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?

Funny, just finished playing COD4 on Live.

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!

sweet, gamer chicks!!

But this is disgraceful, 40 a year and it goes down all the time.

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!
 

I am also struggling with xboxlive, takes ages to connect but friend down road has no problems. I am in Burnley by the way. :erm:

Re: Down with the Live-ness!
 

My friend and I were playing about an hour ago with no problems :confused:
(btw it was in my friends' house who has 4meg BB)

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.

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.

Re: Down with the Live-ness!
 

Live has been fine for me :)

Re: Down with the Live-ness!
 

Sure. Cant get her off the thing most of the time... and its my friggin computer, apparently! :P

Re: Down with the Live-ness!
 

On-line last night and got a couple of disconnections from xbox live, messenger still doesn't work and a slow load up for the system blades, friends lists etc etc etc
