I'm afraid to even do a Google search to see how many times this site has mentioned the 100-friend cap for Xbox LIVE, and how many of those times involved someone of authority saying the restriction would be addressed.
Now I can't say how big of an issue this is for the majority of Xbox LIVE users, but for me, most of my fellow bloggers, and I imagine a good portion of you all have either hit the friends cap or gotten dangerously close.
Anyway, Microsoft's Steve Willet told Patrick Klepek over at G4 that no one has forgotten about past promises. "It is absolutely a continued focus and I am not [a] technical architect that you could tell you why it's capped there," he says, "but I will say it continues to come up, it is something that will not be forever, but I can't give you a real time horizon on when it's going to change."
Well that was informative and eerily specific. Case closed, guys! You can go home now.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

No no, they'll still deny you. The difference is now you'll have to face the bitter truth that they are denying you because they don't like you, not because their friends list is full.
:)
Wasn't this limit tied to the Xbox1's limitation of 100 friends on Xbox Live or something? If so, I guess they'll increase the cap once they announce that the Xbox1 will no longer be fully supported by Xbox Live or something.
My friends list is always at 100 :(
It's not even that I play with all people, but some groups play Gears, some play COD, some play fighters, others are just friends I hardly ever play with, etc. It would be nice not to have to delete people you want to poke your Geometry Wars 2 score at. Speaking of which, I hate you Zeke and Conrad!!!
I actually really like the Xbox live system way more than I would have ever thought I would have. Not only has it facilitated easy to organize multiplayer, I've made some real friendships and bonds with the system. I'll be interested to see them expand the social networking options with it.
