They say its just for maintenance, but really, with the Halo 3 beta, and this this supposedly "surprising" dash update, are you buying it? I'm hoping its actually for the dash update, and they said it's maintenance as an...early April fools joke. What about you guys? Because IIRC the last time XBL was down for maintenance, it wasnt for 14 hours. Tell me what you guys think!

I don't really care as long as it doesn't happen too often.

I think the update is just to put some new servers in to cope with the demand. Im not fussed at all with the down time.. its not like i dont have anything else to do.

System patch/update! WOOT! I knew about the 14 hours turn off thing but I think the patch/update is in April/MAy when the new 360 comes out.

Also, as long as it doesn't cause any crashes like the new Oblivion patch I think I'll be fine.

The server team at XboxLive are going to spread out all the money on the floor and roll in it.

 

Probably adding and syncing some servers, could be in prep for XboxTV and the like.

If you can't go without XBL for 14 hours you have a problem. It is most likely maintainance...nothing more.

It doesn't effect me because I'll be in school, so if they update it, cool, if not, oh well. ad the Halo 3 beta thing sounds iffy, but possible, it'd be awesome if they did that.

Hopefully they can sort out the horrific amount of lag involved when friends sign in

 oh and, sort out Gears so it doesn't just break everytime you try and go online

I'm sure they will upload Shivering Isles to the Marketplace while Live is down, since that is supposed to be released tomorrow

On Major Nelson's show he said the maintenance is to prepare their servers for the spring update.  We won't get the update for a few months though.
