Xbox LIVE is Going Down… Temporarily
by Dan Landis on September 23, 2008 at 5:35 pm
Come Monday, September 29th, Xbox LIVE is shutting down for a full 24 hours. Starting promptly at midnight, everything related to the LIVE service, including a lot of the features on Xbox.com, will be unavailable as Microsoft prepares you for “the cool new stuff coming your way in the new Xbox experience”.
Funny thing is, didn’t Xbox LIVE go down not too long ago for the exact same reason while also not adding anything noticable to the service during its unwanted vacation? I’m no technical genius (except for when I’m talking to people that don’t know any better), but what exactly does “preparing Xbox LIVE for an update” really mean?
Don’t they have, like, a practice server to try stuff out on? And if so, how long does it really take to transfer that stuff? What do you think? What the hell is Microsoft doing during this downtime? My guess: porn (it’s always the answer).
