Xbox Live experiencing service outages, including Black Ops and Reach

4.8

If you've been having issues doing stuff on Xbox Live, you're not alone. Well, you are alone, because you can't connect to your online friends, but other people are having problems too.

Since last night, Xbox Live has been having various service outages, reported on its status page. Last night, it was Netflix; today, the site reports issues with creating, managing, and recovering accounts, and with creating, maintaining, or joining matches in Call of Duty: Black Ops and Halo Reach.

We're checking with Microsoft to determine the cause of these outages, and if possible the expected duration. Did the pizza guy trip over a cord, or was it something more serious? Like, maybe some pizza also got into one of the server's

epraider this smells fishy. to much of a coincidence that the 3 most active servers collapsing. this has got to be coming from the outside....

Or maybe they just overloaded. But with your point maybe someone is overloading the servers with traffic 0_o

It'll be good to find out what or who is behind it all.
