Oh crap I thought it was just my Xbox messing up. I couldn't download some new update for Bioshock and it wasn't loading any demos from the marketplace. I got really pissed and almost threw the controller at the xbox.

A conversation that took place a couple of days ago on the 23rd or 24th...

Comcast:"Sir, have you contacted Xbox Live to see if they are currently working?"

iDrizno:"Ma'am, 3 of my boys are waiting for me in a pre-game lobby...I'm pretty sure Xbox Live is working."

Comcast:"(Silence)"

Comcast:"Have they tried calling Xbox Live?"

iDrizno:"(Ends call and loads another bowl)"

Only thing I could guess is that their servers are being overloaded?.?.? It is that time of the year when a lot of people are off work or out of school. They are also getting back home from the Christmas holidays. Who knows. I'm back to playing Assassin's Creed and Guitar Hero 3 cause it takes 20 mins to get into a match on Halo.

XBL has been very flaky ever since christmas-time...nothing wrong with our 360s themselves, that's what I thought for a couple days but it's not

just server overload I'm guessing, due to a bunch of new software people have gotten

I had the same problem and I spent like an hour trying to figure out if there was a problem in my network setting, because it wasn't like live was completely dead, it was on and off. I almost went as far to buy a new router. I've got to have my cod4 fix.

I wish they would have send an email to their clients next time when the service has a problem.

Microsoft offers a freebie to ease Xbox Live frustrations

Associated Press


SEATTLE — Microsoft Corp. said today it will give Xbox 360 owners a free video game to make up for poor performance over the holidays by the system's online hub.

Gamers log on to the Xbox Live Web site to buy games, television shows and movies to load onto their consoles, and interact with other players.

Video game blogs such as Joystiq recently reported that users had a slew of problems with the site over the holidays, including trouble signing in, downloading media and getting matched with online opponents.

"We are disappointed in our performance," wrote Marc Whitten, general manager of Xbox Live, on the Xbox 360 support Web site.

Whitten said record-breaking traffic and new-member sign-ups caused the "intermittent Xbox Live issues."

Microsoft, which says it has sold more than 17.7 million Xbox 360 consoles since the system's November 2005 debut, bulked up its capacity for gamers on Xbox Live both before the release of the wildly popular "Halo 3" and ahead of the holiday season.

The software maker did not publicly detail the problems Xbox users faced or the steps it has taken to fix the issues.

Whitten said the company will give a free game from the Xbox Live Arcade, but did not say which titles will be chosen, or when.

suprised this hasn't been posted. Some people from Houston are suing Microsoft for the outage. Have to admit I was hoping it would be a poster from the bss.

Microsoft now faces a lawsuit over recent problems with its Xbox Live online gaming service. Three Texas residents filed a lawsuit Friday on behalf of themselves and others who have had trouble connecting to Xbox Live in recent weeks.

The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Houston, claims Microsoft's outages represent a breach of contract and negligent misrepresentation for which the software maker is liable. The suit doesn't claim specific damages, but notes the amount is in excess of $5 million.

In the suit, the plaintiffs allege that Microsoft should have known strong holiday sales would tax its servers. "Microsoft knew the increase in subscriptions would increase game-play on its servers, yet failed to provide adequate access and service to Xbox Live and its subscribers," read the filing.

Microsoft has apologized for the outage and said it would allow Xbox live subscribers to download a free game. A Microsoft representative was not immediately available for comment.
