Down with the Live-ness!
LIVE
DOWN
AGAIN.
Three words you wouldnt expect to hear now, really.
And they were blowing the horn about reaching the 10m users of Live target 6 MONTHS ahead of target...
Would enough people from the UK be willing to email BBC's Watchdog program about this very problem?
I am seriously considering it, especially given the fact that this is supposed to be one of the Richest and Biggest companies in the world, yet they didnt prepare to have new customers log on to Xbox Live over Chrimbo?

Re: Down with the Live-ness!
Just finished?! Try and get on again, and tell us what happens...
Lets just say, my GF is on there, and everyone in her room is having problems galore!

Re: Down with the Live-ness!
To check whether xbox live is up and running check here: http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/support/
Seems to be working at the moment.

Re: Down with the Live-ness!
Reading the xbox forums, apparently even if the support page says xbox live is up and running this does not actually reflect what is going on. There are still issues with it - I've noticed that the system blade takes an age to load, you might or might not get problems with COD4 same for GOW and a few other games - luck of the draw. I've also noticed Messenger never works, always get the 'can't sign in' message everytime. Some people even report that their paid for content Arcade games will not unlock even though they are still using their original xbox and hard drive, so you can't blame DRM. Seems one almighty problem for xbox live.

Re: Down with the Live-ness!
I've not had any problems with live recently apart from one evening i couldn't get into a game of COD4 but Halo3 and Pro Evo were fine so i think it was the COD servers.
