    XBOX Live update

    I just logged onto Live and had a message from XBOX. It states that on Monday Sept 29, Live will be down, for up to 24 hours, so they can perform maintenance that will "bring some new and exciting features and funtionality to you this holiday".

    I hope the holiday they're speaking of is Halloween. I'm actually VERY excited for the new dashboard and it's features.

    They'd better do something to spruce things up a bit. Sales and enthusiasm for their product are declining.

    Thanks for posting. I read about this last night and forgot to mention it here. I am looking forward to it as well. Anyone seen the XBL version of Mii?

    Apparently, there's a "Rock Band 2" promotion on Xbox Live that mentions it's coming in November. Probably right around when Gears of War 2 hits.

    The thing I'm most excited about is the ability to install your games on your hard drive. Faster load times an no more wear and tear on your disk drive.

    I don't go on everyday but I can see why people would be mad, they are paying for a service and now that service will be down for a day. Hopefully Microsoft will credit everybody a day.

    Honestly though, if I had not read this I probably never would have even known it will be down.

    Hopefully its the new Wii upgrade.. err I mean dashboard upgrade.

    dude, its £39.99 for a year, so one day out of 365 is ,what?, 9 and a half pence? thats hardly worthy of reimbursement, 24 hours is no biggie, these people are being over the top dicks about it on kotaku, if you cannot wait 24 hours for a total overhaul of the console and the service then these people need to take something for stress and chill the frigg out.

    Damn. I've never been on Live. Is it THAT great?



    Those are probably the guys that do nothing but play video games. It's their goal in life....

    whilst the 1 vs 100 stuff isnt my bag i like how you can win t shirts and stuff off it, didnt they do something like that when the 360 launched?, but it was based on reaching points like 10,000 gp and stuff but when it ran out too fast they scrapped it?

    lol

    Very nice but still there's no reason to go apesh8t because the service is going to be down for one day. How about going on a...DATE!!

    They also have to realize that for major upgrades that has to happen. I can recall this site being down for a day or two in the past as well.
