ShadowBoltDashie I have a few friends on XBL right now and they said they're not having any problems. Is this only affecting a few people? I've been seeing people posting about it in the forums so I thought everyone was having this problem.


Usually these problems only exist in certain regions.

DubleJayJ XBL has been going down a lot lately.


Its only been down on two other occasions, and it wasn't even down for to long. PSN has been down more times and longer times then Xbox has.

People, please don't be that type of person and go around and complain about it, the PlayStation users had to deal with this for 2 months and I didn't hear any complaining from them, besides, this doesn't effect me, last time this happened I was in Hawaii, now I am leaving to go camping in the Smoky Mountains Morrow. I guess I just keep getting lucky!

How are you going to say that? This isnt even as bad as sonys being down for 2 months that should have brought their rep down a lot more than this


I prefer MS, but stop being a fanboy, this is tarnishing their rep.


how? honestly you are stupid if you think something can run 24/7 365 days a year without a glitch, your a moron at least they fix it asap

Yeah, not the first time it happened. I swear it happened sometime last month where no-body could sign in or anything.
