I never noticed any but when you enjoy a game its not the kind of thing you notice unless its a massive drop.

I dont even notice if a game is 30 or 60 fps without realy thinking about it.

Every console has games that slow down, it's usually a lack of decent programming. Usually with ports from the PS2, games like SSX Tricky aren't particulary stunning yet the ports to other consoles are shoddy.

Lazy ports and shoddy programming are usually to blame.

Most Only on Xbox games have looked beyond what PS2 can do and have had no slowdown. But then theres games like MOH Frontline- a PS2 port but on xbox it shares that on some later levels has some shocking slowdown, even thought the visuals aren't that impressive.

Bloody EA, only out to make a quick buck then they complain at MS and Nintendo when there software doesn't sell.

I know what you mean. Also most of the time when you play a game then later on in the year your start to play it again your eye notices the flaws more as the games quality has advanced.

Halo has much slowdown in the multi-player modes as me, my brother and Dark Mark can tell you from experience.

But does it bother me?

Take a two-lettered guess.

Put your Xbox to 50Hertz and it runs much much better. Believe me, the multiplaer runs faster aswell.
