MS lied about the failrate of the 360 in public statements I wouldn't be surprised if they were covering up a hack seeing how much revenue they get from live

Even if they pulled a sony and didn't tell anyone, there is noway they would keep xbox live up and running if a breach had occurred. That would just be crazy.

Sony did tell people... Someone is biased and if MS was covering it up taking the network down is the last thing they'd do 

Microsoft is not gonna allow hackers full access to their network just because they want to cover it up. If the hackers got in then there is a security hole and microsoft will take the network down to avoid further damage. It has nothing to do with bias, thats just what any company would do. (same thing that sony did).

MS took  like 5 years to completely and properly redesign the 360 to get rid of it's insanely high failrate so I sincerely doubt they'd shut down to fix their network especially since they get money from it, they'd proabably just try to patch it without taking it down until their schedualed maintainance (which isn't that far away I believe)

You can't compare the failure rate to network hacking. With the failure rate the ball was in MS court to fix or not fix it, if hackers get access to xbox live then microsoft would have lost control. If someone steals you're credit card are you just going to wait for a new one or are you going to tell the bank to cut it off in order to avoid any further loss? Microsoft is not going to leave an unsecure network open while creating a patch, thats crazy talk. The amount of money they'd lose trying to save face would be much worse than if they just took it down.
