2. No wonder I kept getting an MTU error.
It said to check xbox.com, which is down.
Can't they announce these so I dont have to check major nelson every day? (Or reconfigure my wireles network!!)

4. @ #2:

I received an email, a message through Xbox Live, saw on Xbox.com and on Major Nelson about the down time. How did you miss it?!

5. In the official downtime article, in the list of the "top 10 things to do on March 27", at #6 ("Study up on some March 27 History"), there are 4 things listed. The THIRD mentions an earthquake that killed 117 people.

For those dozen of you who don't know, Master Chief's code name is SPARTAN 117

7. I think it's something big because it is late and lets face it how hard is it to turn the servers on when you say your going to turn them on.

8. Is anyone else having the problem of a failed MTU test. Because that is the only reason on why i cant get on.

Anyone know how to fix it if it doesnt have to do with the maintenence test?

9. The thing to keep in mind is that this downtime occurs pretty much before every update. It's par for the course. It's in preparation for the next six months. I wouldn't expect anything fantastic to occur today.

10. Speculation be damned, what happens will happen. And all I know is that if I get an E-Mail from Microsoft with my download code in the next 2 hours for the Halo 3 Beta I will cream myself.

I'll also have to tell my girlfriend that we won't be seeing each other this month and I'll have to quit my job and school.

11. I'm not really sure about the halo 3 thing. I wish it was true but I don't Know. And I am getting the MTU thing also so it is normal. Does anyone know when live is sopposed to be up?

13. We can only hope.

14. Hmm, some of you may need an intervention. Gaming addiction is a very real and very disabling condition. Going without Live for one day is not a catastrohpic event and-

Did you say the Halo 3 beta might be coming out soon?!?!?? YES!

18. the latest crackdown patch put advertisements for the movie 'shooter' starring mark wahlberg on billboards across the city.

19. Live should have been up nearly an hour ago.

20. Usually, Live downtime happens during the night only for a few hours in order to fix a few bugs here and there. But when it is down for over 15 hours, then you know that something big is about to happen.
