Xbox Live Down Again

After a week of frustration, ending with a law suit. It seemed XBL was back up. But, now new reports are coming in that XBL is down again. The official Xbox.com site reports that:

Users may experience issues performing transactions dependent on Windows Live ID availability including but not limited to Xbox 360 account creation, renewal, recovery, and logging into or creating Windows Live ID accounts. We are aware of the issue and actively working toward a resolution. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Or in simple English, the service is down again.

Awww it's true..just tried it. I didn't want to approve since it's not a real article though.

Edit: sigh* fine fine...

Mu5afir6616d ago

It's put under news, not article.. why would it be an article?

Relcom6616d ago

He is not a Xbot at all dude. Don't be so quick to judge.

marionz6616d ago

you sony fanboys really are a sour bunch, doesnt take long for you to troll and spread your negativity
whats the point of hating on every xbox article you find? whats the point of calling people xbots and why are people like you so full of hate and spite, the sony fans like you are awefull and im glad i dont know any people that get angry over consoles in real life

this doesnt apply to all the decent sony fans, im a gamer and dont hate any console

I have been playing COD4 all day. Went from Level 10 in my forth Prestige to Level 20, so no, Live is not down. I will admit that it's not been flawless and was hard to get a game going for a few min. here or there but still been fine on my side for the most part.

Snukadaman6616d ago

I dont know if some of you checked but I did temporarily lose some levels on my cod4 games....i was 48 and for some reason it changed too 29th...now everything is back up and normal.

The_Engineer6616d ago

Has anyone else seen the ???'s in your friend's list or recently played with list? Just wondering, cause it looks really sketchy. The virus theory may have something to it...

http://forums.gametrailers....

Can anyone confirm this? I doubt there can be a virus in XBL since it's a closed system.

@Marceles

Yeah, lol.. I guess some people are a little more paranoid then others. xD

@HuntTheWumpus

The Xbox 360 was moded .. Hardware / Software 6 months after it released. Where have you been? But I doubt any code could be passed between the consoles etc.. Again, this isn't my theory or anything. So, stop with the DISAGREES.

Marceles6616d ago

Virus theory? Uh...I'm scared to turn it on now lol, I'll wait until the coast is clear

HuntTheWumpus6616d ago

This isn't a virus. The 360 cannot run unsigned code so in order for someone to be able to execute a virus they would of had to break the security. If that was possible the homebrew scene would already be exploding..

IGNFTW6616d ago

THEY SURE AS HELL BETTER HAVE A GOOD GODDAMN EXPLANATION AS TO WHAT CAUSED IT,WHAT THEY'RE DOING ABOUT IT,HOW MANY MONTHS OF XBOX LIVE THEY'RE GOING TO THROW IN FOR F-R-E-E,AND MUCH MUCH MORE

gta_cb6616d ago

i havnt personally had the ???? on my friends names, BUT when i checked the leaderboards on COD4 they were showing as ????

also COD4 has been extremely bad 2night for me and all my friends i was trying to play with so i decided to play another game like gears. so i put in the DVD disc and it required an update.... error came up everytime i tried to update a game... :(

gta_cb6615d ago

whoever the two people are who disagreed actually reply and say why pls, because i know i AM telling the TRUTH i have NO reason to lie about it, i love playing my Xbox 360 i think its an amazing console, BUT these problems i said i had DID happen, but i FINALLY managed to get my mate into a private match on COD4 and stayed playing against eachother and doing those funny glitches on hardcore mode until about 3am, then we quickly tried joining an XboxLIVE game and it worked fine.... so i dont know what has been happening but i did have problems so if your going to disagree then at least say why.

lawgone6615d ago

I bubbled you up. I'm tired of people disagreeing with people when they're just stating their recent experience. I myself haven't had any problems but I haven't played in a couple days as I've been working.

gta_cb6615d ago

thanks mate, yeah i only said what has happened to me so maybe it can be of some use to people who dont know whats going on.

also another thing that kept happening to my mate last night is that although we could still hear each other due to being on Private Chat our xbox 360s kepy freezing for a min or two when we clicked to go on a private match or back to XboxLIVE match (this was on COD4) but everyone should read the update at the top of the page, says its back up 2day :)

im on XBl right now and its working fine. so how is it down i also have 15 people on my buddy list playing different games.

lol people disagree with me because this news story is bullshit

my gamertag is working i dont see a "?"

i just got into a game. and it says there are 52k people online playing the game also. and 3 people on my buddy list are playing

Edit just finished playing a game heres the list of people who were in the room.

so like i was saying the topic started is bullshitting

Marceles6616d ago

Yeah, the site shows every is working except my gamertag has the silhouette with a "?"

Mu5afir6616d ago

I have been reading multiple reports, and have reconfirmed with the official Xbox.com site. A lot of games are down, some XBL Arcade games seem to be working. But, the majority of the services are down. Try playing CoD4, if you have it.

Daishi6616d ago

Seems good on my end, 11 friends online and no ???. I'm on the East cost, where do those of you experiencing problems reside?

gta_cb6615d ago

i was having problems late last night although i havnt tried it today as i havnt had a chance. i live east side of the UK

"Bethesda Pinball" for "Pinball FX" Review \\ paulsemel

A critical look at the "DOOM," "Skyrim," and "Fallout" tables in the new version of this virtual pinball game.

needs some Wonder Woman :P

beerhound5d ago

I would prefer a "Starfield" one.

DefenderOfDoom24d ago (Edited 4d ago )

These are the same Bethesda tables from FX3 now upgraded for VR . I bought this Bethesda pack for Pinball FX3 around 5 years ago. But when the new Pinball FX came out a few years ago , they wanted me to buy the same tables again, which is ridiculous .

Seven cancelled racing video games that could have been great

From a fourth Project CARS to a Dakar-style open-world racer that set the template for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Here are seven racing games that didn’t quite make it.

Agent7515d ago

Blur was decent, although the control system could've been better, Blur 2 in the video looks good. Project Cars was massively overrated and full of bugs, Dirt 3 yes, a new Dirt Rally no, rally games have passed me by. Project Gotham Racing 5, Ridge Racer 8, Wave Race 4, Crash Team Racing 2 are up there. Ridge Racer Unbounded had everything apart from the gameplay, there was also Split Second which was decent, the Burnout series became boring as with rally and F1 games. A new Wipeout is due, also F-Zero. I wouldn't say no to Outrun 2 on current consoles as long as it includes the exclusive Xbox tracks, then Outrun 3. Wipeout VR on the PS4 was awesome, that's due a sequel. I remember Buggy Boy on the Commodore 64 and Spectrum, that'll never see a sequel. The likes of Turismo and Forza have become boring. Forza Horizon not so much. Road Rash and Super Hang on 2 others. Chase HQ has never gained legendary status on any console.

Storm2315d ago

I would do anything for a MotorStorm on PS5. Or just the trilogy in 4k/60. RIP Evolution.

darthv7215d ago

Evolution did good on those games... but we don't need them for a trilogy remaster. It can be done by Sony's master of remasters: Bluepoint.

Storm2315d ago (Edited 15d ago )

For sure. I don't even think it would need that talented of a studio. Upping the resolution and framerate would be all that's needed. Of course I would take the trilogy with a complete overhaul on the graphics, but upping the rez and framerate (and some great AA) would easily be enough for me.

If you already own it... There, I saved you the click on a deliberately misleading article.

DivineHand12519d ago

I bought the game yesterday on steam for $4 because Square Enix is trying to replace it with a version that has no mod support.

Prior to yesterday, I had no idea the game had so many great mods until people started making a fuss out of it.

Knightofelemia19d ago

I wish Square would port other old games to newer systems I want Xenogears.

gold_drake18d ago

lol.
