Xbox Not So Live Today

by Rangebar Merani on June 16, 2009 at 10:58 am

xbox-liveSo I was playing Call of Duty: World at War last night over Xbox Live and all of a sudden I’m booted not only out of the lobby, but entirely off Xbox Live. I’m like WTF? Well, seems as if Microsoft felt the need to interrupt my fun to work on updates that will make for an easier transition to a newer Xbox experience complete with Facebook, Twitter, and Last.fm.

Okay that’s all cool with me, but on a night when it’s double experience points for World at War? That’s whack and it’s even more whack that Xbox Live will be down all day today until midnite. No Xbox Live gaming for today me, guess I might hop on my PS3 and play some Killzone 2, maybe SOCOM? Or I could possibly hit up my Wii for some Punch-Out!!?

    It's been planned for awhile, so you, as a contributor to a video game blog, shouldn't have really been surprised.

    I understand that they need the option to do this, however they should offer a second chance to the fair players =
