After spending all of Tuesday offline, Xbox Live is back with a bang ... or is that a whimper? Reports are coming in from all over the Internet of Live Marketplace not working properly and games disappearing off the face of the Earth. Oh Microsoft, will you ever win?
"Basically they had some unexpected issues. So none of the games that were supposed to go live today ended up going live -- at least, this morning," an XBLA source told us.
Anything else they said was apparently too incrimating for us to post. They may have called everyone at Microsoft a "wanker" or that may be dishonest yellow journalism on my part. Who knows?
What we do know is that Microsoft is "looking into" the various issues and that you might want to double check and make sure everything about your own Xbox Live profile is hunky dory. You never know what else Microsoft may have stuffed up along the way.

Well, at least we're not paying for this service...oh shit.
But truly, how the fuck this affect my life?
Same problem here. Downloaded COD Map Pack and my other map packs disappeared. Can't see them on my game anywhere even though they show up as downloaded.
Just re-download them, its a pain in the ass butat least it takes like 2 seconds.
"When will the "you get what you pay for" rule take effect?"
I don't know...Ask the people that spend $15 a month for World of Warcraft and have had at least 200 days of outage since launch. Also, they have scheduled realm outages every Tuesday.
Thanks Microsoft, but I'm pretty sure that the only thing that's changed in my set up since yesterday is that your servers stopped working. Would it be too much to ask for you to acknowledge that, rather than ask users to change stuff in their routers which even I haven't heard of?
MTG on the other hand makes me rageface
Or you can make an avitar and not look like a prick.
"U has to pay 4 Live cause it way bettur dan PSN, dats why!"
MSfanboys favourite food is mostly bullshit.
SAD FAEC! D:
Other than that, I haven't add any problems downloading stuff or anything... Guess I'm lucky...
