imgur This is a shame, its really damaging Xbox's reputation.


How are you going to say that? This isnt even as bad as sonys being down for 2 months that should have brought their rep down a lot more than this


I prefer MS, but stop being a fanboy, this is tarnishing their rep.


how? honestly you are stupid if you think something can run 24/7 365 days a year without a glitch, your a moron at least they fix it asap


I know they're going to fix this, but you honestly don't think Sony fanboys Will let this go? No, now MS is always down too. That's what i'm referring to... Quit jumping to conclusions. I'm not stupid, but I'm not sure you can read.



"This is a shame, its really damaging Xbox's reputation." Really? Xbox Live isn't down, it's only the messages. It's not damaging their rep at all, XBL is almost never down compared to the PS3...


Actually no. You can't send invites or messages but some people can't get on at all. My friend just got kicked off randomly, too.

I think if you're signed in before Xbox started having problems it wont affect you because nothing is happening to me.

I literally was on the guide and it said I had 16 friends online. Like 10 minutes later, it said I had I had 5 friends online. I thought nothing of it and turned off the XBox to go to bed. I play on the computer and say topics talking about XBox acting up. I found out that XBox is acting up. So I turned it back on and sure enough, everything that everyone is saying is true. But I can sign in to XBL.
