Anyone having issues with xbox live?

Funky gamertag sigs not loading and xbox live website has runtime errors...

I can;t really complain, I don't use it that much, I just want to get a free game (sad I know, but I missed out on all this 10 fee xbla game stuff and my cheap "300" download went pete tong so 800 pojnts would make me forgive and forget).
In practice I will renew my sub anyway (think it ends this month).

RP,

So i wasnt the only one who's 300 download went to bork city then? I was going to email MS and complain. I know it was only 120 points..... But with these live problems I figure they have bigger things to worry about! ah well at least we have our reliable ps3's :P

Cheers,
Hugest
 
Most things are working, Just small niggles. Like Rep, I can see my stars, But can't view any information when I go in for a closer look, also the Gamer profiles of certain people seem to take forever to load. Yours being one of them RP2000 :p

Also my 360 has been locking up, For like a minute, But if you leave it, It comes back, Which makes me think it's a live thing. On the dashboard, Not in game. :)

Multiplayer gaming is working for me though, had some sessions with my brother today


Also, Voice messages that I receive don't always play on first attempt.

Maybe if these funky gamertag sig places stopped leeching then Live would be better :D I doubt the xbox website is in any way associated with the Live problems we are having.

They're intrinsically linked though as when Live goes down the website dies. If the issue is server load based the the site has a LOT to do with Live issues.
 
Not really, or how else is there 100's of "Live is down" threads on the forums :D Sure a lot of the Live content causes problems on the xbox site if Live is down, but I really doubt the xbox.com site is hosted on Live servers, and if it is it should not be.
 
Now this is a complete guess here but I'd imagine that they have a humongous database cluster that has everyone's profiles on it, that serves both Live on the 360 and Live on the website. Yes the website itself will be hosted on a separate set of servers I'd guess, but remember you can send messages from the website, sort out payments etc so I would very much believe that the two are tied together quite tightly onto one cluster of database servers. I bet you could bring down the website servers without affecting Live on the Xbox, or the 'Live' servers themselves, but a high load on either the Xbox side or the website side would affect the other.

All guesswork of course.

I wish people would stop having a go at other members for being unhappy with the way Live is currently.

It's a basic right to expect to receive the service you're paying for, if the service falls some way below what it should be then people have every right to be unhappy.

The problem seems to be those expectations dont actually match MS's contractual obiligations to the provision of XL.
 
I feel sorry for the support team, think how many complaints they must be recievings.

But me, I aint bothered since I aint even renewed my Gold - i'm just going through SP games and completeing them and racking up the achevements

I never said they were, I am correct in all my statements in my previous post no matter how much you hate me :)
 
I just fired up TDU. Took a solid 4mins just to actually get into the game. This does not bode well :D
 
Argh! Been having issues with trying to play Halo3 on xbox, it takes years and years and sometimes I just get put back into lobby again and "unable to retrieve xbox live details" :/

Com'on!
 
Whoo hoo, i managed to acutlly sign in today, then have half a game of COD4, before the connection was interuppted.

Wonderful.

Was round my mates yesterday trying to get an online game on COD4 on PSN. Took about 5minutes just to get a game then it would drop out after every game. In the end error 33 popped up and then it wouldn't connect at all.

But the website does not die when Live dies, so how are you correct? Off course if Live is down then the website can't get Live data but other than that it works, so would suggest the server for the website is not hosted on the same server as Live to me, but who really cares.

Still playing that game?? I wouldn't mind firing it up again, never gave it a proper chance.

This normally occurs after watching Top Gear :D I get an urge to listen to the roar of some engines so I fire up TDU for a good old cruise :D

However tonight it wasn't happening. I logged on only to hear others complaining of server wide lag, and it was unbearable to play.
