Right.. Xbox live was fine a few days ago. Then we had this "Update".

Now when I search a game on anything I either get "Unable to join" or it freezes and lags me out.

Everytime these smackheads try an update something goes wrong.

fairly new to the 360?

in my experience this is usually what happens after any of their updating or maintanence. usually don't notice any improvements, and have a lot of problems.

Ive had xbox 360 for about.. 2-3years xD

They've robbed me around £1,000.. Just for replacements.. And I do know about the updates and stuff crashing. but.. it freezes every 5 minutes.

I'm also a pc gamer, MMO player in wow.. server resets and updates are a pretty normal thing.. at least that is what I figured was common knowledge during updates and patching... problems can happen and unforeseen downtime can arise. Should i too turn into a raving idiot about "omg I pay 4$ a month for this!!!" Anyone ever actually run just ONE server for a game? If so you probably have been laughing like I do at such silly threads ^.^

You guys need to calm down. They just did huge maitnance on the servers, they need time to adjust. Its not going to work perfecly right away. Why dont you try doing something else like hanging out with your friends rather then sit on ur xbox 24/7

Its funny, because last time I remember the service going out over the holidays everyone was entitled to a free game for it. So I wonder if we'll see anything for it if this isn't fixed soon. http://games.slashdot.org/games/08/01/06/1429221.shtml Granted we expected the day to be down from the update, but it does get frustrating to not be able to play on the few days I have off.

I have 360 since + of 2 years, i love this console, but M$ is a BIG PILE OF SH**!! U have to pay to play live, and always have problems! Every time that freezes, they are STOLEN YOUR MONEY!! Some of the DLC are very expensive, and more than once my saves as been corrupted because of them! :evil:MadnusXXL

Jesus Christ, you people act like itsthe end of the worst when Live is down for a few hours/1 day. They are giving you a whole new interface and everything for FREE!!!!!!!!!! Be appreciative!!!!!

Not that I'm complaining about paying, because I don't mind at all. But let's not fool ourselves by calling it free.

I just got home from school and I turned on my Xbox and I also have no LIVE. I did the Test Connection thing and it says that XBL was connected so then I try to sign in and it fails, do the test connection thing again and it says XBL failed.

LOL, who seriously would pay for a interface anyways? Of course those are free, that's like saying you should be happy you get bug fixes for your game! It's nonsense nobody asked for a new interface and we most certainly didn't ask for our service we pay for to be interrupted.

I lol'ed in my pants when I read this.

Huge maintanence is a laugh. They didn't do anything. When the new dashboard comes, then you can call it a "huge maintanence". Until then, I will keep loling.

yea they are giving us a new interface. but you know what, i'm happy with the one we've got now. i could care less about avatars, they seem like a silly gimmick to compete with the miis and home. if i were to add all the days that live has been down since i got a 360 i would get about a month of time i couldn't play because they had the servers down. that is flat out stupid when we pay the equivalent of a game a year for it. i'd much rather spend that 50 bucks to buy a new game instead of a service that frankly isn't any better than the free service offered by ps3 when it comes to just playing games online.

.. i know its only $5 a month, but we still are paying for it. By new years it will reach one month of downtime, adding with it last holidays seasons problems. MY MAIN PROBLEM IS, while my xbox wasn't able to connect to live, i could only play 2 of the 24 arcade games(hexic + duke nukem3d) I PAID FOR AND APPARENTLY OWN. all the others reverted to "trial versions", even braid did not work. ALSO i could no longer stream media to my xbox, as it said "media update required", which i had already downloaded months ago when it came out.

PS: most of the themes that i have did not work either. DOES THIS NOT BOTHER ANYONE THAT WE CANNOT USE THE GAMES WE PAY FOR IF NOT CONNECTED TO LIVE??? this is ABSURD!!! I for one, will NEVER pay to download anything again. This is lame.

Yeah live is down. whatever. dont you wish you were allowed to play the arcade games you bought?? you're an idiot my friend for swallowing all this corporate hyperbole. You pay for these games, you should be able to play them while NOT connected to live.

ps: nice Profile picture, it suits you.. Let me guess hes still alive somewhere on an island in the pacific?? with elvis and biggie and buddy holly and the big bopper, john lennon... kinda trailing on, you get the idea

I can play all of my arcade games without being connected to live. Learn something before speaking. Transfer your license... Not that hard.
