I got a XBOX 360 Core recently, along with Oblivion. For a week or so, the game worked perfectly. Then, I moved the console to another room, with the CD in it. After that, the load times in the game all of a sudden became very very long. Also, whenever I tried to bring up my journal (B button), the game froze.
I thought the CD might have been damaged. But, the CD looks undamaged, and worked fine in my friend's XBOX.
I then thought that the XBOX itself may be damaged. However, my other game, Gears of War, seems to work perfectly well in my XBOX, without long load times.
Do you guys have any idea why this is happening? Is there anyway I can fix the problem? Thanks in advance.

For the record, I've done this many times and it works well.
Anyway, I'll try clearing the cache when I get home. Thanks.
YMMV of course but after doing that to my 360 I had to reapply updates for NCAA Football '06 and RB6 Vegas.
[edit] And 3 separate sites I have looked at confirm that this wipes software updates from the 360.
For that specific game you are clearing the cache for or all software updates?
I've never run into this problem and I've cleared the cache for Oblivion at least 10 times since purchasing it. I've never cleared cache for other games though, so maybe that's why.
No, it won't touch your saved games - just cached files from the DVD to the HDD. And, apparently, downloaded patches (which kind of surprises me, that they get thrown into the game's cache). But saves are not a part of the game's cache.
