The New (Laggy) Xbox Experience

March 8th, 2009

Maybe you’ve noticed in the past month or so that the New Xbox Experience has been hit with a case of lag. It can be pretty bad, and I’ve found that it’s most noticeable right when you power-up the system and either try to bring up your friends list (say, so you could join them for a game of Street Fighter right away) or launch one of your recently played games from your Quick Launch menu.

Tonight I decided to make a little YouTube vid of the slowness I’ve been seeing in the NXE. To preface this, I’m using the Microsoft-produced Xbox 360 wifi dongle (hooked up through the HD-DVD drive’s USB) which communicates to an Apple Time Capsule wifi router that’s hooked directly to my Comcast cable modem.
