Doesn't sound good?

[maawdawg]

They are adding Cloud saves to XBL so it likely has to do with that.

[TheDareDevil]

I was just playing Reach and the Homefront MP demo like 10 minutes ago. No problems for me.

[Paradicia]

No problems on my end :)

[captain-obvious]

im sure its something else

[captain-obvious]

then WTF is this ?
http://n4g.com/news/799724/...

anyway im sorry
i was wrong

[Ron_Danger]

Just wondering...

Does Microsoft give you guys a heads up in an email or xbl message if there's gonna be maintenance?? Sony doesn't for us and I'm starting to wonder why they don't gives us the heads up... Considdering server maintenance usually is usually planned... I've gotten emails from developers in the past (Zipper Interactive) and it saved me a headache...
It's would take Sony or Microsoft 2 minutes to have an intern write up an email and then 2 seconds to click send all... That little effort would save all us paying gamers the frustration of waiting in the dark

[mendicant]

@Ron,

You get both.

[subtenko]

PS3 already had cloud storage so M$ sooner or later was gonna add it on xbox360

[JellyJelly]

@subtenko - Give it a rest, dude. It's not like Sony were the first company in the world to use cloud storage and it's not like Sony's never taken ideas from Microsoft (achievements - trophies, guide button on the controller, built-in harddrive etc).

[Vaud-Villian]

Sony's micromanaging approach is fail. Rather have access without copy, save, import, repeat

[Anon1974]

Ugh. What is it with N4G and network maintenance? If it's the PSN going down you get "That's what you get! It's free", if it's XBL going down it's "Oh, well they're adding new stuff."

Frankly, unless it's an outage that lasts more than a couple of days - I don't think we need an article about it..

@bmw69

The title doesn't sound good, it's used to get more attention and moar hits :P

[S_C]

Playing Onling Right Now, No Problem At All

[4D]

Please give it a rest already. Your conspiracy theories are old and played out. This is N4G. There were news articles today for both PSN and XBL being down. Apparently both services had legitimate reasons for being taken down and are both back up and functioning. Take a deep breath and relax. Crisis averted...

[M-A-R-S-H-A-L-L]

You're just annoyed that he has a point. :)

[kerky]

Bad Times :(

[KING_KAI]

hahah it isnt effecting most i dont think but i cant sign in :(

[aviator189]

It's back to "up and running." And they were supposedly rolling out the cloud service for users so it could have been just maintenance.

[XRider]

I'm watching "NOVA's Making Stuff" on Netflix over Live right now. http://support.xbox.com/en-... nothing wrong. I think someone got the icons confused :)

[Dorwrath]

LOL, what. Seems fine to me, says up and running.

[jaymart]

Where's my Welcome Back Games?

Just joking by the way.

[Ron_Danger]

It's with our cross-game-chat...

See, some PS3 fanboys can take a joke

cheers!

[r21]

i see nothing.... cheers :D

[Ron_Danger]

I'm confused now... Why the disagrees? Are you disagreeing that I can take a joke?
They really have to change how this site works... You should need to leave a comment in order to even hit disagree... Too many stealth cowards out there

A disagree on this comment already?! I must have a secret admirer...

[SNEEKZ0NER]

@Ron some people disagree with you even more if you ask why they disagree with you. Just let it be. On topic my live is working just fine it hasn't been down for me at all.

[vyke2]

Really? i thought its with our web browser. =P

[fr0sty]

It'll come in the form of a price increase later this year. :P

[Legion]

@Ron_Danger

Though I didn't disagree with your remark that some PS3 Fanboys can take a joke. I will disagree with your not being able to accept a disagree on a post. Get a little thick skin and get over it.

[MasterCornholio]

I disagree with you because you faked the whole adam and eve thing plus you screwed a one eyed mutant in front of a satellite called Viginy.

Hows that?

BTW i was making fun of your avatar.

(Delete article)

[MachoMoustachio]

Why would the service go into alert mode for cloud service?

[Ron_Danger]

The service didn't... The fanboys did...

[ASSASSYN 36o]

Lmao +1 bubble deployed!

[KING_KAI]

hahha true that +1 bubble

[KING_KAI]

iv been resetting my BT homehub 3.0 for the last 20 minutes trying to get this b*asterd thing to work. i was playing dbz raging blast 2 then BAM there it is,'unable to connect to xbox live'. but atleast its a reasonable reason i suppose.

[Legion]

I think the disagrees are for your choice of playing any Dragon Ball game... or maybe just the fact that you are admitting it in public?

[AngelicIceDiamond]

I'll check it out later.

[thespaz]

HACKERS!!!!!

[whoatemycuponoodles]

[likedamaster]
