Current Status: [Update- 12/29/07]: The little orange box of super helpful text has now changed. - Uhm, that doesn’t fit the profile of “up and running� to me. Anyone else? [Update 2 -12/29/07]: As of 8:30 PM PST, we’re advised that Live is on track for recovery. I am sighing out of disgust. The message now reads Let’s be hopeful that this is the last time we have to hear that, and the Xbox team can give themselves high-fives for saving the day. Please? [Update 3- 12/30/07]: Well, it seems as though our hopes and dreams have been frozen like all those Splicers in BioShock and thrown against a brick wall, as Live is back down….for the 4th consecutive day in a row. Larry Hyrb, “Xbox Live’s Major Nelson�, has given this brief statement on his blog: So it looks as though it’s not stable, but it’s not totally broken- just don’t count on being able to log in at any random time and have it work. Are you serious? Come on guys, I don’t think anyone is falling for this anymore, just come out and give a solid explanantion…made up or not…that will tide folks over. Flying monkeys with Sony baseball hats invaded the Xbox Live server center and ripped the cables apart? Sure I’ll buy that, it’s better than constant Support updates with the same text. I think I�ll go play some Unreal Tournament on the PLAYSTATION Network as I wait. All I can say is, if I were a new 360 owner experiencing Live like this for the first time, I’d think this was normal behavior. Big mistake. Here’s a handful of hope for the New Year. [Update 4- 12/31/07]: Xbox Live maintained stability for roughly 3 or 4 hours this morning, only to go back into hospital ward again. As of Noon PST, we’re back at the dreaded No “up and running� anymore, so the only thing to do is be patient. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to meet with the people planning the riot march. [Last Update!] It's Fixed! Woot! Please note the current update is in blue.
Re: Status of Xbox Live [Update 4] Why must they do this to us. They should have stopped selling XBL so everybody wouldn't have gotten it for Christmas. Hopefully, they'll update, and no more lag, ever. I can wish, right
Re: Status of Xbox Live [Update 4] See, this is what happens when ten year olds are allowed to play on live, or micrsoft screwed live up when they did that update... But I still like the blame the children, Lol.
Re: Status of Xbox Live [Update 4] Do you really think that 10 year-olds caused all this you guys? Come on.
Re: Status of Xbox Live [Update 4] Yeah, it's not the influx of people, no way could an overload break it this badly. I've discovered a "fix" for some things. It will say that I can't send a message or join somebody's party, so if you want to do something and it gives you an error, just try it again like 10 times and it usually eventually works. It was giving me an error I couldn't send a message, so I just mashed the (A) button and it worked.
