1. I think it also reduces the extra long load times between races and after restarting a race. Yeah i think thats what it does.

...Atleast I can wish right?

3. I received this update yesterday when I started playing it (just recently bought it), and I was wondering the same, what did it do? It didn't seem to do much, it didn't even fix the "slow menu animation" glitch where sometimes the animations on the menu and load screens will go slowly (noticeable also when it ranks you on a crash junction). Its very minor issue but I notice it.

I am guessing it more than likely fixed some online based issues and probably improved some load times.

4. Don't hold your breath on the load times. (Really. You might pass out), I doubt any publisher would dig that deeply into their product as I'm sure decreasing load times would require a substantial effort.

Load times are long for a lot of 360 games, but it doesn't really bother me. I've grown up on the Commodore 64, which had horrible load times, so I've been conditioned to just accept it.

The game play is what matters to me in the end.

I hope more games will detect and use the hard drive for cache. That would reduce load times considerably. Seeing that probably 90% of users have the HD, it's a safe bet.

5. I wish they would have shipped every xbox with some kindof hard drive, even if it were to only be used to cache game data. That is my only true gripe about the xbox system's hardware as we speak.

6. Wonder no more, folks.

The patch fixes the bug that was keeping the downloadable kiosk cars from working. So if you have a memory card and downloaded the Xbox 360, Gamestop, Circuit City and Best Buy cars, they'll finally work. As far as I know, this is all the patch does.
