yep I decided to get one instead of a ps3.. add my xboxlive account also 'wenis360'. I got pretty creative with the numbers at the end of my name didn't I?
anyways, does anyone know when xbox live with be fixed? I heard it got a virus or something. it sucks though, kinda gives a bad first impression of it

Unreliability as per usual I assume.
Like i said call live support.. i might do it myself its really pissing me off
I play online a lot, but it just takes a lot of time.
Don't call live support, they don't know ANYTHING lol.
I just called, I asked about coolers for it, and they said anything else except Microsoft Coolers are bad..
Count Blackule add me.
Unreliability as per usual I assume.
this is actually the first incident i've heard/experienced in a long time, ms. negative nancy.
wenis, and any 360 newbies, you can check out the link below to see if XBL is having any issues:
http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/
look on the top right, where it says "Xbox LIVE Service Status" and it'll tell you the status of the service.
it seems like they are having issues.

lol. ms doesnt make "coolers" for the 360 nor does it need one.
Greaser what excess accessories are on your 360 to keep it pimpin?
And add my gamer tag
the only accessories i have are the wireless headset, plug 'n play charge kit, and the quick recharge kit. the headset could be considered excess since it's pretty damn pricey.
umm, i dont know your gamertag.
Count Blackule. XD
My Live seems to be going horrible.
I can't d/l any demo's.
it says that gamertag doesnt exist. how about you add me instead?
Can Do.
Whats your gamer tag?
Just so you all know, Microsoft is acknowledging temporary issues with Live, and will be back online soon I imagine. You know, this has brought up a lot of XBL bashing around the net, and I feel compelled to speak. People claim how the "free" PSN is not going down. Let me add, the dedicated servers are provided by region, and you must do the traditional log into a server stuff. Not that I'm bashing that, but before Live gets attacked because it's P2P, remember, their servers handle the tons of content downloads, as well as unparallelled matchmaking (see above with servers), for the some 500,000 Halo 3 users online at any given moment.
Anyway, back on topic, wenis, good choice with the 360. It's got a great library currently out, and a great 2008 library, which, IMHO, is above the PS3. I think you'll find the Live service to be awesome, and you'll have some great online play as well as single player gaming ahead of you for a long while.
Everything is working now
I just got one today too!
I'm adding Wenis, Cloud and Greaser
Oh, FYI, my gamertag is Hapynoodleboy
Only one "p" (someone already had happynoodleboy and they aren't even active

)
Just had some intense halo matches.
Its going so perfect its awesome. Matches are found very fast.
Also, me and Noodleboy talked forever while I pwned n00bs.
Halo is overrated .... Call of Duty 4 is where its at.
Also, me and Noodleboy talked forever while I pwned n00bs.
...and I went on and on about how awesome Live is like a bad advertiser 
Good times 
btw, Cloud, I got Gold working, so once I screw around a bit with Halo 3 a bit to get a feel for it we should def play some matches
Unreliability as per usual I assume.
How can you try and bash the best online service that is currently available for consoles? Its alot better than using long digit numbers to try add people and then realise you can't even talk to them. 
Cloud added, Noodle added, Nitemare added, Wenis added.
Greaserlee whats your GT?
Oh and Cloud im thinking of re-buying Halo just to kick your ass.

Wow, I thought most people would be using a microphone. Aren't most mics compatible with the PS3 unlike 360? You would expect more people to be chatting away. Since I have had live, it feels weird going into an online game and not hearing people talk. Even if 50% of the time im getting insulted.
Heck its fun!
