I went through it. It wasn't too bad. Sometimes I had to sign in mid-game. That's about it. I think it was worse for certain games, though. I got my free copy of Undertow, though!

It's very nice to hear that from MS. They experienced and outage themselves, too - I believe this is meant honestly.

The problem is he never cares to respond to anything which makes me wonder what he's trying to accomplish(?)

Its really lame bro. (probably he'll never even read this)

He's just spreading 360 related news. As an owner of a 360 I like to keep up with the system and he has been useful to me by doing a pretty good job on keeping me up to date. I don't agree with all his posts (some really are just there to flame one thing or another) but the informative ones are nice.

If it weren't for him the 360 section really would be dead.

That is true. I check most of his threads out to be honest :)

Yeah, sure. Microsoft is taking no joy in all of that, I am not buying it. I bet they are laughing their asses off behind closed doors. Those arrogant pricks.

Leave it to you to say somethng like that.

I got a free copy of Undertow for that as well. They made it a free download for 2 weeks following the entire ordeal... I played it for 8 minutes and deleted it.

So Microsoft basically added insult to injury back then. Xbox Live down and to "make up" for it they gave away a bad game.

Actuually, Undertow was highly rated at the time........and I tooo have only played it for around five minutes (had no idea what the object of the game was). So, yeah. You're right!

Nice comment. Sure they are happy to get more users online but that doesnt necessarily = they are happy Sony is having trouble.
