Lol there is huge difference. Xbox Live did not go for several hours... This is what mitigation is and Microsoft infrastructure is able to do it.
Was playing all the afternoon/evening and I did not even noticed it.

This. The thread is smaller because 1. there are less Xbox people here and 2. it didn't affect seemingly a single person here, assuming there was even an issue at all. Compared to hours and hours of downtime.

Of course, nothing happened. No issues whatsoever.

Ive had no issues, I was on all last night, but XBL status says there is a problem with Diablo.  Whether that is a launch problem or DDoS, idk.  Maybe its just not a widespread issue, or maybe its secluded to diablo, i havent heard anything on it, or effected by it, so idk.

these hackers did UK gamers a favor, its a national bank holiday here in the UK and thanks to PSN getting hacked (or what ever you want to call it) Sony has delayed the maintenance planned for PSN today, while fan boy's can make their jokes the fact that thousands of playstation gamers in the UK can play online without any disruption is a pretty major bonus to those that have the day off work especially during the bank holiday with such crappy weather!

Even if they try I think they can barely do it on Wii U, Nintendo is so obsessed with security and piracy, that it's more probable Nintendo owners suffers from insufficient Network infrastructures or Nature attack on servers location than DDoS attacks.

PS: sorry for bad english XD

I've been playing diablo online...

I am playing it in single player though but isn't diablo always online like on pc? It's been updating my save on the battle.net servers.

Perhaps only us servers were targeted?

Seems some people apparently had some Diablo issues. Battle.net was attacked too, probably related to that. Nothing XBL related. I was also on Diablo a lot yesterday. Did kill two nemesis enemies from friend's games but was playing solo. Per usual, any "issues" were extremely hit or miss. Some are comparing it to the PSN attack, quite a stretch.

The problem isn't just Battle.net related. The XBox Live Status page is quite clear on that. Even if the issue isn't as wide spread as on Sony's side, some are quick to act as if there are no issues at all. Despite MS indicating the issues on their own site.

True, the page says the PBS app is experiencing difficulties. Damn you Broken Lizard!
