For those of you hoping that today's mandatory Xbox 360 system update brings new features, I'm sorry to disappoint. In all actuality, the patch is merely just another one of those "behind-the-scenes" sort of things that'll improve Xbox Live's scalability.
In similar news, Xbox Live will be down from 2:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. PDT on Monday for "scheduled maintenance." Major Nelson also informs us that Xbox.com will be unavailable and you won't be able to post on the Xbox.com forums either.
It usually isn't until the exact moment Xbox Live goes down that I want to do absolutely nothing but play online games. But seeing as how Grand Theft Auto IV is almost out and there will definitely be a sizeable surge in XBL activity, the maintenance is probably for the best.

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

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

As long as it helps avoid the nets getting nuked by GTAIV I'm all for it, as I said in another comment all it did was delay my playing the Iron Man demo. NABD.
2pm-10pm Pacific is 11pm-7pm EST (me).
These are the hours I'm awake on my day off. Grrr... At least the CoD4 Livefire/whatever is over Monday, so I won't miss any chances to NOT win anything.
It is only for a day. I'll live.
Maybe.
Also, when can we expect and update to fix the crappy licensing issue for stuff that has been bought and paid for on another xbox, but is now unavailable offline?
