Slight performance hit after Xbox 360 update?

[Mike Fishcake]

Not sure if this is a coincidence or if I'm imagining it, but after I did the Xbox 360 update a few days ago (250GB S model) I seem to be seeing an ever-so-slight performance hit - i.e. frame rate ever so slightly slower. I first noticed it on the main dashboard menu, scrolling left and right didn't seem to be as silky smooth as it was, but then I watched a 720p mp4 file from my USB drive (which i do all the time) and a couple of times throughout the video it stuttered, which I've not seen it do before. THEN, I noticed (and this may be a small thing because I couldn't say either way whether it did it before or not), the scrolling text banner on Pure judders a bit every 2 seconds.

It's probably not something most people would notice, and it's certainly not a game breaker by any stretch of the imagination, but is anyone else experiencing this or am I a special case?

Maybe you should think about upgrading it... oh wait you can't, it's a console.

Was meant to be a 'little' update but seems to have been designed to more closely monitor / block copied games from working on xbox live...

Well for me it fixed the start-up issue. I can now get the 360 to start and play the dvd straight away. After the update before christmas it would go straight to dashboard, even though the start from disc was selected. Now if only the party issue could be sorted!! No problems wiht majority of friends, but can't connect with a few. And yes NAT is open.

Ladies and gents, he's here all week.

*poke*

Console not modded in any way. Might be just a one off (well, two-off)

Notices a little bit of jerkiness once or twice in pro evo 2011 today, never noticed any before was always perfect.

I've not noticed any difference in CoD, Assassin's Creed or Fable 3's performance.

That's all I have played since the update.

[Mike Fishcake]

Ahh well. Just have to keep an eye out on it then.

Also got it with video playback

I saw a little slowdown in Burnout Paradise Party. Can't recall having seem the slowdown on that particular mini-game/area before. It happened on both players turns of the same event.

Hmmm.. might try this when I get home. Anyone else tried it?

I updated at the weekend, and definately noticed this (although it was a blink and you'll miss it kind of thing) whilst playing a few driving games with my son.

I rarely play on my 360 now, but if I played more I'd not be very happy with this.

[Mike Fishcake]

Hmm... starting to think more and more that it's not just me then.

[G4Z]

That fix didn't work then?

Been a while since that's worked, pretty sure it's now just an option on your hard drive to "perform system maintenance".

Not noticed any performance decrease but have only really played Call of Duty Black Ops.
