Reminder: Xbox Live is down for maintenance

This is no April Fools' joke, as of about thirty minutes ago both Xbox Live and the "My Xbox" section of Xbox.com are down, undergoing routine maintenance. But you already knew that didn't you? Maintenance is scheduled to last from 5:00-8:00AM eastern (that's 2:00-5:00AM pacific), so you only have a few hours to wait before pwnage can resume. Or so that's what is planned. And for the conspiracy theorists among us you need not start theorizing. We've already been told that no new features will be implemented and no Spring update will be sprung upon us. This is just simple, boring Xbox Live maintenance. Now go read a book until the clock strikes eight.

I am not home, but I just checked and 2 of my friends are playing CoD4 online, so both My Xbox, and Xbox Live are working in the UK.

They're no doubt getting ready for the upcoming GTA IV onslaught. Let's hope LIVE stands up well with GTA IV as it will be compared to the PSN during the biggest game of the year.
