November 2006 update[edit]
An update patch released on November 1, 2006 was reported to "brick" consoles, rendering them useless.[72] The most obvious issue occurs after the installation of the patch, after which the console immediately reboots and shows an error message. Usually, error code E71 is shown during or directly after the booting animation.
In response to the November 2006 update error that "bricked" his console, a California man filed a class action lawsuit against Microsoft in Washington federal court in early December 2006.[73] The lawsuit seeks $5 million in damages and the free repair of any console rendered unusable by the update. This is the second such lawsuit filed against Microsoft, the first having been filed in December 2005, shortly after the 360's launch.
Following Microsoft's extension of the Xbox 360 warranty to a full year, from the previous 90 days, the California man's attorney confirmed to the Seattle Post Intelligence that the lawsuit had been resolved under confidential terms.[74]


lol.

It would just continue offline? Would it not?


Yes, but it wouldn't save on the leaderboard.


I was playing zombies solo and it disconnected me and kicked me out of the game! -_-
