Rumor: Xbox Live Gold Members to Get Compensated For Down Time?
by Dylan Duarte on January 2, 2008 at 2:13 am
For anyone who someone isn’t aware, Xbox Live has seen better days. This past week, gamers have been having tremendous trouble using the service, whether it be with matchmaking, lag, or just flat out not being able to go online. Well, if this rumor is correct, we may see a little compensation from Microsoft.
Torrence Davis of The Bitbag was informed by his Microsoft contact that:
“…we will definitely be doing something for our Gold members that weren’t able to get online over the last week.”
I can deal with a few hours of downtime, maybe even a day. I know that nothing is perfect and I trust that Microsoft’s Xbox Live team does whatever they can to keep the service up and running. However, this past week has been ridiculous and I think we justly deserve compensation. Let’s all hope Microsoft delivers.
For those you of that have been more than a little peeved with Live’s performance issues, what do you think would be fair compensation? A refund? MS points? Let me know in the comments section.

I believe just compensation would be to increase your subscription time, be it how ever much it already is, by 1 full month.

i believe Ron is right. i live in Europe, we had our xmas holidays when Xbox Live had and continuous to have issues and those days that i was off work relaxing at home and i couldnt play online…i am a very busy person and this kind of holidays for me are once in a year!
i paid 65 dollars to buy my 12+1 month XBOX LIVE redeem code. because their servers again are down and i cant pay with my visa!
they can put their month or the arcade where they know!
