I got my xbox from the very first shipment of Xbox's, so it is pretty old. During that time, I've played over a hundred different games and CD's, which means that there are many saves on it. The xbox now loads kinda slow, and once in a while can't read some discs I put into it.

Anybody know how I can free up some memory like by defragging it or somethin? Some of the problems might not be associated with the memory, so I might have to get them checked out, but I really want it to load faster, cuz it loads pretty darn slow now. If anyone knows how I can do this without damaging my xbox or taking it apart, please share.

If you help me out, I'll give you a piece of imaginary cake. Just pretend you are eating some of the yummy cake if you give me any relevant information.

Oh, I would have taken it in to an expert, but I live in the most remote regions of Siberia.... naw, just Northern Wisconsin, but the nearest xbox dealer store is like 3 hours away, and I can't drive for a few more months yet.

Whatever you do, don't get it refurbished. It doesn't help at all. I think by "refurbish" they mean, "we dusted the outside, and didn't hit it with a hammer."

BTW my old xbox had that exact problem. its old and busted. good news, halo usually works with it still. bad news is you need a new one. I did the math, repairing actually costs more than getting a new xbox.

Did you post this in the teamxbox forums or the gamespot forums? I can't remember which but I remember a post like this without the poll.
