Xbox Live Having Issues...

For some reason, no one is posting this here so I figured I would fan the flames considering people jump on Sony's ass at the smallest PSN issue.

Please link for me. I'm on mobile and can't.

Can anyone confirm or deny these issues occurring to them?

The xbox live subscription is easily the most stupid purchase in the history of gaming.

Seriously?

Multi-day outages are "small" issues?

@foxhound_fox: That was once and the shit they got was deserved. I'm pretty sure you knew exactly what I was referring too in the post. Don't be stupid.

You're calling him stupid? You posted this sh**.

@hrt_rulz01: lol. You're so predictable.

Must be part of the budget cuts

no issues for me. i've been logged in all day though. my games work fine though. just played some madden and smite

Yeah you got me... I like calling out bullsh** :)

@kangarbloodyroo: Oh look a new alt has appeared, go back in the bush skip.

Is live down? I wouldn't know as just like the OP i'm at work not working lol

I really didn't know what you were referring to. The only problems with PSN I remember were complete service interruptions, and it happened more than once if memory serves correctly.

Meh. Does it suck when this happens? Sure. However in my 11 plus years of being a subscriber to Xbox Live I've had extremely few issues with it. They fix it and I'll survive. Still wouldn't mind some kind of freebie for the trouble. Wink, wink.

Suppose I'll find out when I try to play some Overwatch later.

FM6 Apex works on my laptop.

So...people automatically attack the OP, divert to pointing the finger at Sony talkng about an incident that happened last generation, but not one poster so far has actually confirmed if what the OP has reported is false or not?

Is this the supposed "lemming" effect that people refer to when talking about xbox fans?

@lexxluger: Put your Xbox on and have a look for us lex.

Didn't have any issues

I had a problem launching the youtube app, everything else fine on my end. They are working on tweaking the new UI for Alpha insider testers, maybe that is part of the issue, I know they were going to make some changes soon.

The UIs do get better every time, but part of me says just pick something and stick to it.

Xbox works fine for me, no issues here. Also, I'm surprised you didn't post back in your other topic with the whole "Sony Exclusive" "Sony's answer to the inevitable Halo 6"...lmfao. That was the funniest thing I've seen all week...

Also, if you scroll up, you'll notice Mems & Ron reported no issues :)

Ahh, the joys of paying to play online and still having lousy service. Good game, consoles; you definitely pulled a fast one on millions of people. Not that that's hard.

I rarely ever have problems with Xbox Live so this comes as a surprise. Hopefully whatever issues it is experiencing will be fixed soon.

That would be nice. Maybe even a credit to my XBL account as a way of saying "hey, sorry about that."

Wait, wait, wait, with XBLG you can play games online? :o

Sum biatch, all this time I thought it was for the 4 awesome GWG games I get every month. Well now, I almost feel guilty paying so little and receiving so much. Thank you MS..Jazz. :P

Well MS finally realized it cant catch current gen 8 console leader SONY and the avalanche of world class excluives for PS4, so they have begun to scale back.

Makes sense.

I ran into issues after work, couldn't access cloud saves for XB1 games but could for Xbox 360 games so I played Xbox 360 games for an hour and then when I checked my XB1 games it was working again.

Anyhow, checked the Xbox support Twitter last night and it was legit out, but from my end it was brief.

I have similar feelings w/ PS+. Have had it for years now, and aside form that big fiasco a few years back, haven't had any issues -- but would love some freebies out of these "reported" issues.

But lets be real here bro, I could tweet "Xbox has officially closed up business says insider" and a portion of this place will make 7 threads cheering about it as if the existence of that console walked into their house and raped their mothers.

Makes sense. With the recent news of MS cutting off the Xbox division from the warchest they can't afford to keep many servers up anymore.

@cainetao11: ahhahahah oh brother. Yep.

@cainetao11: Yep... sadly you're correct. I've never seen such hate for a gaming company or console, I don't think. Even early last gen with PS3 wasn't as bad. It's getting ridiculous.

Sad thing it's probably only a few people with alt accounts.

@NathanDrakeSwag: Not news, a blatant lie by a twitter user that is a fanboy that posts NPD reports to rub it in Xbox fans faces. No way in hell the small amount of people with access to the "Warchest" would ever say anything to anyone, least of all that guy. He got attention and probably gained some followers but was Quickly denied by Phil Spencer on twitter.

@hrt_rulz01 I don't get it either. Ive never seen Xbox or Nintendo fanboys petition to prevent games being on other platforms. The audacity to try and tell a company that has employees and bills to pay to forego the chance at more sales of a product for what? Sony fanboy praise? Its a low I've seen no other group drop to. And I know Xbox fanboys can be real idiots, even Nintendo ones do at times.

LOL dude he got you with that bait.

Pretty sure PSN criticism had to do with the frequency with which it occured

TC is not the most reasonable or level headed

@drlostrib: Right... because you actually know me.

Yep... very true.

PSN is currently having issues LMAO

@cainetao11: lmao

Nathnadrake about to have another meltdown

Probably flip flop to another faction LOL

LMFAO talk about Karma.
