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

That would be something really a huge computer and software creator being taken out by them. They just suspended my account so Microsoft will have it coming to them for taking anyone offline, and everyone they have done anything negative to. I am not saying I support the actions that may be taking place but karma is something. I wonder if it did if it would make MS loosen up or get more strict.

Most likely some pizza into one of the servers.

My friend was having the same problem with netflix and he couldn't play fifa 11 but all you have to do is clear your consoles cache and everything will work fine

I think it's really sad that this happens to the most popular games, reach and black ops , but at least we still have MW2

I was in a party with my friends while I was playing Black Ops and he was playing Netflix, and we were on with no problems. But, I got disconnected once. So, I don't know what is going on, but if the servers go down on Xbox, I'm staying on my PS3.
