Xbox Live's Major Nelson

Xbox LIVE Status (Updated)

You may have noticed that the LIVE service has been having a few issues over the past few days. This includes things like signing in, matchmaking and account recovery. Not everyone has had problems, but I know some of you have and I wanted to give you and update. While the service was never completely offline, problems like this are not acceptable. The entire LIVE team has been working day and night to ensure that you can have a great LIVE experience. While we’re not done yet, I wanted to let you know that things are getting better each hour and that no one on the team is going anywhere until the job is done. Thanks for your patience.

Edit: As people have noticed, we have made good progress. We have a bit more work to do, but we’re doing much better now. I know some of you still may be having issues, and we’re working on those. Oh, and Happy New Year to those that are celebrating.

Too little, too late. Look at this www.engadget.com/.../xboxlive

I can deal with the occasional downtime. At this point it's just ridiculous.

You know a lot of people complain about how we have to pay 50 dollars a year for live even though playstation doesn't, but you know what, with service like this as soon as there is a problem i am willing to pay the cheap price of $50 a year. If anyone thinks $50 a year is too high a lot of people pay more than that a year to play WoW, but that is still going strong. With what great support for technical issues, updates twice a year that always have something cool in them, and all the great online play, live is way more than worth the $50 i spend every year.

It almost embarrassing to explain to people why you pay for something that doesn't work half the time..

But oh well, atleast I can sign in now.

Account Recovery has been broken for DAYS.  What is the the problem???  I'd be a lot more understanding and not doing stupid things like buying Q-Bert on the Playstation Network to keep myself entertained If I had some sort of "real" ETA or idea of what was happening.

Thanks for the update, however can I just say as someone who's following you on Twitter that the constant updates are getting very tiresome. Yes, you did create a 'Twit-storm' and I I'd much rather prefer updates every hour max instead of every few minutes or more.

Cheers.
