Xbox Live is Fixed. Wait, No It's Not

Kotaku writes:
Major Nelson popped on sometime last night to declare that Xbox Live's connectivity problems had been resolved, then almost immediately was hammered with comments saying in effect, no it hasn't, so he pulled back the all-clear. I know I couldn't connect at all last night, and as of 7:30 am Crecente time I still can't. And, yes, I tested the connection. Oh, the official Xbox Live status? Nonexistent, apparently. See above. (Then again, it does show me as still owning an original Xbox.)

[joebahrjoebahr]

why do people even listen to stupid posts like this? its written by a person with a gow avatar, 23 user ignores, only gives a PSN game tag.

besides that, i played call of duty on line all night and gears of war when i woke up.

this site gets worse and worse,

i think before they start making threads liek this, they should make socom and lbp ones.

EDIT

Panser, sooo a ps3 fanboy has to post it? if you dont see this as flamebait, you should take off the goggles.

[pansenbaer]

SOCOM and LittleBigPlanet have been working fine for just about everybody lately. Obviously Live has been having problems the past couple of days. There were quite the ridiculous amount of threads pertaining to both those games when they launched, but the problem has been fixed. Why would people post about issues with the games when those issues don't exist?

So you're saying someone with a Gears of War avatar with 23 ignores is able to post this without repercussions? Talk about double standards. I'm just saying it has been a problem for people, why can't someone post it?

[poindat]

Um, yeah, he didn't write it. If you would have even clicked the link (which you didn't) you would see that it is from Kotaku, of which the contributer has no affiliation. Your right, this site does get worse and worse... but people like you are the reason.

[plain rice]

The difference is that the rest of PSN were still fine when LBP and Socom had their launch problems. You fail. XBL crashes altogether. Something you didn't realize.

This site is getting worse because people like you think your all high and mighty, thinking they know everything. Please.

[xaviertooth]

thanks man!

[Homicide]

All of this happened, while I was playing on PSN? :D

[nombon]

im confused was live messed up cause ive been playing all day since yesterday and im playing again today and i havent had an issue yet. maybe its cause im in Toronto or something :S

[TheZippo]

yeah it's messed up. I was playing friday and kept getting kicked off. Then Saturday couldn't get online at all and still like that today. Although I can hook up my hard drive to my other xbox and connect that way. So maybe it's just certain 360's.

[BenzMoney]

I'm in the same boat. I've been playing on and off since friday night, and I've never had problems connecting. I was disconnected once on Friday night, but was able to log right back in. Since then - no problems.

...also in Canada.

[stpiio]

I don't have any problems here in Australia.

[Anon1974]

The only saving grace is I only have a XBL silver account. I paid for gold for a couple of years but between XBL outages and faulty consoles I switched to PSN for my online gaming fix and haven't looked back. I don't miss XBL in the slightest. While I was playing Gears 2 on Saturday I was repeatedly booted out of XBL, so apparently the problems hit Canada.

[OSIRUSSS]

Did MS launch the Miivatars yet? Maybe they broke it?

[RedVsBlue]

What does gamers think is going to happen when the PSN gets as many users as live or if it even gets that popular ? Thats right server problems. You guys should hope the PSN does not get as big as Live

[ultimolu]

The problem is that both services have their flaws. One service shouldn't be touted over the other.

[bleachrulez]

so by now we might have 12 million or more

[pansenbaer]

The PSN has roughly the same amount of accounts as the Live has. Keep in mind that anybody with internet can use PSN. Microsoft counts Silver and Gold in their figure and Silver members can't play games. So you take off the 2 to 3 million people that either don't have any form of Live or just have Silver and the PSN is pretty close to that number

[StephanieBBB]

Let me ask you this in return. Who is the one that supports 60 players vs each other in one map? And soon to be 256 vs each other in 09?

I think that the hardware could take it.

[stpiio]

"Who is the one that supports 60 players vs each other in one map?"

lol, have you ever played fuels of war or battlefield 2 on PC. A matter of fact they support 64 player maps.

[aiphanes]

Only the PS3 does...it has a game that support 60 players with no lag...and a 256 player game comming....
