Yeh, the few times that has happened to me I usually put the game away and come back to it months, sometimes years later.

I blame Lil.

My question to you is... how long is this **** going to take? It's been restoring for the past half hour and it's only at 5%... barely creeping along. Should I expect it to even work? I've looked through the support threads but I trust the opinion of my fellow Musicbanterians even more.

Please, no "shoulda gotten an xbox'' comments. I will kill you.
I think it depends on how big the hard drive is and how much data is on it. I've heard that a 40gb one can take upwards to 2 hours so I don't think you have much to worry about unless it's this time tomorrow and it hasn't moved.

It'd be different if it were just some run of the mill game, but this game is so beautifully made that I really want to finish it 100%. I'll probably start it again this weekend.

Wtf why so slow? It's only 40gigs. You can do system restores on a computer way faster.

10 year old tech. Hell even modern tech isn't that fast. If you got Ryse: Son of Rome for the Xbone back in 2013 there was a 3 gb update that took upwards to 2 hours to download and install.

Thanks pete. It's definitely going to take more than two hours, but it's slowly getting along. I'm guessing 6-8 hours, but that's being optimistic. It's only at 15%.

No problem, just remember it's generally not a good idea to leave them on for extended periods of time. It's essentially a PC in a very small case and that can lead to overheating.

Unfortunately I am a marathon gamer who can go for the better part of 24 hours with no breaks other than infrequent bathroom breaks and no more than two meals. It's hell on a 360.

If it's one of the white ones then I'm surprised it hasn't failed yet. The newer black ones have proper heat venting so they can be on for extended periods of time. I think the slim line PS3s had a similar design for better ventilation. Apparently both Microsoft and Sony learned from their mistakes though with the new console generation, which is definitely a plus. I killed 3 Xbox 360s in the course of 5 years.
