I loaded up the 360 last night, put in Halo 2, and it prompts me for an update. It updates, kicks me back to the 360 dashboard then I click Play Game.

As it loads, it's now in a big blue screen with % LOADED (put the number it's at before the % obviously), that's a bit new.

I bring up my friends like, I start games, odd. It's all now really really smooth and quick. Like a turbocharged Xbox - as well as having sod all jaggies and feeling a little smoother, it's now lovingly fast menu-wise.

I liked it. Well done to Bungie for improving on it.

Sorry, are you saying there has been an update since the 360 was launched, or are you just talking about running Halo 2 on your 360 for the first time?

Oh, and that loading screen did appear from time to time on my crappy old Xbox with knackered DVD drive.

you've seriously never seen that before? my xbox has always had that loading screen.

EDIT: it's due to having a shit drive (mine's a thompson), so i'm guessing the 360 suffers from a shit drive too.

It's much improved, yes.

That doesn't quite answer my question - I was after something more akin to either "It's still there" or "it's completely gone" - I can't imagine how it could gradiate between those two extremes - it's either broken or it isn't.

I noticed how smooth the menu's were too. Shame i cant see any actual difference ingame.

Actually, after playing a bit more, I can see that it is a lot smoother around the edges in 720p and 1080i. But then again, so are all the Xbox games I've tried. Splinter Cell: CT is quite amazingly smooth now.

It loads the main menu (yes it has to load the main menu!) while the Bungie logo video is playing on the screen, which is why you can't skip it until a certain point. If for some reason it hasn't been able to load it all before the video finished then you get that blue loading screen.

that's not right, the blue screen appears first on mine before the logo video.

I thought your original post was more of a rhetorical one <_<
