My dashboard keeps briefly freezing up if I access it from within a game by pressing the Guide Button. It’s a major pain in the ass. I like to send messsages, chat, check achievement details while I’m in a game. That sort of thing. If doing so is going to freeze the system for about five seconds or more, it’s not acceptable.

Yeah, the Game Library is my major gripe too. It took awhile to load sometimes before the update, but at least you could get to some games while waiting for the others to pop up. Now you just sit there waiting 30 seconds to even be able to access the Arcade.

Yeah, the Games Library stuff is one of the worst areas, definitely agreeing there. That is one area that is doubly annoying because it was one that was supposed to be fixed by the whole local database/saving shit to your HDD thing.

The friends list is manageable to me, although I almost never wait for the images to load. It doesn’t lock up, so I can quickly scroll through and see who’s online. Since I have a Vista widget that tells me who’s online before I even turn on my 360 (though it’s only about 80% accurate), it’s not that important. My gripe is with the My Games or whatever it’s called section, which lists all your Arcade games. It takes forever for that to load, since I’ve got a lot of games, and it has to reload each time you quit a game and want to pick something new. If they could just find a way to fast-load the Recent Games list, I’d be happy.
