real shame this, xbox live no problems from day one right through until xmas just gone and now this.

None of my friends on live had any problems logging into xbox live.

Live Messenger was getting an upgrade.

The Microsoft spokes-lass seemed convinced that there was an outage rather than just an upgrade.

Are you friends in the UK or scattered around the world? I'm trying to get some clarity on all the reports from last night.

Any updates would be gratefully received.

Cheers

Tim

Hi Tim,

Usually when there is a problem with my friends logging into Live they usually ask me what the problem is as I am always on the gaming sites looking at the latest news or on Major Nelson's blog.

My friends are from all over the world, and I got no messages about anyone having problems loggin into Xbox Live - I have 99 friends on my friends list.

I was able to log into Live Messenger and Xbox Live but I was unable to log into Hotmail, after trying a few times I was eventually faced with a notification of an update for Live Messenger which I installed and it improved the interface, after this installation I was able to log into Hotmail.

Hi, SS4,

That's good to know. As the story was blowing up into a storm last evening.



Great stuff. I wonder why Microsoft was stating that it was having troubles then?

Thanks for the info though!

Cheers

Tim
