I heard it's just to lay some ground work for the facebook and twitter intergration.

I didn't get an email, just a message on the XBox. Also there's no need to shout.

Christ almighty, it's 1 day out of 365!

Get over it - even if you paid €60 for your Xbox Live sub for a year, it's 16c a day!

If you want to be a smartarse about it, its 16c x ~6 million or around €960,000

Have to agree with CiaranC here, if I paid €960,000 for my xbox live sub I'd be pissed off too, happily I got mine on ebay for 40 quid so I'm ok with it.
I'd check ebay next time round Ciaran.

wtf, a 24 hour outage on a paid service, thats unreal

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I'm sure if you ring up MS, they refund you 6 or 16 cent per day. Bush the boat out, ask for 20 cent while your at it.

Otherwise, you could go hang out with friends, do some work, go to watch a film, or hell, you could even go voice your outrage on the interwebs. Oh. wait.

Jesus better not criticise microsofts engineering department in here again, the fanboys will lose it altogether

Lads can we do as Grumpy said and cool it. It will be back up in just over 12 hours, go read a book or something. Life does exist outside of Xbox Live.

I agree, ye need to chillax a little more. Its not like they left you high and dry. There has been a message on the website about this for the last week. They sent you a message on XBL 2 to 3 days ago. If you weren't online in that timespan, you are obviously not playing enough to warrant complaint. Further more, they sent an email out last week. If this came to you unexpectedly, its your own fault.
XBL live goes down for about two days each year, its common knowledge. Grow a pair and deal with it.

Kirby

Yeh because he didn't understand the first person to tell him to "chill". He clearly needed the five other people to post saying the same thing.

Guys jumping all over him repeatedly might be a staple of the intarwebs but I think he gets it by now.

Rev. Kitchen

Really should have looked here first i spent the last 2 hours trying to set up an xbox to my new eircom connection sat here trying to google MTU settings :mad::mad::mad:

Lol i doubt you're the only one who didn't realise this.

What do you mean they arent getting paid?

And this is not the first period of downtime supposedly designed to prevent the need for further downtime for routine maintenance.

I can imagine telling my customers that we are taking their services offline for 24 hours to work on them, they'd be delighted. Actually theyd tell me to cop on to myself

Surely 1 period of 24hr downtime is better than random hours every few weeks or so?

and its one day, relax

Soby

How stupid am i trying for ages wondering why i couldnt connect all of a sudden...and i started the fecking thread:pac:

Peyton Manning

Is it still down then, it is?

Fingleberries

Looks to be back up, and a new look live.XBox.com to boot.

Kiith

While i've no problems with downtime for maintenance, it probably would have been a good idea to have a notice when logging into the machine saying that there was a downtime.

Didnt effect me at all though.

GAAman

Yeah even though i read this thread i sat down with one of the first days in a few weeks to play on live and tried at least 3 times to connect and trying the usual jiggery pokery to get it workin again

I dunno bout you but on the 3rd attempt i got a message saying bout the downtime hence not trying a fourth

Indie18

I can live with one, two, three or how ever long the down time is, so long as my supscription is extended by that amount of days to make up for the day or so of service that they didn't provide, saying that I don't see them doing this.

jayteecork

FreeOSCAR

New Xbox.com is hideous!

James Howlett

Agreed.
I don't need to see the full avatar of my last three friends online.
Thd old list option was better.
Agh.

Atavan-Halen

Aye, I'm not mad on the new xbox.com at all.

If you don't mind a 1%, or less, downtime per year, you're a "fanboy". :)

James Howlett

I logged back online there for a second look.
On a second though I might get used to it...

Y2J_MUFC

It would be nice if we could have the option to switch back and use which ever you prefer.
