Hey kids, just a reminder that Xbox Live will be down today until 10:00am Pacific time (1:00pm Eastern). It shouldn't be too much of an inconvenience for most gamers, as they will have to contend with the likes of school or work (or perhaps both ... *shudder*). Still, some of us (ahem ... bloggers) are deeply upset by the matter. Just what are gamers with different schedules supposed to do? We suppose we could finally start that Halo needlepoint project we keep stalling ....

It is/was down from 09:00 GMT, according to the message I had from Live (for any Brits reading).
But I'm stuck in in work till 5 anyway so makes no difference for me :o(

You can't even stream video from you're PC or play it from a storage device when Live is down. Why do you have to be signed into Live just to do that? Shouldn't whatever media update that is required already be stored on my hard drive? I'm sorry, but Live should never be down for this long if MS wants it as such an all-encompassing service.

Spring Update possibly?

Better updates and downtime today rather than smoking servers and angry mobs with pitchforks next Tuesday (GTA4).
