"Xbox LIVE will be unavailable for approximate 4 hours on September 10th 2007 to upgrade the service starting: 02:01 PDT, 09:01 GMT and 18:01 GMT+9. See xbox.com for more information"
We advise preparing some sort of replacement activity now, because when Monday rolls around and you find your Xbox Live down you may be left twiddling your thumbs. And know that thumb twiddling gets boring real quick ... you've been warned.
[Thanks, xenocidic]

My guess is they're upgrading their server so that they don't have any problems when Halo3 releases...it'll be a lot of server strain...

i hear some how there is gonna be a timer for all the kids so they cant play gears of war at 4am in the morning and how there is gonna be able to play divx files but sounds like rumors
as the chat pad is relised this week they need to update so i dont have a gay ass gray bar on the side of the screen and it pops up like a achivement or when some one is online
and make the market place media in europe so we can download shit on our elites
i do hope the divx comes out tho that would be cool coz my would be able to play alot of stuff off my pc :)

So which site has the "Dead Pool" regarding how long the update will ACTUALLY take?
I am in for 6.3 hours.
I am SOOO glad that I do not have a refurb xbox, or the 120GB HD...not being able to access downloaded content while they continuously hose their updates would suck!!!!

Yeah I gotta agree its about time Europe got the Video Marketplace in full. I was gutted last week when we didnt even get treated to the 1st episode of Heroes for free. I think If I saw that Id be way more interested in buying the HD add-on drive.
