Having trouble playing on Xbox Live? photo

Apparently, there's a somewhat widespread 360 outage that is knocking people out of games. A few at NeoGAF and some Major Nelson readers have reported issues. We tried it, and had the same result. We can sign in, but can't play any games online. Having issues as well? What's up Msoft? Primetime is no time for a shutdown.

Holy shit, M$ is fucking up for once. We must harass them as much as possible. They have a long way to catch up to Sony on fuckups, so we better harass them as much as possible about this one while it lasts.

Now, if this happened with Nintendo it would be e totally different story. Oh wait, Nintendo doesn't have any online games, fuck. They are really fucking up and nobody fucking cares, its ridiculous. Why aren't we lining outside Nintendo headquarters and boycotting Nintendo with profane signs and everything?

Just proves even the unbeatable XBL is prone to breakdowns.

maybe this is a big f'u you to sony...xbl may be down but they still have more people trying to play a broken system rather than hop on the ps3's online service.

sorry did'int notice my live subscription is dead....damn launch consoles. our subscription die RIGHT before xmas (dec 21-22)

the one time i can afford to re-up my subscription. I'm penniless due to the holidays

true story though...

today at my local stop-n-shop i found $$160. i went to target to buy a new XBL gold card, but they were sold out. they only had the big package with the headset and live vision camera.
all i wanted was the lil card. so since they didint have any....i finally got my hands on a DS. i did'int buy any games though. i saved what was left for smokes and gas

It's even affecting the offline portion of games; I noticed cause my GOW boots up but doesn't allow me to play my campaign, and the XBL rep confirmed it for me. So it seems to be a pretty big problem.

I am betting it is caused by the massive ammount of new accounts coupled with the metric shit ton of people off work.

Hey guys just to let you know, my Xbox connection in Mexico died last night too, first xbox gold services since 9:00 pm or so then the whole thing at about 1:00 am, it appears they are doing some major updates on the servers.

Hmm.. I dont know about you, but I think this may have something to do with the new firmware mod that appeared recently.
