Slow xbox 360

Certain things i try are very slow.
i tried 3 different games, elder scrolls oblivion, call of duty 4, and halo 3. with oblivion it takes forever to scroll down my saves to choose one to save over, and when i do select a save to overwrite, it takes 3 times as long as usual. with call of duty i can't get into an online game, it puts me in my own match over and over and nobody ever joins, not to mention it takes a long time to get to that screen. and halo 3 i try to go to matchmaking and it just takes forever, i didn't wait to see if it even succeeded in connecting me. The dashboard everything is also slow. every action i make just takes a few seconds longer.

really funny thing is that some gaming sessions are fine, i have no problems with call of duty or oblivion or the dashboard.

p.s. i have a cooling fan on the xbox, and a small fan blowing on it just in case the cooling fan isn't working, because it makes a loud vibration sound when it is attached, which leads me to believe the cooling fan may not be working like it should.

p.s.s. there is something rattling in the box, a piece of something, i think it might be a piece of plastic from the cooling fan attachments (the 4 plastic appendages that keep the fan secured to the box) , for there are small pieces broken off of it.

    I'm having the exact same problem. I can't connect to LIVE, and the games load very slow.

    However, once I'm in my offline game (Halo campaign mode, or a single player game like Dead Space), things are fine "in-game".

    Regardless, all loading takes forever, and connection to LIVE is ****.

This is irritating but you have to wait a lot of game days until it pops up... for the profit make sure you have asked rumours around Anvil or another city. If you are in Anvil exit and come back in and he shall be in between Benirus Manor and The Chapel

Oblivion elder scrolls xbox360 push buttons wont work

The game is very buggy, especially the 360 version. Unfortunately the Live updates for the game don't seem to do much either. Developers have started getting into the habbit of releasing buggy games just to save money. If you have Xbox live, you can download any game updates by connecting then playing the game and it will update automatically. If the problem persists then e-mail the developers and complain, stating the issues you have with the game.
There isn't much else i'm afraid...

Controler plays as a lefty on oblivion, elder scrolls iv

Possible defect in the CD, try attempting another disk. If that doesn't work, there is a potential chance it could be the Remote, unless this is the only game it happens to. Let me know how it goes.
Thanks,
Justin
