Xbox Live Down Again: Are you getting frustrated 360 fans?
This one is pretty annoying really, Xbox Live is down again which is a pain in the butt really considering there was a week of frustration when it was down; there was even a lawsuit because of this problem as you may well know.
The official Xbox.com site says that users may experience problems performing transactions dependent on Windows Live ID availability including but not limited to Xbox 360 account creation plus renewal and recovery and even logging into or creating Windows Live ID accounts. They said “We are aware of the issue and actively working toward a resolution. We apologize for any inconvenience”.
A new update from XBL says that Arcade seems to be working well even multiplayer but some games for example Call of Duty 4 are still down, apparently as of today Xbox Live is back up and running. So some games are fine and some are not.
I will personally check this later. Please let us know if you are still having problems and how much this is frustrating you?

Halo 3, 2 hours, only 5 games played. Most time spent waiting, searching for players.
Mine has been fine!?.. i did have some problems last week but no probs now, got the Club demo & was playing COD4 for many, many hours last night, its cool & the gang as far as im concerned!
XBOX LIVE SUCKS… IM GOING TO BUY A PS3… FUCK MS AND FUCK BILL GATES… I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW SOMEONE CAN PAY FOR A SERVICE AND NOT GET IT… ITS LIKE PAYING A VALET AND LOOSING YOUR CAR… STUPID
It has truly got to the point where enough is enough. I have been pretty patient and they cannot just say that this stuff started right at christmas time. It started a week possibly two weeks prior to that. It just was not as bad. My patience level has got to the point that I don’t even want to look at my 360 without chucking it through a window. Bill Gates you have money and people, by now the problem should be fixed, so get it fixed. You are losing mass amounts of people for something so stupid. Upgrade the freaking servers and lets get it done sooner rather than 2 to 3 months later. Your wasting my time and my money, thank god i don’t use vision, but i did have intentions of it. Scrap that plan xbox live is down AGAIN!
i just played a few matches on COD4 on my ps3 before i could get in a game on the 360 its pissing me off for something i spend my money on.
Go and buy a PS3 then, and have fun playing online with no games and no people
XBox Live (Down)
Yes it sucks that it’s down, but overall it’s been pretty reliable since I signed up over 2 years ago. I feel for the new subscribers and can only imagine what their impression must be.
XBox 360 & PS3
I have both, and the Wii too. Bought the PS3 because I had the PS2 and wanted to upgrade and have the BluRay, backward compatibility etc. Loved playing Resistance, even online it was cool, no hickups with over 20 players.
My XBox 360 gets played the most. The PS3 hardly ever gets used, but that is mainly because most of my friends/family have XBox Live, and we enjoy playing online. So when a multiplayer game comes out, I buy it for the 360 instead of the PS3, unless it is a PS3 only title like Resistance. The PS3 has a lot of neat features and can connect to your PSP wirelessly, and I’m sure a bunch of other stuff that I don’t do, but others may. The 360 can connect to my PC and I can watch movies and listen to music, again, don’t use that feature much either, but some probably do.
The flaming wars between Sony and MS are pretty lame. Both systems are pretty cool. Just like Mac and PC. Both have pros/cons, to each their own.
Competition is a good thing!
It keeps prices down and forces companines to create more cool stuff for the consumer. Hey look at this new cool thing for you to buy. But wait, we made it too, and it’s even better. No ours is better, no ours is, our is, yeah but were in the process of making it even better.
seriously guys, comparing the 360 live to psn is like a wagon vs a ferrari xbox live is so much better!, just becouse its been having problems for the last 2 weeks doesnt mean its the end of the world. live has over 10 million online members and from october to now they sold an extra 3 million consoles and say half of them go online = 1.5million jump straining the servers.
Wait for a little while and things will get back to normal, even microsoft was shocked they reached 10 million members soemthing liek 6 months ahead of the predicted back in e3!!! even if lvie is down go do some singleplayer, earn some of the gamer points while waiting
p.s ive had no problems gonig on live my self last couple weeks sorry to ther est of you but just wait!
what’s going on???? i can’t play CALL OF DUTY 4!!!! FIX THIS FUCKING PROBLEM!!!
Calm down it’s not that serious, if it was psn you would chill, why can’t it be the same for ms………………… “FUCK MS AND FUCK BILL GATES” how about some respect?
Hi if this is what we have to suffer for having a 360,,it IS heartbreaking and very cost-effective, but I still love my 360 and will NOT use anything else,, Sony be hanged..BUT, I would like to know if MS would consider, not just giving us a “free XBLA game” but how about a year free Xboxlive,, trust me, Bill can afford it, especially as he called this issue with the outage a “Hiccup” quote/unquote >>> Any ideas guys >> HOW ABOUT IT BILL ???????
I WOULD HAVE RESPECT IF MY SHIT I PAID FOR WORKED… IF YOU WERE ON YOUR 3RD XBOX BECAUSE OF THE “RING OF DEATH” AND NOW YOUR SERVICE IS DOWN… YOU WOULD BE PISSED TOO, DONT TELL ME TO CALM DOWN. IF IT WERE A FREE SERVICE YOU WOULDNT SEE MY NAME ON HERE, BUT ITS NOT FREE, SO I THINK I HAVE A RIGHT TO BE UPSET ABOUT A 2 WEEK “HICCUP” AND DONT THINK THEY DIDNT KNOW THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN… THEY KNEW… IF SALES STARTING BOOMING IN OCTOBER, THEN THEY (MS AND BILL GATES) HAD TWO MONTHS TO GET PREPARED… IF THEY DID THEIR JOBS THIS SHOULDNT HAVE HAPPENED… LAST THOUGHT… $7 A MONTH + 10 MILLION USERS = $70 MILLION A MONTH, NOW TELL ME WHY THEY CANT GET IT FIXED?
iv been trying to play cod4… and its just not working. iv had problems from not finding games, to getting friends kicked out of games and cant invite them back in untill i start a new party. MY mic didnt work one day and just about everygame i play is extremely laggy or i get disconnected… its extremely frustrating… iv actually quit playing untill its fixed…
Live has been giving problem since the fall update all my friends started complaining then…..christmas just made it worse now theyve “worked” on it and patched so it almost works….i think they have more problems than they are admitting…its now 9:56PM January 11th 2008 and it took me 7 login attempts and 20 mins to even get the dashboard to pop up.this is getting ridiculous. You guys say PSN sux but what would happen if this new “home” for the PSN starts up and catches on and is still free would that light a fire under “major nelson’s” ass???
with all do respect they should have this problem fixed by now or atleast pull the fall update down and re-deploy the dashboard without it i bet that would solve 100% of the problems
My son as been playing call of duty 4 for four month now but he did an update a month ago. Since then he keeps loosing his points he as earned playing the game.
