After listening to the podcast let me first thank you for keeping us up to date with all the Xbox live stuff. I apologize for myself and some people who might get carried away sometimes. As THE Xbox insider there will be lots of times when you'll get put on a pedestal and also bashed as the scapegoat. My two brothers and I have had trouble recovering our profiles so we can get very frustrated over a long period, but some people shouldn't rant at you in particular like they do.

Just curious, E said in the broadcast that Xbox live was fixed. When was the interview taken? Because it's obviously still down for everyone that recovered their over the last 10 days.

Hey, I found the Zune podcast subscribe button on the left column, thanks.

Just wondering why my Gamer pic on this blog is still the one that I was required to change my pic to for authentication purposes, and not the one that it is currently?
