Even though your "Bros b4 hos" Gamer Motto may be both poignant and accurate, you may want to rethink it if you plan on playing on Xbox Live this weekend.

If you have not downloaded the BioShock patch, then please do not. There has been nothing said of its purpose and it has caused my game and several of my friends to experience lag issues.
This is absurd for the reason that its not a multiplayer game. The makes for an awful experience and I had to turn the game off because it was painful to play through. I can only hope that this will be fixed soon because this has made the game of the year basically unplayable.
How to remove the patch:
To remove the Bioshock patch, clear the cache on your Xbox 360. Go to the System Blade, then Memory. Highlight the Hard Drive and hit Y. Hit X, X, Left Bumper, Right Bumper, X, X. Choose Yes to perform system maintenance. This will remove ALL downloaded patches. The next time you load up BioShock, do not download the patch.
