24-Hour Maintenence

Post by Ambrose Burnside »

On Tuesday, June 16th from 7:01AM UTC (12:01 AM PST) for up to 24 hours, Xbox Live will be offline for maintenance. As a result, Xbox LIVE and the ‘My Xbox’ section of Xbox.com will be unavailable, and the Xbox forums will be in read only mode (you won’t be able to post.)

The remainder of Xbox.com will be available with limited interruptions.


This service maintenance is to prepare for some of the recently announced features that will be available later this year.


Let me reiterate: When the service returns, you will not have any new functions or features. This is for scheduled maintenance only.

Man, I was playing Castle Crasher with a few mates today and got randomly dropped. When I quit back to the dash no features were available except My Xbox and Friends. Couldn't go to the marketplace at all. An error came up telling me some features won't be available for a short while.

An online service is very different to an MMO, and somehow Steam and PSN seem to have far superior uptimes despite being free.

last time it was down was due to maintenence for NXE which we were notified beforehand. Other times it was down a few hours for the dash updates. It happens 4 times a year and we are told about it... oh noes.

The only actual outage was one christmas when MS weren't expecting as many new users to join up.

I am outraged by this 24 hour outage and in the spirit of Undertow demand a paid-off Lost Planet 2 pre-order. For PS3.

If your Xbox was on you could queue it up now on the Website? I was sure there was something like that I saw for Xbox recently on xbox.com adding d/ls to your profile so when you turned it on at home it started straight away.

Ummm, someone might be at home and you could call them to turn it on? I don't know who you live with. Might live in a crack den for all I know. :D

At least you can remotely turn on a PS3. Bit useless though when you have to A) have a PSP with you and B) it only supports wi-fi.
