Although I must say, with the growing number of games on both the Arcade, and in general, the game downloads areas of the marketplace have become cumbersome to navigate. I wanted to check for new content for Mass Effect some months ago, and it took me way too long to get there on the list (sorted alphabetically, and shows about 5-8 games per ‘page’).

If I weren’t so used to using the internet to find things, I’d probably be okay with the way XBL is now – it’s not all that slow, but by comparison to how fast I can find things on a website like Google or Amazon, it seems like it is. Microsoft actually recently commented on this issue, which you can read about here:

Of course, cutting a few of the under-performing games off the list seems like a really bad way of going about making your system easier to navigate… but that’s upper management decisions for you. Personally, I think it’s more important to tout a broad expanse of games, varying in genre and quality, than just keeping the “good” ones around.

@Soleil – Yeah, it’s possible… though Nintendo doesn’t seem quite as concerned about quality in WiiWare as Microsoft is with XBL as of late.
