Where the f*** are our achievements?
The 'The Holiday' season has not been kind to many lovers of the Xbox Live gaming experience, with problems being reported all over this planet that we like to call Earth.
Most recently, Dan Landis at Ripten, has reported that unlocked achievements could (and in his case, did) disappear. In Dan's case this referred to the 800k co-op Guitar Hero III achievement - or rather the lack of one.
His opinion is that, "Basically, while attempting to “fix” Xbox Live, they’ve systematically been rolling back and recovering portions of their servers to weed out the bugs. Again, this is not the “official” word from Microsoft, but the guy on 1-800-4my-xbox said that’s what was going on. He seemed to know what I was talking about when I told him my issue, so that leads me to believe he’s not just making stuff up"
You can read the whole sorry tale over at Ripten.

My xbox live has been messed up all over the christmas holidays and i wouldnt mind as much if i didnt have to fork out 40 quid a year for a service that doesnt work when you want it the most. Plus an official apology is nowhere to be seen. I feel very robbed and very annoyed. Sort it out BILL.

Thats not an xbox live problem.
Guitar Hero 3 has known problems on and offline when it comes to the co-op achievements. Annoying but, not exactly a problem with Live. You guys should know that being clued up and all.

You know it really pisses me off when you get whining c**ts that start bitching about the service not working properly and going around waving their arms about 'but its costing me £40 a year!'
Well wake up:
1) Xbox Live has never incurred such an issue before and now its fixed.
2) You can get it cheaper than £40 a year...
I have been on Live for 5yrs and this is the first hiccup ever and its over.
A surge in Live users what caused it and the problems gone so stop your f**king whining.

'Whining c***s?' You really are an absolute t**t. The problems haven't been fully resolved yet, I was having major problems on Halo matchmaking last night.
Basically, if you pay for a service you have every right to moan if it isn't working properly. The 'holiday season' is no excuse, MS have been banging on about how many new users they were expecting over the period so they should have anticipated it.
Xbox Live is normally a fantastic service, but the high standards they have set have simply not been met over the past couple of weeks. People are perfectly entitled to complain.

Errr, yes there was a problem with Xbox Live over the holiday period and yes we are getting a free Arcade game for it but that has nothing to do with losing achievements as this article is suggesting. No other loss of achievement has been reported for any game. The problem with Guitar Hero 3 has been a known one since release and only for co-op achievements.
This article is false.
I've had no problems since boxing day on the matter of xbox live not working.

No you don't. But that's your choice. £40 is nothing.
