Woobie One of the reasons I'm going to PC gaming come this fall.

So you're going to spend $1,000 dollars just because Xbox Live went down for a couple of hours?

Xbox Live is always having problems nowadays. Also, PC gaming is much better than console.

ME0W Live seems to be having a lot of issues lately.

Not as major as ps3 going offline for months XD

any way i didn't even get effected by this

Yeah but Xbox is a paid service.
Exactly, every time Xbox Live has issues it's like people feel insecure and just start talking about what happened to PSN, but then say "Oh we pay for XBL that's why it's better" but this is like the fourth time i've seen XBL having issues in the news.

Well that may be true but just last month PSN had problems to. It happens. All internet services have problems especially the big ones.

and it only happened once xbox has been down Several times lately and like others say you have to pay even when its down.

I dont mind paying for a couple of hours of Xbox Live being down. Anybody who does must be a real cheap ass, I would be more mad if Xbox Live went down for 2 months and not paying more than it being down for 2 hours and paying.
