Funny, just yesterday I was thinking how it would be good if these two services were down for Christmas. Spend time with your family instead of playing stupid games all day.
Rofl. Thought it was down because everyone got a playstation of Xbox and was trying to get on at the same time.
That's lame though. As a kid you can be waiting all month to play it and to have it down...and you are on your vacation. That's lame. You can also play games WITH your family too.
A lot of disappointed kids today who just got their shiny new console/game but can't play it for whatever reason.
Not necessarily a bad thing. Violent video games have been linked to a spike in violence amongst youth and other anti social behavior. Often times foul language is used while playing online with other participants- I read in a study in the British medical journal, The Lancet.
ugh...back down here's the winbeta interview with them http://www.winbeta.org/news/exclusive-interview-cyber-terrorist-group-lizard-squad-why-they-brought-down-xbox-live-and-psn
