But yeah, at that moment, I may have overreacted by bitching at them, but I still feel the same way about it. And honestly, Ive been over Xbox for a few months now, they aren't bringing anything new to the table and it's just boring...

Ummm SOCOM II? I remember you were -Bibidi- :D.

Ok, now Im talking to an actual person, and here's how that goes;

*In a towel-head accent* "Hello, this Jeremy, how may I help you today?

Me; Uh, yeah, hi. For the past 3 days XBL has been acting really ****ing stupid and I want an answer as to when it's going to be fixed*yes, I said ****ing*

Jeremy; I am sorry sir, I cannot give out such information, because we don't actually know what the problem is.

Me; That's ******** because the recording that comes on when you first call says that you know exactly what's going on.

Jeremy; Yes sir, I am aware that is says that.

Me; So what's the ****ing problem?

Jeremy; We are told that it's because of the increase of XBL users over the holiday, and it will be repaired shortly.

Me; You said that 3 days ago.

Jeremy; Yes sir, I know. I am sorry it is taking longer that expected, butt please know that it will be fixed shortly.

Me; What the **** ever, thanks..i guess, bye.

Jeremy; Glad I could help you, sir.

And that's the end. I swear, if it's not fixed by the end of the night, I quit. XBL has been flawless since the first day I got it, and now it wants to act like a ****ing retard because new members got on? That's ********. Something is going on behind the scenes that they don't want use to know. ****ers.

Glad to see ya spent new years eve pissed off at your online gaming service. ;)

Well a good brew would have had made that headache go away until the next morning.


On a side note, is it any better today. I've barely even gotten to play COD4...

[Marvin Wong]

Nope. I see 0/0 players and each time I press on Xbox Live mode or any kind that uses the connection, it froze. This is outrageous.

This is what was going wrong when we tried to get into a room. Everything is freezing anymore, even the damn Blades and especially when you send an invite or go to accept one, it either freezes or goes into extreme slug mode.

I don't believe so.

But MS did apologize

Dear Xbox LIVE Members:

During this past holiday season you helped us break a number of Xbox LIVE records. This included our largest sign-up of new members to Xbox LIVE in our 5 year history and just yesterday you broke the record for the single biggest day of concurrent members ever on the service.

As a result of this massive increase in usage we know that some of you experienced intermittent Xbox LIVE issues over the holiday break. While the service was not completely offline at any given time, we are disappointed in our performance. I would like to take this moment to thank you each and every one of you for your patience and understanding as our team has worked around the clock to return the service to a stable state.

At the same time we would like to offer a token of our appreciation to all of you in celebration of record success for the service. And as a thank you for your loyalty during this holiday period, we will be offering all of our Xbox LIVE members around the world access to a full Xbox LIVE Arcade game that will be available to download free of charge. In the coming weeks we will be sharing the specific details of this offer with you.

Thank you again for helping make Xbox LIVE everything that it is today!

Sincerely,
Marc Whitten
General Manager, Xbox LIVE

Oh well...pretty much not an apology, but more of a bragging message. Either way, they are giving everyone a free arcade game. It is probably a ****** one, so don't get your hopes up.
