XBL!!!
« on: March 19, 2009, 09:25:22 pm »
I just want to rant!

Cannot add points to download the new COD map pack.

XBL website says its unavailable.

XBL on my 360 says "cannot something suck ass bill gates red rings no cod map that GOW guy looks like a picklesniff"

As the gas station guy on SuperBad says "---fudgesicle--- my life"!

Yep - xbl is down.  Stupid servers can't handle the traffic

From Major Nelson yesterday
Currently, Xbox LIVE members may experience issues related to billing. That means difficulties with account recovery, account management, Marketplace functions and/or making purchases. Users who already have Microsoft Points in their account will be able to redeem them.  Until these issues are resolved, you will also be unable to sign in to Xbox.com, which includes posting in the forums and queuing up downloads on the Marketplace. All other areas of LIVE (matchmaking, friends lists, messaging etc.) are not affected.

Yeah! How dare a system that hosts millions of players at once, allows players to stream HD movies, and download  game add-ons at the same time that works 95% of the time be down for a day and a half! Its almost as if networking capabilities aren't perfect and traffic can be unexpected at times.


 :cheers:
Sorry guys. It'll be back soon enough. Until then, go play some Fallout 3 or SF.

Mauzy I just wanted to take this moment to remind you that you suck.

Not as much as much as the first 4 xbox 360's I went through.

That is all.

It gets better dude.

The map pack says there are FOUR maps.

There are only 3.

I watch the podcast & they say "four maps" but only comment/walk thru three of them.

Potential Donkey Kong kill screen, Potential Donkey Kong kill screen, Potential Donkey Kong kill screen, Potential Donkey Kong kill screen,

EDIT: found the 4th, its a darn zombie only map................weak

IDK why, but Ive never been that compelled to buy the COD4 and WaW map packs. I play them both on live but never really found myself wanting to pay for them.


BTW, why isn't this in consoles?
