freeze....

    Crunch in november-december 1.5 million people were consistantly on xbox live, I dont have a link but i do believe PR at one time said the service at that time was only ment to handle 500k or so on at a consistant time.

    Oh wow I always thought that was just me.  My friend has a 360 too and his only slows down on the marketplace.  I was thinking that it was something to do with my wireless modem not being the right configuration or maybe my 360 complaining about the heat.  They do need to fix this.  It pisses me off to no end in some cases.  Especially marketplace stuff taking upto a minute showing you what's available to download, thats the bit that gets me the most.

    yeah but literally most every one is having a problem, and microsoft is consistantly adding more servers I know this for a fact they just need to get on it faster i know it will be fixed at some point cause they will literally have too such heavy usage will be killing the servers they all ready have i just hope they are puting alot of effort into geting them up fast.

    yeah i have that problem sometimes too but i believe it has to do with the fact there are not enough servers to deal with the capacity of people and information being over NXE now.
